A reminder that the real patriots aren’t the ones tying flags to lampposts or standing around outside 3-star hotels. They’re the ones who get stuck in within their local communities, the volunteer, the football coach, the litter picker and myriad others.

Agreed. I see flags that were tied to lampposts months ago, now torn and ragged. The so called patriots who put them there care nothing for the national flag. The quiet community volunteers are those who make a difference to people and nation.

They look awful, having been battered by wind and rain. I spent quite a bit of time in my childhood in NI and when we went through loyalist communities there were flags and painted curbs. I have a very visceral hatred of that. It’s designed to make people feel like outsiders.
