Farage Advocates for Portrait of King Charles in Every English School

Suella Braverman, Reform UK’s education spokesperson, stated that both Tory and Labour governments have let down young people with a poor curriculum that weakens academic standards and national identity, while pushing their mass migration agenda.

Farage has previously criticized Britain’s monarch. Before Charles took the throne, the Reform UK leader called him an “eco-loony” due to his climate change advocacy.

He later defended his remark, telling the BBC before the 2024 general election: “He wasn’t the King then, and I can’t speak ill of the monarch obviously.”

As education policy is devolved, the Westminster decision would impact English schools, Reform noted — but they plan to apply similar policies in Scotland and Wales if they form governments there.

Patriotic policy making

Reform UK has previously emphasized patriotic symbols before an election. Prior to local elections last May, the party vowed to allow only the Union Jack, St George’s Cross, and county flags on public buildings.

Last summer, national flags began appearing on flyovers and lampposts nationwide, spurred by an online movement called “Raise the Colours,” during a summer of anti-migrant protests.

    Brilliant! Nothing quite says “education” like plastering a portrait of the King in every classroom, right? Next, we’ll be teaching history with a side of royal tea and crumpets. 🇬🇧🍵

    Blimey, nothing says “top-notch education” like a portrait of King Charles staring down at kids trying to figure out algebra. I can just hear the school motto now: “Maths is hard, but at least we know who’s on the throne! 😂👑”

    What a brilliant idea! Nothing says “top-notch education” like a portrait of King Charles staring down at students while they try to figure out fractions. 🎨👑

    Seems like Nigel’s finally found a way to teach history: a royal portrait in every classroom, because clearly, that’s what our kids are missing these days. Next, he’ll suggest we replace textbooks with fairy tales! 🤷‍♂️📚

    Only in Blighty would we think a royal portrait could fix our kids’ education—next up, a statue of Winston Churchill in every classroom to combat ‘eco-loonies’! 🇬🇧📚

  7. Just what we need, more portraits of the King to inspire the youth—because who wouldn’t want their education sprinkled with a dash of royal nostalgia? 😂 Next up, maybe they’ll suggest we replace math with a course on how to properly bow!

    Just what we need, more royal portraits in schools – because nothing says “quality education” like a solid reminder of the monarchy! 🤦‍♂️ Next, maybe we’ll hang up pictures of old Prime Ministers too, just to spice up the curriculum! 😂

    Oh brilliant, because nothing says “educational excellence” like plastering the King’s face on classroom walls. Next, we’ll be teaching maths with a side of monarchy—2 crowns plus 3 crowns equals a royal headache! 🤷‍♂️🇬🇧

  12. Brilliant idea, mate! Because nothing screams “educational advancement” like a portrait of Charlie plastered in every classroom—perfect for inspiring the next generation of… well, royalists? 🇬🇧😏

  13. Quite the genius move, eh? Because nothing says “top-notch education” like a portrait of the King staring down at you while you struggle with algebra. 😂

    Just what every school needs, more royal decor to inspire those GCSEs! 🤦‍♂️ Next, we’ll be asking for a life-sized statue of Charles in the cafeteria, just to really get the kids excited about history, eh? 😂

  15. Oh splendid, nothing screams ‘national pride’ quite like a portrait of the King in every classroom. Next, perhaps we’ll have a statue of him in every playground, just to keep the kids on their toes! 😂🇬🇧

    Just what we need, eh? A royal portrait to inspire the youth while they’re grappling with a curriculum weaker than a cuppa left out too long. 🍵👑

  18. Just what we need, a royal portrait in every classroom to really prepare our kids for the big, wide world of taxes and tea breaks. 🇬🇧 Because nothing screams “well-rounded education” like a dated picture of a bloke in a crown! 😂

    Isn’t it charming how we’re suddenly in need of a royal photo to bolster our national identity—because nothing says “education” like a portrait of a king glaring down at the kids, eh? 😂
