It didn’t take them long to show what they are really about. Kent has a population of 1.5 million, I am sure there are more pressing issues amongst that amount of people than what flags are flying on the council building.
But who the fuck knows in this day and age, maybe this is genuinely the thing that bothers some people most.

Reform aren’t going to be very subtle over the next few years. Too stupid to even try.

If a Ukrainian flag flying in Kent County Council bothers you then I’d suggest you aren’t a serious politician or voter.

As a resident of Ukraine, I can only thank the sane British for their support. Life is an unpredictable thing. Today you help us, and tomorrow you may need our help.
I wear a Union Jack bracelet as a sign of admiration for the country that fought alone for 2 years of World War II.

If you are going to allow Ukraine then also allow flags of other countries which are currently invaded such as Palestine and Congo.

Reform are Russian puppets !! Farage has been a Putin asset since Brexit 🤢

Totally support this by Reform UK. We are not at war with Russia and although I support Ukraines efforts to defend themselves against the invasion no flags other than the British/Crown and Union Nations flags on national days, should be flown on Council Buildings.
Nationalism and flags, it’s really important to them. We get the SNP making rules up here, they basically amount to never flying the union jack unless they really really have to.

Putin has given Farage his instructions.
Kent’s Reform UK council – only obeying orders.

Reform will fuck up so bad as soon they get any power. I just hope people wake up before we have to find out the hard way.

Reform want to replace it with a Russian flag instead

If theres enough flagpoles, I dont really see any issue with waving a flag of any variety.
If they were building new flagpoles to fly different flags constantly, sure, maybe a waste of money, but it doesnt really bother me to sort of raise a „guest“ flag or something to signify an occasion or something, providing you can get hold of one easily.
This whole thing is just a really baffling discourse. I’m not sure how its become an issue

A lot of weirdly anti-Ukraine comments in this post…

Months ahead of an election, a populist party does some market testing to figure out what people hate and then pick from the spectrum of hate aimed at anything the party happens to hate (Farage has a Venn diagram to illustrate this, I imagine) to build their platform.

It’s because walking past a council office and seeing what flags are flying outside is the closest anyone from Reform UK has come to bothering to find out what councils do

Who does this flag hurt? Even Putin is not going to care that KCC are flying this flag, so it is not like you are going to be in his good books by taking it down. It is all performative nonsense for their far right supporters who probably think Putin is right to invade Ukraine.

Yes because my inability to earn enough to house myself, feed myself, keep myself warm, bathe myself, live independently as a tax payer, is all hinging on whether or not people sport a Ukrainian flag.

With all the issues this country faces, with all the ’solutions‘ Reform claim to have proposed to ‚fix‘ the country, and they deem this one of their priorities? I’d like to say this exposes their nonsense to their voter base, but I don’t think it will.

I hope come next election people will actually research what they say instead of doing what the states did and blindly vote for someone just because one of policy. Reform won’t help the working class for a start. Lee Anderson would have you eating water and potatoes and class it as a meal, because ya know he was up at 4 am cleaning roads with his tongue when he was a working man. They would all sell us down the river to make them selves a little richer. Especially Farage.

This will be a hugely popular decision.
