    EU Flags set to fly on Town Halls again! ( and many other places)

    The UK Government is still eligible - and has accepted - significant financial help from the EU to aid economic recovery from the pandemic . This will be distributed to local authorities who will then be required to display the EU Flag to denote on which projects the funding has been allocated / spent!

    I will dust down my old Blue and Gold and proudly display from my shed , which is situated on my ( council owned ) allotment !

    Whatever it is - I blame Brexit!

    Surely we don't want any of that filthy EU money?

    What happened to us sailing the good ship Britannia alone?

    Oh well. Get the flags out.

    That filthy EU money was just some of our money coming back to us.

    The EU has no magic money tree although Greece and Italy have been shaking it for years.

    From the days the "rules-based organisation" fudged it for them to join the EURO.

    As a lot of Europe has watched its tourism take go out the window the "tree" will have to be shaken very hard.

    You need to help me out here, IF the E.U doesn’t have a magic money tree, how have the Greeks and Italians managed to shake it for years?

    Anyway - I am not surprised - the Covid shambles had the hallmark of the EU all along.

    If you don't follow the byzantine accounting of their finances, and I don't blame you, it does seem a strange comment.

    Suffice to say the books are cooked by the EU's Merlins on a regular basis.
    Greece is getting another £32 Billion from the EU out of their magic piggy bank, which the German people strongly resent paying.

    They owe around Euro 350 million-ish to the EU and with no fathomable way of paying it in any normal sense the magic money tree will be shaken, some more EU fantasy fudge will fall out and everyone at the EU pretends its fine.

    I don't know where the tree is either but it regularly pays out.

    We were one of the main contributors. Why were they so desperate to keep us in the shackles?
