Comment on Council removes almost 1,000 flags from Derby streets

They aren’t patriots. It’s not like they put up the flags of Derby or Derbyshire, and they don’t put up the Union Flag nearly as often as the cross of St. George.
And why don’t they put up the flag of the Commonwealth? Do they not sing God Save the King?

only 15 of 56 commonwealth members have king charles as head of state, so it would be kinda werid and against the spirit of things to waive it out of royalist sympathy. You could fly the Royal Standard, but I’m pretty sure that’s a hangin’ if you aren’t actually in the presence of the king.

You’re quite right, and there isn’t actually a flag of Derby, and the Derbyshire flag isn’t that old, but none of that matters, because they aren’t flying the flags out of patriotism.

One can only hope Charles ends like his namesake.
