brexiters often insist that people who voted remain must "respect the result"... i am not sure entirely what they mean by that because although i consider it a bad decision and will continue to say so... i do respect the result and consider it irreversible

i would counter that brexiters need to accept that half the country simply does not see the EU in the same way that they do and never will... this doesn't make us traitors

Maybe their Ukranian flag is at the cleaners and they didn't want an empty flagpole.

They're not hoisting it. Mr Khan's office is. Great advocates of democracy. The majority of Londoners better hope he likes what they do the next time.

OG: "Because a majority of them are not patriots and wish to show alliance to a foreign elite whom they would prefer to rule over them (and presumably they approve of that elite being awkward and causing issues for the UK). " - so 5C then?

i have absolutely no idea what this means

Badoom-tsch!

Maggie;"...... I'd be happy to fly this flag. " - why doesn't that surprise me!?

sp1814 15:05, untitled 15:28, I know but if we did that would be the date, so I called it that to flush out the 5C, it worked.

"london voted heavily to remain and i would guess the majority of londoners have not changed their minds..." - yeah and so did Acacia Avenue in Toyland but the vote was UK wide, geddit?

The most important thing about Brexit is flags.
I suppose it's true in a way since there are precious few other plusses outside of "sovereignty" and something for red faced brigadiers to spraff about.

I presumed that in boxing parlance when one is knocked out one sees stars.

TTT nothing I do seems to surprise you so it's a bit of a mystery why you even bother responsing.
Scotland did not vote to leave the EU and I think they would rejoin at the first opportunity. I certainly would, been a total disaster. What exactly are the benefits of Brek**it?

[ToraToraTora]

maggie:"Scotland did not vote to leave the EU and I think they would rejoin at the first opportunity." - Scotland is part of the UK, UK as a whole voted to leave. You can't just pick areas where you got your own way and claim they voted to stay.

TTT

"sp1814 15:05, untitled 15:28, I know but if we did that would be the date, so I called it that to flush out the 5C, it worked."

Ha ha ha...you're the King o' the Answerbank.

[naomi24]

So would you fly the UK flag, maggiebee? Scotland didn’t vote to leave that.

if they're allowed to fly the Ukraine flag the should be allowed to fly any flag they like (maybe not the ones signifying you've got yellow jack aboard): it's a free country.

I wonder how many other European country cities are flying the UK flag just because some of our people live there.

i don't know if you have noticed toratoratora but london city hall is not intended to represent the whole of the uk

[retrocop]

I recall some left wing council flying some terrorist affiliated flag but some flags that town halls hoist are really quite gay. :-)

[naomi24]

Untitled, it’s not intended to represent the EU either.
