@erininthemorning.com Flag bans being silly again.

Some half-arsed politicians in the UK have on occasion tried to ban the EU flag, on the grounds that since #brexshit we are no longer a member of the EU so flying this flag is a divisive political statement.

However ... the flag rules clearly state that allowed flags include those of international bodies to which the UK belongs. Which includes that of the Council of Europe.

Pictures of both these flags are included below for comparison purposes.

@kibcol1049 Well, they'll be in the PPRuNe archives for a start, but I got banned from there. (There's a slight RWNJ tint to that community and I think I might have said "#brexshit" once too often. Another example of RWNJ "free speech" not applying if you disagree with RWNJs.)

There's one somewhere in the Gulf which I don't remember what it is, and there's one in East Anglia but I don't recall whether it's Beatles or Pink Floyd.

@brouhaha Yeah, those numbers sound very familiar from #brexshit. Things that you used to be able to buy or sell across borders with no taxes or paperwork at all end up costing several times the actual purchase price in cross-border friction.

So some businesses simply stopped selling cross border, it wasn't worth the hassle and the pissed-off customers.
