Whaaattt?
The current UK govt insist they will still work towards/support the recreation of a Palestinian state. About as likely in the forseeable future as Trump being awarded his Nobel Peace prize.

Am i understanding this correctly ?
It didn't strike me that way at all. Just someone asking for advice, concerned about doing the wrong thing for their plants. In my book that is being sensitive to a plant's needs.

Phormium which one
Phormiums can suffer in cold, wet winters, especially if you have clay soil. I thought of Yucca as an alternative too. They have an upright, less arching habit so might suit you better.
