ππ€π§‘ #ourflag is a grassroots initiative calling on people and communities across Ireland to come together and reclaim the Irish flag as a symbol of unity, inclusion and hope for all our people.
Throughout the first week of December, people across Ireland will take part by posting a photo or short message with the Irish flag, using the hashtags #OurFlag, #LoveNotHate, and #Γ©irelechΓ©ile #mastodaoine

These are great examples of how much you can say by flying a flag that your government (representing policies you oppose) does not fly.
Here is #OurFlag:
Did someone say "fly the flag" ??
"Un bon croquis vaut mieux qu'un long discours" ("A good sketch is better than a long speech") - Napoleon Bonaparte
We have other flags to fly.
If our parliament refuses to represent half the country, we can choose our own symbols and represent ourselves.
And, just for fun, here is the same flag design as above, but this time with a Welsh Red Dragon in the very centre - and the colours of the official Welsh Flag behind it.
This is a small, first draft. (The final SVG will be massive with much higher resolution).
The border around the circle of stars in the centre is a shade midway between that of the Cross of St. David and the European Stars.
The intention of the flag is to indicate standing foursquare behind Wales and the European Union. And behind the idea of the EU being an integral part of and *in* Wales.
Are there any #Welsh #Remain / #RejoinEU supporters out there on #Mastodon?
(If you are one please #boost so we can reach out to more - many thanks...!)
The question is this: we already have an #OurFlag version of The Saltire and one of the Union Flag.
Not easy to make one from Y Ddraig Goch, but we *can* put one together using the Flag of Saint David as the basis.
Please shout, if you would like. Thank you. π
The Leave voters who have changed their minds:
βI would say 75 per cent of people who voted to leave donβt think it has worked,β Mrs Shepherd tells i. βI think they would never have left. I think theyβve changed their mind.β

Good. Maybe next time you hear siren whispers promising that disunity, isolation, higher costs, more red tape and removal of freedoms will make your life better, you'll exercise a little more scepticism.
