Neighbour has put up huge Unite the Kingdom flag

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

Fair enough, and Simon Danczuk was no shining star.

Haven't rtft but in case noone has linked this yet you might be interested.....

He didn't; he resigned because Labour lost the election. And that wasn't mainly because of Gillian Duffy. It was mainly because of the economic crisis. In fact, Rochdale was one of the only two seats that Labour GAINED in 2010, admittedly from the LibDems rather than the Tories, and Simon Danczuk wasn't the most shining example ever of a Labour MP, but still one can't blame the Rochdale incident for Cameron.

This is just a load of rubbish. If it didn’t mean anything and was so jolly, why is everyone up in arms when anyone suggests taking these flags down? They invariably look bad, flapping about at half mast, and they are intended to make people feel unwelcome. Just admit it and be done. I’d hate to have one visible from my house - there is still half of the country who don’t want this. What about our views?

I haven't shouted or screamed.

I don’t know anyone who would give him the time of day. He’s a laughing stock.

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.

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

I don’t need to co-opt a nations flag to make my point about immigration. If I did though, it would be a union flag with REFUGEES ARE WELCOME HERE in big capital letters.

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

Well I don’t know him personally. I should have said his followers have changed. You can shout and scream they’re all racists as much as you like, however the facts are his followers now are mainstream on the whole. Families just ordinary people who understandably have concerns over mass immigration (which btw is a GCSE geography topic looking at the negatives). Before someone bands about RACISM again 🙄

It gets to me and I'm white British. The owner of the flag is displaying their allegiance to an anti-immigration campaign by a known racist (and proper dodgy as fuck criminal).

@ToWhitToWhoo disagree. Watch a recent interview he did with Triggernometry on youtube. It changed my views.

Oh they do have names for these people but I won't repeat them. This is where the liberals expose their own racism.

I wouldn’t move to such a place. I wouldn’t even view the house if the area was covered in flags.

'I didn't say Any brown face will do, that was another poster.' Yes just clocked that.

However, PP wrote 'Because usually those that fly those flags don't stop at discriminating against just illegal refugees. Any brown face will do.'

I responded: 'You have zero evidence for that.'

You then came flying in to say: 'I take it you didnt follow the racist riots in NI earlier this year. All immigrants in the areas effected were targeted. As well as a leisure centre sheltering those driven from their homes.'

So what was the relevance of your response? I was pointing out PP had no evidence to suggest people who fly flags were targeting others for the colour of their skin. Your reply actually proved my point!

'So you know of racist violence by flag shaggers.' Eh?

'It wasn't just brown people. I don't see how that makes it less racist.' Because it was about immigration status not race. Call it 'illegal immigrant Xenophobia' and 'anger at violence towards citizens' if we are going to be accurate about the causes of these riots.

AAAAND it's still a fact that nobody can prove anyone who flies a Union Flag is an automatic racist or 'flag shagger.' These are just ignorant assumptions.

I also find it quite hilarious that the majority of people I see using the term 'flag shagger' are often shagging every flag going except those of the UK!

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

@CountFucula everyone will have their own reasons. It's ridiculous to think that every person has the same perspective. I'm speaking from my experience, it's surely not hard to comprehend that we all have our own opinions. You're coming across as someone with an us vs them attitude, which is the issue you seem to be against? Good, law abiding people, SHOULD be against anyone, of any background, who harms others.
My perspective is, the OP shouldn't feel threatened, but I don't know their area or experiences. They'd maybe agree too, that we should be proud of living here and against anyone who comes and is a potential harm because of a clash of cultures.

He’s a massive racist.

Sadly that little tosspot has co-opted the Union flag. Try looking at it this way; Unite the Kingdom is a bloody stupid slogan for them to use, after all it implies that we should all be supporting each other! I am trying to think of a way we could spread that interpretation and make TR and his merry band of wankers look even more idiotic than they usually do.

Unite Our Kingdom in Friendship and Kindness to All.

Kemi Badenoch was standing next to a Union Jack flag at the Tory Conference, does that mean she is now classed as a racist. Anyone who votes Tory are they now classed as racist by association.

Not really much of a stretch. If I were house hunting and the area was awash with England flags at the moment, I would even bother going. I can’t be the only one who thinks that.

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!'

Not just them, I didn’t know that either. I haven’t been living under a rock, and I’m well aware of Yaxley-Lennon and his behaviour, I’ve seen all the flag nonsense etc. I hadn’t heard of Unite the Kingdom. It’s a bizarre tag line and meaningless, but there we are then.
