Another bold suggestion from the Great British PAC is taking off – and it’s already fluttering across English skies.
In a brilliant new development, Reform UK controlled councils in England are set to take swift action following a punchy proposal from the Great British PAC’s populist policy platform.
Soon, the only flags allowed on council buildings in Reform UK run areas will be the Union Jack, the St George’s Cross, the relevant county flag – with almost everything else banned from balconies to boardrooms.
The PAC suggested of course the Royal Standard should be permitted when the King or a member of the Royal Family visits the borough. And visiting military units returning from deployment should also be honoured – their regimental emblems allowed to fly as a mark of respect and welcome for their service.
But outside of those rare moments? It’s back to basics.
No rainbow flags, no EU stars, no regional or political banners – just red, white and blue, and England’s iconic red cross on white. The hard-line stance is being hailed by Reform UK supporters as a patriotic push to restore pride and unity.
One council insider told The Conservative and Reformer Post: “The message is clear, no more political posturing with flags. We’re flying our national colours, and that’s it.”
The shake-up, already being drafted into formal motions, will apply to flagpoles, reception desks, council chamber walls and any official premises. Staff have been warned that “unauthorised flags will not be tolerated”.
The Great British PAC – which has been making waves with a series of blunt, UK-first proposals said the move was about “restoring common sense and national pride to local government”.
A Reform UK spokesman said: “These buildings are funded by the British taxpayer. They should reflect the nation, not niche agendas or foreign ideologies.”
Opposition voices, including Labour and the Lib Dems, branded the idea “petty and divisive”, claiming it shuts down the expression of diversity. But Reform UK aren’t backing down and the rules are expected to pass with ease in councils where the party holds sway.
With Reform snapping up more seats and influence at the local level, don’t be surprised if this red, white and blue policy lands on a town hall near you.
