Clear criminal damage imo.

Imagine the cost of having your car sorted after someone's painted it like that? I'd be bloody livid.

I agree. If someone wants to paint their own property they are free to do so. To paint other people's property without permission should mean that the perpetrator is made to remove their graffiti at their own cost. Sadly the cost and effort of removal is down to councils or the property owner, and not the culprit.

Amazing how history is being rewritten before our very eyes to suit a racist ideology huh…

Show quote history

The new mythology and historical revision of the chattering classes. People actually feel clever when they trot out the Turkey nonsense they swallow unquestioningly from their group. It's all very silly.

Well, let's think about who started all this flag crap.

Who decided we need a flag for LGB pride? Who decided we then needed a trans flag? Who decided we needed to fly the LGBTGI+ flag all down Oxford Street? Who painted zebra crossings and police cars rainbow colours, decided sportsmen had to wear rainbow laces, National Trust guides had to have rainbow lanyards? Who decided Palestinian flags should be flown everywhere?

Its been ramping up for years, why are we surprised that people finally react when they are told that they can fly any flag except their own?

I was just suggesting who the PP might be referring to when she wrote "Turkish Saint". I don't think anything really. I just googled it in an attempt to learn.

Unless he had permission wouldn't paint spraying other people's property be seen as vandalism? From reading the West Yorkshire Police website here I believe that graffiti can attract fines and even imprisonment for the creator.

Turkey didn't exist until 1923. George was a Roman soldier of Greek descent*. It wasn't Palestine, it was the Roman province of Syria Palaestinia, formerly Judea. Wholesale opinions.

*well, one of the candidates for George was at least

Saint George was born in what is now Turkey. His mother was from Palestine.

The region she was born in was Syria. The city was Lod which is now in israel. Palestine wasn’t a country, although you’re welcome to go Google the flag that was used for that region before 1964.
I bet you think Jesus was Palestinian too.

I don't see anything wrong with it - if it's real of course. It's their house, nothing to do with anyone else. I saw a phrase on here a few days ago, buying political opinions wholesale, and it seems we've had the England flag added to that. But at least the OP isn't screaming, crying and throwing up on this thread, there's always a positive when you look for it. Fwiw, I've never been impressed by performative rightthink.

snughugs · 26/08/2025 10:23

I’m Scottish don’t see a problem. Why shouldn’t they? It’s their property. I see Palestine flags and there was plenty Israel flags too in the Protestant part of Belfast when I visited, doesn’t bother me. What’s the fuss? Why are we slagging off working class people? I wouldn’t stick a flag up in my back garden but I quite seeing them. If this makes a few people upset this is frankly ridiculous. I don’t get it you can put out a Pakistani, Palestine, Scottish, America, Irish flag anywhere but use an English one and you might upset brown folk and you’re labelled as a racist. Eh no.

A guy on the street my mum lives on has spray painted a red cross on his house, he’s also done the same on peoples walls, fences and cars.

I like how door paint person didn’t realise England contains a second n, so had to squeeze one in.

Someone local to me has painted their car usong a roller for the red cross. (Not my pic but from a local group). The cross extends to the bonnet and roof also

There’s now a whole slew of posts about dangerous asylum seekers appearing.

Maybe they could all get shunted into Politics?

For those of you who think the flags and roundabout paintings are tacky...

What do you make of this house?

😳😳😳

When is it from?
Were England (men) in any big tournaments at the time?

DiscoBob · 26/08/2025 09:50

I guess if your house was white already, then painting two red lines isn't that wacky. It does look silly but it's not like I'd refuse to buy a house on the same street.

MN has been taken over by threads on flags, Posters are now just searching the internet for random flag pictures for an excuse to post a thread.
