Pack it in Mr. P.

Rishi Sunak will be grateful for your job next month...

I'm hoping Amanda will appear one night while I've got my brush handy then I'll sweep her off her feet.

No it wouldn't, the flag is upside down, which is a distress signal. The broad white stripe should be above the red and next to the flag pole.

Doesn't matter which way the flag is flying, both sides replicate each other and the broad white stripe will be at the top in both directions.

I assume one of the rats leaving the sinking ship hoisted it as they deserted their comrades. 😂

 

 

I knew the time I spent in  ATC 367 squadron at RAF Norton  would eventually pay off.  Only took 62 years, well worth it 👍

 

In the photo, move the flagpole to the other side and then imagine you walk around to the other side of the flag. The broad white stripes are above the red and next to the flagpole. It seems to me like it works both ways and that the flag is back to front but also upside down, and can be corrected both ways.

Farage likely just wants to be an MP to get dry cleaning expenses

But their appeal is pretty much solely to the over-50s, which would explain their disproportionate popularity on here. That's not going to win a GE, especially if the vote is extended to 17 and 18 year olds. But carry on splitting the right wing vote, it suits me.

Interesting..

Yet in the UK, at least according to the Telegraph so it could be nonsense, the most popular parties for the under-50s are

 

1. Labour 

2. Green

3. Tory

Nigel Farage just being an arse. 

As per usual.

Initially I was aghast at the amount of publicity he was getting, in spite of his 'political party' having only 1 MP. However, he really is showing himself to be thin skinned and extremely unpleasant.

Can you imagine the people of Clacton going to Farage for help with neighbour disputes, housing issues, benefits claims queries etc, etc

No, it's upside down. Take another look at this link. If you move the pole to the other side of the flag the thin white stripe would still be closest to the pole.http://projectbritain.com/geography/unionjack7.html

More to the point, can people imagine Farage helping them?

 

A quote from a Clacton resident in this article:

Quote

Carswell was a respected and very active MP locally – Hoare says he thought Brexit was popular here thanks more to him than to Nigel Farage or Boris Johnson – but the local MP today, the Conservative former actor Giles Watling, is a distant and ineffective politician.

 

Which doesn't bode well for Farage.
