Left: Boris Johnson telling lies about freedom of movement saying the UK had no control of our borders

Right: Aside from being able to remove any criminals coming from the EU, for a longer term stay, EU citizens had to meet certain criteria, if they didn't they could be removed

As a parish councillor, we took a vote to keep them (right decision as needed to be neutral, Couny had sided with flag hangers).

Many residents had complaind so took decision to take them down myself, faced online abuse after being 'outed' so took decision to resign to protect the rest of PCC.

What a joke, since when did British Justice have to be delayed because someone wants a jolly in Israel.

Tommy Robinson should have been thrown in prison.

#Farage - the party leader most people blame for #BrexitShambles - as a @yorkshirepost.co.uk letter notes. Brexiters keep trying (and failing) to present our #EuropeanUnion departure as a success. Just making stuff up again? #RejoinEU

This letter appeared in The Yorkshire Post on 14 October 2025. The writer takes issue with claims by a previous correspondent of exports increasing since Britain left the European Union.

Supported by ads from #Asda, #B&Q and #NationalLottery.
