I bought these as cheap practical wellies for the winter… fit well. But just put them on for a country walk with friends and the union jacks feel v prominent and with all the flag loonies making me worry about the message I am sending. https://www.argos.co.uk/product/tuc146088210?rec=PDP%5Btuc145899740%5D:attLightbox:extras:ARE:xsell:tuc146088210:YJYTGDGaZVn8xtAXUEAL not worn yet… click and collect so easy to take back. Considered just colouring the flag in . I can’t believe I’m feeling this way but would hate to make anyone feel intimidated.

taken them off and will wear other shoes. What would you do. A bit annoyed by it tbh having our flag stolen by these people.

I think you're using sweeping generalisations and class based presumptions in a highly volatile time for politics in this country. Anyway, we shall see who votes Reform in 2029.

I take it you didn't read the Telegraph this week as it contained the answers to all your questions about 75% of the establishment being left wing (which includes the professions). Which slightly contradicts your assertion that most wealthy people usually vote Conservative. That is no longer the case.

To assume anything makes an ass out of you and me..

Oh come on, the Telegraph is a Tory shit- rag! Nobody with half a brain cell relies on that for information. It would be like quoting the Daily Mail 😆

Good God, the world has gone mad.

NOTHING racist about the British flag!

They base the article on the findings of Electoral Calculus UK

Although I am inclined to (partly) agree with you re the Telegraph as standards have gone down recently. The DM insult is a bit too boring and old school for me though. It's 2025! Surely you can do better!?

Blimey,such consternation over a pair of boots! I debate that they are actually wellies though.. and unless you are on board a shop,it's NOT a Jack! Y'know....Jack Tar.... sailor!

Onboard a ship, phone altered that!

I would have to squint to notice that flag
