Rip the flags down! A call for action!

Always, we live in a very nice area, which is why I think it was so shocking to my dd.
She actually jumped out the car first, and insisted on ripping them down, which of course I agreed with.
She was really upset, she’s got loads of friends from different ethnicities at university, and she said they are all really worried about recent developments.
Shes back to university next week, but I’ve told her to he really careful about removing flags, and never to be on her own x
Im very proud of her for her disgust for how the flag is being used at the moment x

The sudden appearance of the English flag hung on lamp posts, railings etc has absolutely sickened me, and my dd.
I am proud to be British, but the misappropriation of the flag by thugs, intending to intimidate, is absolutely not acceptable in a diverse society.
So tonight myself and my adult dd ripped them down in our area, and tomorrow we will be going on a flag hunt, to rip down any more we find.
I would strongly urge those of you that feel the same way, to also remove them, as long as you feel safe and comfortable to do it.
Posting in AIBU for traffic.

Just to clarify…I am not looking for validation from complete strangers on the internet.
It was my dd, who is 20, that was insistent we take them down.
I am very proud to be British, but I refuse to let our flag to be used as a method to intimidate people.
SURELY you must all realise there is a concerted effort to try and do this, using our flag?

I hope you've got your rage out of your system if you're working with the public in any capacity.

Your whole post seems anti intellectual. The only degrees worth doing are vocational you say?
And what on earth is the connection with hair dye?

Gin? I hope not. I am off to work a night shift in the next hour! You do realise some folk do not work 9-5 in an office right?

I think the poster you're quoting might be on the gin. Or something.

You're implying one has to go to university to be intellectual.

The definition of intellectual is:

connected with or using a person's ability to think logically and understand things

I'm not anti-university, but I'm anti-agenda which is what a lot of them now push. They're churning out a generation of young people with little life experience, with ultra liberal views. Whether you believe that to be a good thing or not is a matter of opinion, one that clearly is not shared by us.

University is useful for those wanting to study a meaningful degree, engineering, medicine, etc etc.

I oppose however those who attend to study a meaningless degree who then go on to dye their hair green, not practice good personal hygiene, work part time at a supermarket in a role that bears no relevance to their degree and shove their left leaning views down anyone's throat who will give them 30 seconds of their time.

The forever offended clique who will jump on anything to try and pedal their own narrative.

You shouldn't judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, some of the most successful people are not university educated.

Well aren’t you just hilarious.

Lockdown now! National curfew so those oiks cannot go out under the cover of darkness and put up more flags.

Time to lockdown and order your supermarket deliveries. No doubt facilitated by the working classes as per Covid! Time to get back on your Peloton machines and bake banana bread. Full WFH in case you spot a flag on your way to the office!

We should have a Thursday night clap for those who take down the flags! Clap for Kate at number 33. She took down 12 flags last night!
