Civil Servants Triggered by British Flags
Stephen Edgington broke a story revealing that civil servants held safe space meetings and were offered 11 mental health services after being 'triggered' by English and British flags put up by the Raise the Colours movement. The movement began as a reaction to years of Palestine, BLM, and trans flags being displayed while British symbols were discouraged. Birmingham and Oxfordshire councils are now seeking High Court injunctions to ban flag displays, with potential two-year jail sentences for violators.
