Neighbour has put up huge Unite the Kingdom flag

Put up your flag if you want to. But not defaced with the slogan of a racist organization. WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO GRASP?

A simple Google search will enlighten you. Even before this bizarre flag fetish it was well known that areas with St George’s flags were significantly cheaper to buy because flags lowered the value of their homes.

Or, much more likely, the majority of the population are not actually racist at all, but are concerned about uncontrolled immigration.

Aye, cause its not a problem if 20% of potential buyers are put off.

Im beginning to see why your properties haven't sold, despite being on the market for such a long time.🙈

Clearly, want to fly a flag on your property? It's a bit odd in the UK, but knock yourself out. Want to display support for TR? Well, that says something else.

Lots of people went on that march including many who are not racist. Many are at the end of their tether what with the history of our country being trashed as wicked, evil, exploitative etc and that our ancestors never, ever did anything good or worthwhile and have contributed nothing to the world. They are also tired of their way of life being denigrated, their politics causing them to be called racist bigots and gammon, and being told their country has no culture (greatest playwright who ever wrote? greatest poet who ever wrote?), and no customs worthy of respect. So quite a lot of people might follow Tommy Robinson and march for a united kingdom, not a community of communities or a land of strangers (Starmer really should read his speeches before he speaks them). A lot are deeply unhappy that many people (mostly the ones who despise the working classes) support a bunch of terrorists who raped, burned, murdered and took hostages and filmed it all to broadcast, on Oct 7th 23, too.

The only conclusion that I can come to is that there are a frankly shockingly large number of posters on here who want to normalise the use of flags displaying racist slogans as "pride in your country". The poll numbers are pretty depressing as well.

Hey, let's listen to Tommy Robinson shall we? Or even just take a look at his twitter account?

What a lovely guy he is that I have had to mark his twitter comment as a sensitive image as it is so horrendously offensive.

This.

I’m not someone who has a flag up, I’m pro immigration and think we should be doing more for refugees. But I would very much like to see a more united UK and don’t object to more patriotism (I like the way it’s done in other countries who have a sense of national pride).

Put up your own flag. Take back the symbol of the flag from racists and it loses its power when migrants and liberals are also proudly displaying it.

Why bother posting if you can't be arsed to read the thread. This has been explained multiple times, as if you didn't already know before posting in any case.

Think you aren’t understanding they want them to unite, which means they embrace everyone.

What's offensive or racist about flying a union jack flag. ??

Is it just me or does “now I have to see this fucking flag” some sort of insinuation that you find the flag insulting? You literally live here? Why the offence?

I believe that is called knowing my own worth.

have You met them? Go and chat to them. I think there’s a risk you’re projecting your own interpretation of a flag onto the matter. I am ignorant to what the message behind the act is, but a flag wanting unity doesn’t equate to racism does it?

It isn’t a racist campaign, it’s a campaign to to remind people to be proud to be British, regardless of colour. I suppose it depends on your understanding of it.

Because of the current massive racist flag flying campaign.

This stuff isn’t difficult to understand.

I prefer the Palestinian flag myself. A country being wiped out while the world is watching.

I am gutted. I haven't seen a single flag in my town, and suddenly this union jack goes up two doors over with the words 'Unite the Kingdom' printed on it in capital letters. The flag is huge and flying from a pole on top of their shed, but it's in their own garden so nothing can be done.

I am the daughter of an immigrant mother and therefore mixed race. Now I have to see this fucking flag waving at me every time I look out of my kitchen or living room windows.
