To think this takes top place as the most tacky 'flag' example?!!

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

What do you make of this house?

I think there needs to be a separate board now called ‘Flag Talk’.

I suggested this on another thread

The photo in the OP reminds me of when the England men's footy team made it to the final of the Euros. A couple of houses near the school where I taught were like this. It seemed very OTT but I didn't see it as racist or thick. I would if they did it now, though.

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.

Well there's also this

Someone loudly and proudly identifying themselves as an ignorant yob there. At least they are letting others know.

Poor neighbours.

Awful. Shouldn’t be allowed.

The types going nuts with flags right now are the same sorry who would paint their house this way. I thought most people noticed when folks have flags up, in windows or on poles on their property etc. People have been flying this for years, with the same shitty opinions and hate. It's just ramped uo at the mo.

Show quote history

But not everyone who's flown it, etc, is a racist prick so I'm just not going to make that assumption. It also just feeds into the power they think the flag has - it's all a bit 'he who shall not be named'.

Also cannot find anything else for that photo so could be AI for all we know

If it's on Google maps then presumably it isn't part of the current nonsense? Assuming no ill intention then I'd just kinda smile & do a 'heh' if I saw it IRL.

Do I like it aesthetically? Nope. But is it fun? Yeah.
