About this deal

Performative patriotism is a trait that the British have long lampooned, from Colonel Blimp railing at foreigners in his bathtub, to Captain Mainwaring struggling to assert his status in Walmington-on-Sea, to the desperate efforts of politicians on Yes Minister or The Thick of It, to be more patriotic than thou. Looking back at the accounts of the business, managing director Paul Noble suggests, is an exercise in patriotic history. Your Kings Coronation street party will look great with these Union Jack plates, Union Jack cups, Union Jack tablecovers and Union Jack bunting. If you need items urgently then don't panic as we can send items out to you on a guaranteed next working day service.

Flags continued to fly over buildings much as before, there were no citizenship ceremonies, and the expression of the kind of inclusive patriotism that Brown had in mind was undone by the banking crash and the divisive efforts to avert disaster that followed. Eighty years ago last week, at the most desperate juncture of a war of a very different kind, George Orwell identified exactly the divide that the government now seeks to deepen. It is, though, traditionally a cyclical business, driven by World Cups, jubilees – and now, it seems, by culture wars.His theme was “reinvigorating Britishness”, and he offered a series of policies to promote the idea. It lay in the fact that the decibel level at the Olympic stadium had been loudest when Johnson, as mayor of London, waved the union jack to open the Games (“much louder than when Mo whatever-his-name-is won his medals”). To those who prevailed in the EU referendum, and to those who lost, it had the appearance of another victory parade. There will also, Noble suggests, be an obvious knock-on effect of the requirement to fly the flag 24/7 rather just on ceremonial days.

ThisUnion Jack capeis ideal for any party, festival or event where you want to show your support for Great Britain! It is tempting to imagine these battle lines of the “culture wars” as inventions of Brexit and social media. If you were an intellectual you sniggered at the Union Jack… It is obvious that this preposterous convention cannot continue. Brown toured the TV studios to argue that the flag symbolised British values of “liberty, a sense of responsibility, fairness”.The high point of that relaxed inclusivity seemed to come with the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics, which captured a playful patriotic tone and wove it into an emotional history of struggle and sacrifice and commonality, one that set the stage for the unifying heroics of Team GB that followed. In the ancient history of 2007 Gordon Brown stood up in parliament to give his first speech as prime minister. In response to the video of Wild questioning Davie, former Conservative MP Anna Soubry tweeted that “the toes of sensible Tories will be curling up to their knees”, but the party she once imagined herself to belong to has, it seems, long gone.
