Patriotism

[Exiled In Surrey]

A flag should be about pride. About unity. About celebrating who we are.That’s not what’s happening right now. These England flags going up everywhere?That’s not patriotism. That’s marking territory. That’s sending a message.And the message is ugly: “This is ours. You don’t belong here.”That isn’t pride. That’s fear. That’s exclusion. That’s racism dressed up as tradition.Real patriotism doesn’t slam the door in someone’s face. Real patriotism says: we are strong enough, proud enough, confident enough to welcome others in. To share our values — values of fairness, decency, tolerance — the values that have always made Britain worth being proud of.When you turn the flag into a weapon, you betray it. You betray our history. You betray the very idea of Britain.Because the truth is this: our flag should say we belong together. Not you stay out.

Those far left nitwits singing The Red fFag didn't sing the last verse:

The working class can kiss my arse,
I've got the foreman's job at last

in the US, burning the American flag has become a trendy symbol of free speech that should be protected, according to the protestor class and rent-a-crowd.

The same crowd, however, would happily lynch anyone who dares burn the Rainbow Pride flag and the authorities may consider charging you with a hate crime for doing so.

Yes, when I was in NI.

But Small Heath in Birmingham which, when I was there earlier in the year, had a big van with a Palestinian flag parked marking the entrance to the area and Palestine flags from lamp posts, shop windows etc would be ok for you?

Seen similar in parts of Tower Hamlets. Even Uxbridge road in Shepherd’s Bush has shop fronts painted in Palestinian flags and Palestinian stickers on all the street furniture. Outside my kids schools there are stickers with “fuck Farage” over nearly every lamp post. But it’s the English flags that have prompted you to speak up?

There were plenty of Ukrainian flags flying in the UK three and a half years ago,didn’t seem to be much fuss either.

Flags have been a virtue signal of choice for lefties for ever. For most people they represent their home culture. 

It's a bit rich for Labour to stop us flying St George's and Union flags. Their own fucking theme song is all about a flag.

A song and flying flag a aren't the same thing you retard.  

 

 

I understand you're still feeling hurt by your recent mauling over Roman rabbits, but the Labour song literally is a celebration of flying a flag. More fishing?

Are you OK, Hun?

[Mike Oxsaw]

Yes, when I was in NI.

What did those flags threaten to do to you?

[Eerie Decent]

That's because you're a proper wafty minge.

Has anyone actually felt threatened by a host nation's flag when they were living and/or working outside the UK?

Nope. Not even the Chelsea blue flag in relation to a host Football  Club, although I do on occasions kindly remind them where they can also stick it instead.

The most laughable part of all this taking down of our Flags is the sheer hypocrisy of Labour when attending Conference every year they proudly sing: 

Then raise the scarlet standard high 
Beneath its shade we'll live and die 
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
We'll keep the red flag flying here  

Quite ironic really. Do as I say, not do as I do eh Labourite Lefties...

Quite. They love a hammer a sickle, red, rainbow, Ukraine and Palestinian to name a few.

On a sensible note if you want this government out keep up the demos,vote them out on every by-election 
Unfortunately they have such a large majority that in reality we are stuck with them for 4 more years 

[XKhammer]

There is not an honest person here that would defend Starmer and his Gov’t.

What is going on is beyond belief. Not much longer now before it really starts to get ugly. At what point does this Gov’t fall? What will it take, a national strike?

This can’t go on for another 4 years, surely.

For once I agree with you; they have been an utter shambles so far.
I think they will cling on to the bitter end though with that massive parliamentary majority.

Want them out?

Quickest way is to fuck their cash flow. Move off PAYE and onto annual self-assessment, Get the petrol tanker drivers out on strike again, claim back VAT on anything and everything - overwhelm them with demands on the services they're legally obliged to deliver.

Ha ha you're insane

Seen some roundabouts with red crosses in my neck of the woods.  All a bit sad really if you've got time to go around doing that sort of thing.

Almost as sad as local authorities, using tax payers money, to paint zebra crossings, in rainbow colours.

Yeah those places like Venice, Florence and Rome with all their renaissance 14th and 15th century art is rubbish as are those horrible Alps and beaches. Don't get me started on that shit music by Puccini and Vivaldi or the crap food. They have nothing to compare with us. 

And also of course those slim but voluptuous raven haired olive skinned woman. Give me a pasty fat ginger English bird any day. 

My wife is Italian (Ravello) and ginger.... 

My ex-wife is Irish and ginger although she swears to this day that her hair is strawberry blonde.
