Flag Day commemorates the recognition of the Faroese Merkið by Britain as a friendly symbol during WW2. PM Johannesen marks the 85th anniversary of the event to celebrate the bonds between UK and Faroe Islands. #flag day #faroes #faroeislands #friendship #Føroyar #fco #nordic

“If you care, care now, not ten years in the future when it’s all gone. We need your support now”. Making no apologies for how cutting and clear my commentary is. @DefraGovUK @SteveReedMP @RachelReevesMP @Keir_Starmer do the right thing. You are ruining our country.
