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.
I’m sure there is a significant minority of right leaning people there. I’m pretty sure Simon Evans has spoken about living there.
