What is going with the flag being painted everywhere?

What have I missed?? Why?

Frothing Nationalists.

Operation raise your colours. It’s wonderful. ❤️

Thinly disguised racism as far as I can tell

Oh not another thread about this?! Another one to hide!

Operation Raise Your Colours is linked to Britain First and the EDL. Make of that what you will.

I agree that it’s thinly disguised racism.

I haven’t seen any threads about this. But I did see lots of flags hanging over the motorway yesterday. It made me feel very uncomfortable.

Agreed

Ugh. Typical

Maybe have a google OP or search the topics!

we’ve had enough of these over the last few days to fill the board! 😤

Not another thread about this! It’s been done to death already on here.! For goodness sake do a search before rehashing old news.

You know the have the option to NOT click on the post right? I’m not holding a knife demanding you do

Had to laugh at these numpties though:

Have you been asleep for the past week or do @Soubriquet or on a retreat with no access to Internet, radio, tv or newspapers? 🤣

That is the first time I have seen my flag associated with the raise your colours shit. I hope it is the last. It probably will be as very few people in Wales seem to be allowing themselves to be manipulated by the racist filth behind this movement.

There have been vandals spray painting red crosses on white walls or roundabouts in some areas as well. People who - allegedly - are concerned about a lack of respect for the laws of our society and costs to taxpayers, behaving illegally and causing deliberate damage public property that taxpayers will have to pay to repair.

They seem oblivious to their hypocrisy, just like when it was ascertained that over 40% of the rioters arrested last summer were already known to the police with a history of domestic violence and yet they claimed they were “protesting” due to concern for the safety of women and girls. Laughable.

Some people have no shame and their absurd pretence of some kind of moral high ground as a cover for their racism is fooling nobody.

I don’t watch live tv and I generally don’t pay attention to the news but I noticed on fb that this was happening which is why I asked

What do you think of the flags?

It's to scare away the "boat people" apparently 🙄

One numpty painted the English flag on a roundabout in Llandudno!
I assume the Welsh dragon rendering took a little more artistic skill!

Someone did the same in Swansea.

So it’s not an outpouring of support for the Women’s Rugby World Cup?

How do people live in such ignorance?
