Of course it's about the language of the brochure but still, taking you (half) seriously: 1. I see two saltires and 2.

He's referencing the fact that the famous Scots author Sir Walter Wallace was an arch unionist, of course.

Cerberus Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I get that he means well but talking about more AC in offices and free ice cream when it’s hot the day after BoJo has gone full steam towards a Hard Brexit is ludicrous.Corbyn is the guy you call when you’ve been fired from Asda not when you want someone to run the country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 There are none, the Saltire isn't dark blue.He must be counting the cross of St Patrick as the 2nd “saltire” which would make it one by your reckoning Although given that it’s the white bit as opposed to the blue bits of the Scottish flag that’s a saltire (heraldically speaking a diagonal cross ) he could still be right But the white areas are also white on the cross of st George and neither of the “saltires” are continuous areas so maybe not 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the Union Flag/Jack and you see the saltires of Saints Andrew and Patrick. Is this in any way contentious? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corbyn is the guy you call when you’ve been fired from Asda not when you want someone to run the country. He called Johnson out at the dispatch box today. Tweeting about a good policy when people will be most receptive to hearing about that policy seems like a good idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Is Corbyn the comic turn to fill time before Johnson's clowns get up to speed? Can't wait for his 'umbrellas for everybody' statement when the rain comes. In other news I believe Barnier has called Johnson's bleatings combative, which bodes well for the coming months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Kinc, Just wondering if you're happy with the UK's choice of PM. Maybe you've commented elsewhere on this, but if you have, apologies, I must have missed it. Is BJ the man to unite the divided tory party, the divided country and preserve the Union? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
