Union Flag

Following Reform's ban on flags, Wirral’s Green Party has criticised those who fly the Union or England flags, saying they intimidate people. 

Cllr. Jeff Green, Leader of Wirral’s Conservative Councillors, said: “This is just more virtue signalling from the Green Party. 

"To suggest that anyone should be intimidated by our country’s flag is utter rubbish. 

“The Union Flag and the flag of St George are powerful reminders of our sense of identity as a country. 

“Wirral’s Conservative Councillors stand with those patriots who are proud to fly our country’s flag and all it represents."

Have your say

From what you’ve seen or heard so far about Labour’s Digital ID cards, do you:
Conservatives and Reform have said that the UK should leave the European Convention on Human Rights. Do you agree?
Do you believe that flying our country’s flags, whether the Union Jack or the England flag, is a patriotic act?

Anything else to tell us about?
