A London council’s decision to strip Union Jacks and St. George’s flags hung by residents quickly exposed the usual media fault lines.
The left framed it as a mundane infrastructure decision, stressing that the flags were only taken down for street lighting upgrades. The right cast it as a flashpoint in the culture wars, highlighting defiance across England and tying the removals to broader frustrations over immigration and national pride.
That kind of polarised coverage is exactly why Ground News exists. With nearly 30 outlets reporting this story, it’s the most practical way to expose spin before we mistake it for fact.

Do politicians even understand the physics of the energy system? Or is net zero being pursued as a virtue-signalling exercise divorced from engineering reality?
Politicians and financial powerbrokers seem to outsource serious thinking to elite consulting firms like McKinsey. Is their guidance shifting in more realistic directions, or are they still making things worse by projecting unrealistic visions like re-imagining large scale electrical storage? Are they learning anything at all, or are they just telling politicians to swallow the spider to catch the fly?
