Neighbour has put up huge Unite the Kingdom flag

I’d say for now the flags are flying in areas where the house prices are not high anyway.

If you haven't listened to what he has to say, any negative comments you make about him are totally meaningless.

This is the current problem with the Left. Rather than engaging with people, listening to their concerns, and making a counter argument if you disagree, you prefer to just insult people.

Calling the majority of people in this country racists and transphobes is not a strategy that has worked out well for the left in the past (Brexit and President Trump) and is exactly the attitude that will end up with Prime Minister Farage.

Your post makes no sense. You cannot hold far right racist views and not be far right racist.

@UrticaDioca if you are that offended by the flag of the country you live in, perhaps its time to move somewhere where you do respect the country's flag.

well it is well known as the slogan of the march organised by TR

I keep seeing this 'flags reduce purchase prices' argument but there is absolutely no statistical evidence to support this. Many towns have flags all over the place.

In the past perhaps the person flying it usually was. And only because we've laboured under a couple of generations of being told that our flag is an embarrassment and to celebrate it is to celebrate slavery and oppression under the empire, etc, etc. And most Brits just like to lie low and not make a loud fuss about anything much, so they kept their patriotism largely un-performative.

Now it's not 'usual' for a flag flyer to be far right at all. Just because people who are far right and racist might align with a particular cause of point of view should not detract from the simple fact that others who share that view are not far right or racist.

After all, Hitler was a vegetarian....

This is something that should be obvious and common sense and yet, it seems to go entirely over the heads of so many people who like to see themselves as more intelligent than the average 'gammon' on the street.

Wishful thinking. If there’s flags hanging in your area drop the price significantly or be prepared to wait a long time before you sell. No one decent wants to be living around that.

He's still racist.

I’d rather stick pins in my eyes than listen to him speak.

The flag is not racist. The person flying it usually is.

It's not impossible to be both Asian and hard-right. Ben Habib, for example.

It's Tommy Robinson and his lot who don't respect our flag. Using it to incite racism and disunity.

The other man holding up the flag with TR is Asian…..

No not really. People change TR is mainstream now I agree 20 plus years ago he could be considered racist.

Why are you gutted? He’s showing his love for his country and his flag.

I'll repost this picture of Tommy Robinson with his United the Kingdom flag because it looks like it needs pointing out again that he was deliberately posing with a number 88 bus because '88' is a racist's code for 'Heil Hitler'. Something that Tommy Robinson would be well aware of.

He hasn't changed in the slightest.

The flags have only been up for a matter of weeks, so it’s too early to say whether they have any influence on decisions to view. I am planning to move in the next two years and have already discounted numerous towns and villages from my search.

I'd be tempted to put up a Union flag of my own, together with a poster saying 'Unite the kingdom against the far right. Reclaim our flag!'

TLDR: The flags are a stand against the illegal immigrants, the ones who endanger others. See screenshot. Not the guy who runs the takeaway, not the woman who married a British guy and raised a family here etc. It's to put a stop to people like the one in the screenshot... Then getting away with it because 'he didn't know he shouldn't rape children.'

I have Polish and Ukrainian neighbours who have Union Jack and/or St. George flags on display.

I've became friends with the Polish woman and as the conversation went, she's against the illegal immigrants. She doesn't feel threatened by the flags, she loves them. She feels, as many others do, that it's unfair that she, a hard working, came here legally, woman, is being made uncomfortable by random men who seemed to have just turned up from nowhere.
The men, who have no ID, who stare at her young teenage daughters as they pass. The men who, if they ever did anything sinister, would probably be nameless and faceless to ever bring to justice. I'm with her, she's with the many, many others who feel the same. It's not about a divide of England VS The Rest Of The World.

It's British people who were born here, who earned the right to move here, who don't want to feel threatened in a place we call home, against men who don't know or care about our culture. The illegal man who hurt two girls here, stating he didn't know he couldn't do that!! That's who the flag is against. Not anyone who is here to fit in or atleast, do no harm and who pay tax etc.

So no. The flying of flags, atleast around here, are not all from racists. It's not about skin colour. It's 100% about behaviour. In my small town, it was mainly whites as I grew up. Now, we have many Turkish (takeaways and barbers, always busy businesses,) blacks (they have many white friends in the schools and are often seen in work uniforms) Indian, Chinese, Thai... There's never an issue with them. But there is an issue when men who no one knows, or have seen before, start following women. It's caught on video and camera.

For years some properties have taken ages to sell so I disagree with you.

No idea who Tommy Robinson is.

Wow!

Personally I like to keep up with what's going on in the world..

OP, I'm sorry you're going through this. I too would be horrified if I had to look at that shite all day. Sending strength.
