But the flag represents everything for people in Ukraine, or Budapest, Romania or Tbilisi. 👇

Banning the 🇪🇺 only shows the post #Brexit British insecurity and provincialism.

People like Corbyn or Sultana and their supporters are against “centrists”
But they are happy with Russia, with Brexit, with Cummings or with Farage.

Europe and Mediterranean partners are reaching for the same goals:
peace, better lives for our people, and a chance at progress.
By working together as equals, we can achieve these objectives through stronger partnerships and far more cooperation.
