What we have are culture war snowflakes who disapprove of anything they do not like creating scenarios like the following.

This removal of an anti-racist flag from a Brighton exhibition has sparked concern among organisers and visitors, who were told only that there was a “risk” associated with keeping the artwork on display. While officials offered little detail about the nature or origin of the threat, the decision has prompted broader questions about the climate surrounding public expressions of solidarity and inclusivity.
The caution is not without precedent. Earlier this year, a council worker in Manchester was attacked by a passer-by who mistakenly believed he was taking down an England flag. The incident highlighted how symbolic displays have become flashpoints for individuals seeking to police the meaning of national or cultural emblems.
In recent years, some far-right commentators have also been known to destroy Pride flags and express hostility toward displays they perceive as challenging their preferred symbols. Although there is no indication that such groups were involved in the Brighton case, the atmosphere of heightened sensitivity has created a setting in which institutions may choose to err on the side of withdrawal rather than confrontation.
For now, organisers say they hope to reinstate the flag once they can be assured it will remain safe—though many fear the episode reflects a growing pressure on public spaces that aim to celebrate diversity and resist discrimination.
Then there’s Lorna, who appears to have fallen out of Nigel Farage and Rupert Lowe’s arses.

The best response to Lorna, amongst a great many:
Lorna, like many elderly racists (looking at you Mr Farage), spouts utter bullshit like its gospel. Far too thick to admit she's misinformed, and idiots like her are able to vote in elections and help decide who should run our government for 5 years. https://t.co/BfNE6FdBT4

If we think the UK is bad now, wait until four years’ time when, like the USA, these brain-diseased morons will be running the country.
