A Reform government would compel all schools to fly the Union Flag and display a picture of the King – 17 less than enthusiastic replies

Ok, so the UK may not be doing terribly well at the moment. Rising fuel prices, inflation increasing, long NHS waiting lists and the increasingly bleak prospects of our young ‘uns to be able to ever afford a house of their own.

But it’s reassuring to see that at least one political party has their priorities sorted. Reform UK have vowed to make everything better by forcing all schools to fly the Union Flag and display a picture of the King. Hooray!

Here’s the rather giddy announcement from Reform chairman and tax evader avoider, Richard Tice.

Reform will require schools to fly Union Flag & display a picture of the King

Common sense patriotism https://t.co/IAha2TCTcM

Brings a tear to the eye. Just maybe not in the way it was intended to.

To the replies!

If everyone was as patriotic as Richard Tice, there would be no money for any public services. pic.twitter.com/JiIumFGtfG

Do Reform voters really want their children to grow up learning to be servants to “their betters”?

Richard presumably proudly flies the Jersey flag where (according to The Times) you'll find his company profits resting; away from the taxman.
Who'd probably only fritter away the reputed £900k on fripperies like schools, hospitals & defence. pic.twitter.com/sb6GY2Zyu2

More performative, virtue signalling tripe.

What kind of World do you people live in with this superficial horseshit?
Did you have that when you were at school? Of course you didn’t.
Tricky, this is NOT America so get a grip
