For once, I can be proud of Basildon!Local councils and government departments were supposed to fly the European flag today to mark Europe Day.
However, Euro-sceptic Tory leaders of Basildon Council refused to hoist it outside the Basildon Centre.

Until we leave the EU the only flag I'll consider flying is the Jolly Roger. I do have a St George's flag on my registration plate but that's because I can't find one with a skull and there's no way I'd ever display the worthless EU rag.
EU flag ?
Good only for wiping yer bum on !!
The EU flag is deliberately bland, unprovocative and utterly uninteresting, designed by committee and reflecting nothing.
Its only purpose is to put a small splash of colour on construction site boards that declare the work is 'funded by a grant from the EU' which, er, is funded by the people walking past the site. Less skim offs and chunky Brussels wages, of course.
I reckon a few others councils didn't fly the flag either but kept quiet about it.
Should have flown it - having lit it first.

Luckily, mine is plain!
"Should have flown it - having lit it first."
Now, there's a great idea!
