If every pothole cost £30 we’d have roads like glass

Would rather those potholes get filled then.
With everything going on, to have the energy to care about flags or vandalism (you see graffiti everywhere anyway) is just beyond me.

I have a free work around for this. It’s called rain, save the money for fixing the paths

Thats it then. I never want to see flag again. Get those damn holes filled!

Nothing says patriotism more than vandalising your own country, eh?
AttitudeSimilar9347 on
Well they weren’t going to fill the potholes anyway so this is a meaningless comparison
Mugweiser on
Don’t remove them then and if you really feel you need to, do the potholes first?
gapgod2001 on
Stop taking the flags down and fill the holes instead. Pretty obvious decision to make.

They should have sprayed the flags in the potholes if removing flags is a priority.

How comes they can remove flags but not fix potholes then? I know one is dangerous, environmentally damaging and costly to fix my car etc.. The other is our national flag, likely flown or drawn badly in an inappropriate place, but harming no one other than feelings, maybe. But let’s get the health and safety guy to spend thousands justifying removing paint or fabric, and celebrate this wastage becuase it suits our politics.
How much are they paying the replace light bulbs in parliament still!? Maybe we should fire the contractors (how much is your local council paying them yearly – like g4s, a few billionaires creaming it in) and hire some of these cheaper migrants we hear about?
Or fire the politicians that tell us they can’t fix a pot hole, but then justify removing a flag costing the same as 200 pot holes they can’t fix (whilst gloating that they removed multiple flags)
How is any of this helping anyone or our nation? Waste of time, distraction, divisive politics

Why does one of these things get done in days and one takes years? One of them is a genuine danger to people (especially motorcycles).
More utter bollocks from the council.
Greybur on
Let’s paint flags on all the potholes then?
Hopefully that will kick the councils up the arse and actually fix them.
AndrewShute on
so full the potholes and leave the flags! shows the level of incompetence on councils and how they’ve got their priorities wrong!
Bitter-Policy4645 on
Presumably the people paid to take them down are on a nice little earner, putting them all back up again so the council pays them again to take them down.

Could we not just paint England flags into the potholes then?

Use the money to fill the potholes and get everyone serving community service hours to remove the flags…
amywhirlwind on
Did they go on to explain why they have so many potholes and what was stopping them from being filled in prior to the nasty men putting up flags?
Chimp3h on
I’ve got an idea lads… we paint England flag IN the potholes!!

Prioritise the pot holes and let the winter take care of the flags, or go for the big statement and spend the pot hole money removing flags. I’d rather them ignore the flags tbh
Sally_Traffic on
Here’s a thought. Removing the flags would be an ideal activity for those doing a bit of community service, the only cost being a bit of paint. Then they could do those pot holes as well. Win win and everyone happy.
Bet the pot holes still wouldn’t get done though.
fitzgoldy on
Shame they don’t put the effort into fixing potholes instead of working incredibly hard to take some bloody flags down.
grumpy_pants on
So what I’m learning is they should have put flags on potholes?
OvernightExpert on
Maybe people should spray flags onto potholes ? They might finally get fixed.
McBeefyHero on
This is just fucking ragebait for simpletons. What are BBC doing?
Ok-Tangerine4952 on
Hang on, so are we saying that we could save a lot of money if all the potholes in the country were painted as Union Jack or St. George’s Cross? Perhaps we could train the painters to fix the holes as they go and make it a “win win” or maybe a “game changer”

Painting the English flag on a roundabout is just desecrating the flag itself.
