At this point, I heartily advocate for the reintroduction of dragons. Fried gammon smells nice.

Be careful you can go to prison for saying things like that these days – however funny

Always loved that fact that the fascists who do this have no idea it’s rooted in modern day Turkey 🤣

As those George-crossed roundabouts are no longer legally normalized, can one ignore them ? 🤔

Are you referring to the old British Standard, as in the BS kitemark, or some sort of ‘british standards’ for honouring England’s patron saint?

George, born in Turkey in 3rd century, not a knight, never fought a dragon nor set foot in this country - also patron saint in multiple other countries. Our flags have been demeaned since the BNP adopted the Union flag - now symbolic of little else than racism certainly not patriotism.

First of all these could be supporting The Red Cross. If it's supposed to be the St. George Cross then I would have thought it was denigrating the flag.

Expecting the right wing press to scream that "going left at roundabouts, is woke" and that vehicles should "go right, on roundabouts ". Its the mantra, not the logic
