I’m going to write “Refugees Welcome” on an England flag and hang it from the nearest lampost, see what the local “patriots” make of that.

It’s the Daily Echo again. https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/25390838.car-smashes-window-park-gate-estate-agents/ Staff at an estate agents in Park Gate have been left “shaken” after a car smashed through the front of its office on Wednesday afternoon.That’s the estate agent that sold my house last time I moved.
And so it begins. I haven’t read the article, but he appears to be saying he wouldn’t pass the eye test – if there’s any logic to the headline at all.I think it’s in response to the suggestion that there should be an upper age limit for driving – UK told to introduce maximum driving age limit ‘somewhere in 80s’

AFAIK an upper age limit has never been seriously suggested in the UK, and I’m not aware of any other country that has one – although medical tests for older drivers are quite common.

Customers described their cars suddenly accelerating or braking hard. Some escaped with a scare; others ended up in ditches, crashing into walls or colliding with oncoming vehicles.
This is turning out to be the UK’s version of the ‘Miracle on the Hudson’…The incident reminded me of another film, but I can’t quite remember the title.
