A portrait of #KingCharlesIII to display, the #UnionJack to fly, a “patriotic curriculum” with at least 60 percent of assessed history content to focus on Britain ... #BrexitBritain
#History colored by #Farage and his #ReformUK ... "patriotism"

Farage wants a picture of King Charles in every English school

Reform UK also wants a “patriotic curriculum,” and to see the Union Jack flown.

Third time lucky? Here's a final attempt at a "Unity Jack" - a version of the UK flag intended to symbolise unity arising out of diversity. SVG and PNG format files are available at https://cmacleod.me.uk/oddsnsods/unityjackflag.htm .

The Most British Office in London

Someone chose to put two Union Jack armchairs and an exercise ball in their office window for all of London to see. I spotted this walking past an office block and the arrangement stopped me mid-stride. The chairs are proper wingbacks, upholstered in full flag regalia, flanking a slightly deflated-looking exercise ball that's doing its best to fit in. Someone in that office has a sense of humour, and I'm grateful they put it by the window.

So I posted my "Unity Jack" in a flag-design group on Reddit, and it was flamed to incineration - https://redd.it/1sc3tsk - so I've now dialled it back a bit by reverting the whole background to the original dark blue. Again, it's available in SVG format at https://cmacleod.me.uk/oddsnsods/unityjack.svg .
