The trouble is unlike a faceless corporation that are often using the rainbow flag symbol to look good rather than having any particular affinity to the cause, Brighton obviously has quite a large LGBTQ+ contingent amongst its fan base, so it comes across as attacking that community in this instance. Which I don’t think the intent of the cheap joke was.
Brighton is the liberal capital of the UK. This is a part of the country that has reelected a Green MP, has a Corbynite Labour MP in another Brighton seat and the Greens run the unitary authority.
The city probably could count the amount of GB News viewers on one hand.
