Interest flagging? Let’s try some bunting instead

FLAGS. Flags everywhere.

- Carrie Carlisle

Always red and white.

Usually hanging from lampposts.

They made me really nervous at first. A horrible sick feeling in my stomach, where I entered a town and saw them proudly on display.

The very antithesis of a welcome sign.

I know we've been lectured within an inch of our sanity, from all sides, on what these flags mean.

So there’s no point in me going over the myriad of excellent points already made about this supposed flag “movement”.

And how the time and energy used to hoist them, would be better spent on actually improving our towns and communities, rather than defacing them

So I have a rather different solution to proffer: Bunting.

Look, Far-to-Mid-Righters, we get it. You proper love En-ger-land. Big style.

And you want to show unswerving devotion to King and Country, in your own unique way.

But also win the hearts and minds of those of us not batting for Team Xenophobe.
