I recall we had a period of time where the response of Starmer and Cooper to concerns about these groups was ‘I like flags’
Oxford Clarion@oxfordclarion.bsky.social · yesterdayLeaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.
But they seemed like such nice, patriotic, community-minded chaps. (Except the ones currently facing murder, child abuse & assault charges, obviously.)

A reminder: when Zelenskyy offered to share Ukraine’s anti-drone expertise with the US back in March, Trump said he was “the last person we need help from”. Trumps assessment was arrogant and naïve. Ukrainian companies are world leaders in drone production and innovation.
