A suspended Labour MP said her 'stomach churned' when she saw colleagues wave English flags - describing them as just 'tatty bits of cloth'.
Another white middle aged middle class woman…🙄
Rachael Maskell was elected to serve the York Central constituency but had the whip removed this year after rebelling against Sir Keir Starmer's welfare cuts.
Ms Maskell told The Sun she is trying to 'build unity and not division' after alleged racist incidents in York.
Funny way to go about it - Do you need to look up those concepts, love?
Here you go....

If you hate your own country's national flag then maybe you're not fit for public office.

Anyone who's stomach churns at the sight of their country's flags should move to a country whose flags they find less stomach churning.

I'm 24 days time, most of the country will stand in memory of those who fought, and died, under the Union flag, showing a debt to men and women of many nations. Whatever people like Maskell will do, it will Shirley show what her true beliefs are. If they stand, on that one day, and then spend the rest of the year showing their contempt, it will prove just what hypocrites they are. If they refuse to stand then, while following their beliefs, it will show they are not fit to represent the people of this country. Whatever happens, I hope the voters take note, and remember.

While keeping the Union Flag*, I fail to see why we should be bound to its constituent parts.
For something we can all get behind, how about resurrecting the White dragon of King Alfred and the Royal Standard of Scotland (since the SNP effectively hijacked the Saltire)? You can never have too many dragons and a lion’s not bad either.
*Watching The Great British Bake-off this week, it occurred to me that the marquee is liberally decorated with Union Flag bunting. Since the display of the flag is perceived by many to be an indicator of far-right attitudes (remember the man thrown off a public sector training course and reported to police because his second-hand car had the previous owners Union Jack sticker in the back window.), do such people regard Bake-off as some kind of Nuremberg Rally with scones?
