Exactly
I've got a couple of old fridges to get rid of. Normally the council charge to remove them and you wait weeks for a collection. Maybe if I paint red crosses on them they'll be gone by lunchtime.

You won’t in Reform controlled councils….as they aren’t doing any work, they are too busy arguing about who is the least incompetentI've got a couple of old fridges to get rid of.

I believe the St George's flag itself is linked to the Norman's and the Crusades.
From AI.
The Third Crusade and King Richard I:
During the Third Crusade, King Richard I visited St. George's shrine in Lydda (now Lod, Israel) before a crucial battle. The subsequent victory, coupled with Richard's admiration for St. George's legend of slaying a dragon, led him to adopt St. George as his personal patron and protector of his army
The original flag of the Anglo Saxons was the White Dragon.

Yeah, or was the crusades that bright it to England. Unlikely in such a romantic fashion. I read years ago it was because crusaders, mostly common soldiers with a kindly leaving, started to question why they were spending years travelling to the middle east to slaughter families, so the government / kingdom used this sorry for morale. Ie he died for Christianity. I always thought that the dragon represented oppression, ie Romans, but then was twisted to represent islam rising in the holy land.
