Hero and Zero of the Week
This Week’s Hero Is…
…those hardy soles that turned out yesterday to protest in defence of the wonders of capitalism. YBF graduate Nic Conner takes up the story on the Conservative Future website, here.
This Week’s Zero Is…
…Dan McCurry, who writes on LabourList. In a recent article, McCurry says that the Union Flag needs to be reclaimed from the “far right” in order to become a symbol of true national pride. I couldn’t agree more. However, McCurry’s proposed method is absurd: “We will need the white population of this country to avoid waving the flag for those six months, while the black and ethnic minority communities must fly it every day.” It’s impossible to think of a more divisive thing to do with our national flag. I support McCurry’s desire to be proud of our flag, but his method is madness.
