House viewings - neighbour refuses to take down flag - Update

KayleighhMum · 27/08/2025 16:36

Hi all, as a follow up to the previously full thread.

DH spoke to our neighbour again this morning and explained the feedback we received from the first viewings yesterday and that the couple who liked it were put off bidding by the flag.

Our neighbour seemed to understand and said he’d be taking the flag down anyway as the weather is turning.

However, I’ve got home from work to find the flag is still up and he’s also erected a ‘Vote Reform’ banner with Nigel Farage doing a thumbs up pose. So he is clearly taking the piss at this point.

Our estate agent even said to us about having a word so I’ve no idea where we go from here.

I have a feeling you're being deeply sarcastic. Well played. 😁

It's not racism. It's being concerned for my country. Are country.

Vote Reform and Nigel will sort it all out. No more undesirables in Britain. And that won't be because they've all gone to grift on the US lecture circuit. No sirreee.

Let's all make fun of working class people without teeth who can't spell!

It's hilarious darling! These people don't even have Miele appliances!

When the bien pensant are in meltdown when a populist government is elected in 2029 historians should be pointed to this thread to understand why it might have happened. The REVELS (Rich Enough to even Vote Liebour) will be in meltdown and packing their bags for Dubai PDQ!

You can't even mock someones lack of teeth these days.

It's political correctness gone mad, I tell you

coerce: persuade (an unwilling person) to do something by using force or threats

Please tell me how OP or her DH has been using force or threats?

So far OP & her DH seem to have popped round and asked. How is that coercion?

i can’t believe so many posters are saying that the Op should bluff. He will call it. And then the OP will have to shuffle off red faced.

I would be tempted to advise them that if you cant sell you have been told about a scheme to sell to the council to use for short term housing of x,y,z -

I wouldn’t actually do this but the thought of their faces when they worry about the people they protest against moving next door would bring me some satisfaction - sounds like an awful situation op!

That’s brilliant!

Looks like Nigels fan club have arrived on the thread 🙄

You don't know that !

They could be Question Time fans.

whatasillygoose · 27/08/2025 18:00

@KayleighhMum you can’t go anywhere from here with this neighbour. You were told what would happen and spoke with him again anyway.

Maybe you’ll need to think about selling to a house buying company or a developer now.

SerendipityJane · 27/08/2025 17:59

Unfortunately, you can't tell people what to do on their own properties.

I would really really really hope you can. Or are we looking to bring back wife beating (as if it ever went away) ?

Way too much kool aid.

Elle771 · 27/08/2025 17:45

Maybe this is the answer... long term all the racists can/will only be able to buy/rent together and the non racists can/will only buy/rent together and then they can all live in their own little olde England bubble where everything is fine and Dandy (haha!) And leave the rest of us to it without having bloody farage shoved down our throats all the time

😂 LMFAO!

This. ^ At this point, I would be doing exactly the same if I was the neighbour.

I can't believe that @KayleighhMum has gone and started a second thread about this. 😂 You need to get a hobby OP! 😬

I'm sorry you are having this problem. You asked him to remove the flags, and he doubled down. Unfortunately, you can't tell people what to do on their own properties. If you can't sell to a family you'll have to sell ot to an investor. I have an HMO next to me. It's all single men smoking wacky backy all day long. Maybe the secondhand smoke will make your neighbour less of a dick.

I wouldn't be surprised if Farage gets in. Racism and hate are big motivators for a lot of people. Unfortunately, these things tend to have unexpected repercussions. Look at brexit for example the UK will be £311bn worse off by 2035 due to leaving the EU.

Was that an unexpected repercussion?

Rosybud88 · 27/08/2025 17:54

Not helpful to you of course, but your neighbour is bloody hilarious!
