The home of common sense. This is talk. The first lady of international politics. I love this lady,

and she's got up nice and early to try and make me feel like I'm at home. We say a very good morning

to Talks International letter to Isabelle Oakshod. Hello. Good morning. You are making that up,

aren't you, that Essex story. I swear to you, I swear on my life, this broke last night.

Essex Council are feeling they're concerned and they're offering professional psychiatric support

to staff who feel unsettled by St George's flags that have been put up across the country in recent weeks.

In an email, we've got it.

Essex County Council told workers that the flags may evoke feelings, Isabel,

of discomfort and be associated with anti-immigration rhetoric,

particularly for colleagues of colour.

I'd love your response.

I mean, my response would get me into a lot of trouble with the bosses if I said, well, it won't. No, it won't.

The words that are actually in my mouth are for F's sake. Is that acceptable? Yes, you can. This is why

that guy is leaving for Thailand. You know, he's literally going to the other side of the world because

what the heck has gone wrong with people? How can they be traumatized by the site of our own

flag? And if they are, then why are they in this country? I don't get it. This is absolutely

bonkers. I mean, beyond bonkers. And you know, I'm going to say this to you actually, because just in the last hour doing this, you know, you said, somebody rang out this is Bill, right? And they said, so I wake up this morning, I wake up at four o'clock. I get ready to go to work and do my 60 hours and I don't go on holiday and I'm still struggling to pay this, that and the other, but I'm trying to do everything.

And I'm driving along and I'm listening to talk and I'm thinking, right, so let me get this absolutely right. And we'll talk about all the news.

We've got a government that's taking its own people to court

because they prefer the rights of migrants

over those of locals who are concerned about, you know,

unvetted men in their local communities.
