AIBU to think our neighbour is an arse?

[GreatGretzky]

We put a union flag up in the window yesterday to celebrate the Jubilee. Today I bumped into our neighbour where we had the following conversation...

Him: I don't like your flag.
Me: Oh. Sorry. It's just up for the Jubilee so it'll come down in a few days.
Him: People will think this is a BNP street.
Me: I'm sure they won't, everyone knows it's Jubilee weekend...
Him: Well I think it makes you look like BNP supporters. It's disgraceful. I don't want to look at it.

He's made me a little bit worried now that people will think that! AIBU to leave the flag up and think he's being a bit of an arse?

[StealthPolarBear]

What planet.does he live on?

[scuzy]

whats BNP?

[FamiliesShareGerms]

No, he's being an arse.

Mind you, our be-flagged street does look as if we are in east Belfast...

[Ratbagcatbag]

He's being an arse :) I'm sure there aren't lots of new BNP supporters around but there are loads of flags. I like to see it. I would get. Then for your carand everything though now.

[WorraLiberty]

Is he completely blind or has he just not left his house for an entire week?

There are Union Flags everywhere....on houses, cars, pubs, restaurants, shops and people.

[CecilyP]

No, because he is an arse. It's the jubiliee weekend; loads of people, who wouldn't normally, have flags out.

[comedycentral]

He's being an arse, watching TV must be so scary for him at the moment...all those BNP members waving flags!

[susiedaisy]

YANBU he's an arse keep the flag up now out of principal

[FamiliesShareGerms]

British National Party, scuzy. aka rascists

[HecateTrivia]

Yes. He's being a tit.

[Ratbagcatbag]

Hate iPad at times :) get them for your car and everything.........

[PandaWatch]

If I were you I'd go out now and find all the union flags you can and cover your house in them. For the rest of the year.

What a horrible man.

[Noqontrol]

He's an arse. Keep the flag and add to it, one in every window.

[Akermanis]

I think the British National Party do prefer the British Flag tbh.

OP, your neighbour is a loon

[GreatGretzky]

Maybe I should send DH down the shops tomorrow to see if he can find some cheap bunting we could use as well

[cuttingpicassostoenails]

What business is it of his what you hang in your window?

[Purple2012]

He is being ridiculous. I got hubby. Flagpole and he has the England flag flying most of the time but today we changed it to the union flag in honour of the jubilee. It's about time normal, non racist people took back the right to fly the flag whenever we want and not let the bigoted rackets take it over.

[Dprince]

He is a twunt. Leave it up at least another week. :)

[PandaWatch]

I really hate this attitude. It's not too far away from the morons who think anyone in traditional muslim dress is a potential terrorist. The BNP are a very small minority. If more people displayed the flag for the positive reasons they have been over the Jubilee all the time the negative connotations would fall away.

[youarekidding]

what a complete fanny. Does he think most of Britain suddenly supports the BNP.

He'll be relieved Wednesday then when he thinks they have all come to their senses.

Oh until Euro 2012 and the olympics.

[OldGreyWiffleTest]

He's a twat - I'd leave it up for at least 2 weeks now !

[Ambrosius]

Any other weekend I'd be agreeing with him, but its the jubilee! A lot of (not racist) people have union flags out.
