    Twatty ‘Reform’ council. For anyone outside of the UK, Reform are to the UK as MAGA/ Trump is to the US. They sell the story that taxing the billionaire people and companies a tiny bit is bad, and actually the loss of national revenue is down to people who aren’t exactly like us.

      Yeah but we’re burying the lede here:

      However deputy mayor Ashley Orwin, who is gay, said the complaint and the flag’s removal had supercharged support for the town’s first Pride event, which is taking place in June next year.

      So really, the Streisand effect has teeth, and it’s beautiful to see.
