I didn't actually witness this for myself, but a friend told me that the Oliver Cromwell statue in St Ives (Hunts) - which is surely a prime candidate for the Colston treatment in terms of being within dragging distance of a suitable watercourse, of a Known Genocidaire and of surpassingly ugly late 19thc manufacture, but that's by the by - has been festooned in Jubilee bunting. I'm not sure what level of irony is involved.

As for myself, as I discovered last week on a visit to my mum in darkest Brexitshire I have become sufficiently Hibernicised that Union Jack bunting immediately signals "Loyalist estate ahead - find alternative route".
