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.

Kathryn Rolls Royce are touting their SNR development as a future solution for energy needs in the UK and perhaps the wider world, and most analysts say a mix of renewables and fossil fuels will be needed until such tech comes online. What do you think is the timeline for this transition, and do you think Fusion Reactors might supersede it, and what might that look like?
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?
