UK Council Offers Emotional Support To Staff “Discomforted” By Seeing The National Flag

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,

A council in the county of Essex, close to London, has been ridiculed for offering emotional support to employees they claim are feeling unsettled by seeing so many people raising the national flag in the streets of towns and cities across the country.

As we have highlighted, the action is being taken by everyday people in Britain who are sick to the back teeth of mass illegal immigration and the fallout it’s having on their communities.

An email sent to staff by Essex County Council states that it is “aware of the increasing visibility of St George’s and Union Jack flags displayed on road signs, bridges and trees in parts of Essex”.

The email continues, “While these symbols may hold different meanings for different people, we recognise that for many – particularly our colleagues of colour – they can evoke feelings of discomfort and be associated with anti-immigration rhetoric”.

Anti-illegal immigration, yes. Go on.

“We stand firmly against all forms of racism and discrimination, and we are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment for everyone,” the email ridiculously states, as if being perturbed about boat loads of illegals washing up in dinghies and being put up in four star hotels at taxpayer expense and allowed to wander freely around local communities is “racist”.

As we highlighted yesterday, it’s the centrist position of most British people now.

The council email continues:

As your senior leadership team, we want to express our deep concern and solidarity. We stand firmly against all forms of racism and discrimination, and we are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment for everyone.

If you are feeling unsettled or affected by what you’re seeing, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

You can speak with your line manager, Service Manager, Global Majority Leads, Antonia, Assistant Director, or Director. We are here to listen, support you, and ensure that both you and the children and families we serve feel safe and valued.

Making the actions of Essex Council even more ridiculous is the fact that right outside their own HQ building there flies a Union Jack and  St George’s Cross.

Commenting on the situation, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage noted “I’ve got to tell you, as an Essex MP, and yes, I was in Clacton at the weekend and there are an awful lot of St George’s crosses.”

“And yes, there are some in places they ought not to be. But I found this whole thing rather uplifting,” Farage added, labelling the council’s actions as “unbelievable.”

Essex County Council is totally out of touch with the county. No wonder they didn’t want elections in May!https://t.co/3OYAgwSyja

Farage’s GB News guest Lord Maurice Glasman remarked “You get mugged and your bag nicked and that’s nothing to do with them, but you put a flag up and it’s suddenly an issue.”

Former Attorney General Sir Michael Ellis also responded “This is two-tier. The council won’t fix a pothole but worry about this.”

In related news, the British government has won its legal fight against a separate local council that sought to shut down a migrant hotel in Essex.

The Court of Appeal ruled on Friday that a temporary injunction obtained by Epping Forest District Council against the continued use of the Bell Hotel to house so called “asylum seekers” should be overturned.

The hotel has been a site of intense protest by locals and anti-mass immigration activists for weeks following the arrest of a migrant charged with sexually abusing a child.
