Tories vow not to fly Euro flag alongside Union 'Jack'

TORIES VOW NOT TO FLY EURO FLAG ALONGSIDE UNION 'JACK'

29 December 2005

Conservatives in Tamworth have insisted that they will never allow the European flag to fly alongside the Union 'Jack' over Marmion House.
The pledge follows a decision from John Prescott to give the EU banner the same status as Britain's Union flag.
"We promised to encourage pride in our town and in our country. That is why we fly the Union Jack over Marmion House," said Robert Pritchard cabinet councillor.
"There is no way we are going to hoist the EU banner on equal terms with our own flag."
Tory spokesman Christopher Pincher added: "I am absolutely behind our council in resisting the government's agenda of 'creeping federalism'."

Hi

As someone who is in Tamworth - and a local (Independent) councillor to boot - it's nice to be able to back the local Tories in this political gesture. Because it's near impossible to support them in anything else they get up to!!
