Neighbour has put up huge Unite the Kingdom flag

Gullible?

Anyway I thought it was 3million. Tommy’s still insisting it was last time I checked and he wouldn’t lie, I’m sure.

I think you will find that your DC (like my DC who are mixed race) have British passports.

It's clearly showing support for racist thug Tommy Robinson.

Muslims can be racist too you know

Erm, no, and no.

The neighbour is clearly not guilty of an offence under the act, and those arrested were supporting a proscribed terrorist organisation.

Really….

It’s only a Union Jack flag. The flag of the country people live in. It’s not personal. Loads of people in other countries fly flags.

I can see why people have issues with flags. But to other the Union Jack is to give the people who use it nefariously, ownership of the countries’ flag. That’s wrong. They don’t own our flag or our country. We’re all better than them. If people use it as normal - then it becomes just a flag. Like all the other flags.

For those who think it’s ’just A flag’ must be living under a rock as it’s become the face of fascism at this point in time. You can disagree and be objective

No, they don't. Many immigrants went on the Unite the Kingdom march (and my own step-grandson who is no racist). Many want to stop illegal immigration and to have rules enforced about legal immigration. It's not racist to think that immigration should be controlled and to the use of the host country.

Oh absolutely! I would wager that if the house next door became an HMO, housing 10 foreign men, that the horse blinkers might start to slip.

The OP is clearly not going to do that.

As others have asserted - the neighbour is clearly a racist and must be shunned…

YANBU @UrticaDioca.😧

Even if you decided to move, racist flags lower house prices.😕

Sadly, pirates are not nice people - though the eighteenth century ones were models of democratic rule in their ships: to be captain you had to obtain the popular vote, and loot was shared equally.

Why does fact the Op thinks her husband is a “standard white bloke” make the descriptor…. Less Odd

Nothing you can do about it I’m afraid. Just give that neighbour a very wide berth.

1984

So you object to the flag of the country some of your co-nationalists fought and gave their lives for during WWII?

Well, there are lots of people in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales who disagree with that sentiment.

You can get arrested for owning or displaying a British flag?! What have we come to???

Its tommy Robinsons campaign slogan. So it could not.

I would be very sad and unhappy to see the misogynistic, homophobic, anti-science 'progress' flag up on a neighbour's house. I'd far rather see a Union Flag, thanks. Or a St. George. I think I would be tempted to tie the suffragette colours to my gatepost (had I got one) were I to see that (but I have to be careful, I live in a very woke city, so would hold back - which is one reason I hate the 'progress' flag for it represents forced speech unless one wants to be cancelled, persecuted and shouted down).

I'd probably put my own flag up, a montage of all the flags (alongside British) of all the nationalities that reside in your town/ city/ county. A bit like the Welsh did across that bridge (Flags is it?) We have a house across our road which is flying the George Cross and the Union flag (never have done before, shown no patriotism during important tournaments etc). I'm genuinely thinking of putting my own montage flag up.

They're entitled to their views, apparently. And so are you.

Maybe talk to your neighbour and find out why he's flying the flag and what it means to him. You'd probably find out he's concerned about the historically never before seen levels of immigration, both legal and illegal, we've had over the last five years. It's not racist to be concerned about the impact of this, particularly when you place large groups of young men, from societies with very different attitudes to women, into small communities.

Yes, I've found that it's also handy for labelling racist businesses. There's a cattery near me that I tried to book my cats into before, but it was full. They sounded so nice on the phone that I thought I'd try again next time I'm going away. Then right after the Tommy Robinson march they've put up a massive flagpole with an England flag, no way was that timing a coincidence. My cats will not be going to a racist cattery, so it's back to the further away one.

I presume that business owners assume that as a white woman I won't be bothered, but as someone whose Polish grandparents were both in the Polish army in WW2, I will not give my money to anyone who wants to give their support to the far right.

You say that but its firstly an embarrassment to live next to someone so fecking stupid they revere Tommy dickhead Robinson and secondly, suggests, to a high level of certainty, that they are racist.

It was actually Led by Donkeys who started it - like so many claims on this thread, don't let facts get in the way.
