Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Put up Welsh, Scottish, and Northern Irish flags?
They're not "foreign" and yet, they are. They may just melt on the spot through inability to comprehend whether they're for or against it.
Or make flags for increasingly specific locations? Flag of Britain, flag of England, flag of county, flag of city, flag of burgh, flag of street, flag of lamp post, flag of flag.
