If one was to ‘find’ some spray paint how might one amusingly deface a St George’s Cross (hypothetically ofc)

Just as the title says really. We’ve thought of a game of noughts and crosses but figured you Vipers might have a good idea of some other visual effects that could be added. TIA

You are being unreasonable = stop
spoiling the knuckledraggers fun

you are not being unreasonable = crack on gals!

What is nothing to do with dickheads painting red crosses?

Your post isn't clear.

If you would like to make a stand against widespread riots, unrest and violence against immigrants (and people caught up in it), can I make a suggestion:

1. Have a conversation with some of the people who are frustrated about immigration, purely to understand their concerns directly;

2. See if any of those concerns overlap with any of your own interests (I'm sure there must be something - faster deportations for criminals perhaps, so people have more trust in the system?)

3. Advocate for policies that secure those shared interests through the legal and parliamentary systems, so that people don't feel the need for extra-legal "solutions"

Immigrants are NOT any safer in a society which is in the middle of a physically-violent revolution, but that is the direction of travel if the immigration system isn't controlled through the rule of law. I really urge anyone reading this to not see this as "sides" with "cares about immigrant humans" on one side and "wants to control immigration" on another.

It's been the English flag since the Middle Ages. It doesn't belong to the Far Right and never has. It's flown at all major international sports events including rugby and football. It's time to wrench it off the far right and take it back, not kowtow to a minority of knuckle daggers.

I bow down to thee. You win. I give up. Deface the St Georges Cross all you like. In fact, just ban it altogether save a whole lot of fucking hassle and division.

How though??!

🙄

Thanks fuck we are not North Koreans or worse still...Americans FFS

It's not a case of what it's currently being used to, more a question of why should normal English people abandon their flag because of a minority of knuckle dragging morons? It's England's flag, it has been since the Middle Ages. It's flown with pride during international sports events such as rugby. If the far right want their own flag, they are welcome to create their own because the flag of St George doesn't belong to them and never has. The best thing to do with these idiots is to ignore them, they'll get bored and move on to something else that they can shout mindless nonsense about.

Nigel loves me,

(To the tune of Jesus loves me)

Exactly this! Then they'll be scratching their heads when Farage gets into No.10 wondering: 'How on earth did that happen!?' 🤔

I am English. I am British. I am European (despite the Brexit vote).

That’s my flag. I am disgusted with how other people in this country have hijacked my flag. What should be a symbol of national pride for all is used to taunt, harass, bully and abuse.

Making jokes about it will not make it better. Nor will daubing graffiti and slogans on the English flag, even well meaning, anti Farage ones.

I despair.

When there's some very clever but very unsavoury people carefully manipulating the mood of a nation then, yes, it doesn't mean it's racist. It means a racist group has spotted the unsettled nature of the nation and is stirring to gain support from people who can only see that issue

Not everyone flying flags is saying "take our country back"

Carefully manipulating the "normal people" on one issue until they don't see that they're supporting something they don't approve of any more is exactly how extremists work. It's a bit naive to think people can notice they are being manipulated

The fact we don't use the Union Jack (and yes, that's perfectly acceptable even if not at sea) for England any more is because of the devolved nations pushing for their own recognition ad individuals. The Union Jack isn't the flag of England, it's the flag of the UK. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have their own flags which they like to be recognised too

I appreciated your razor sharp comment @WhereIsMyJumper.

This really is sanctimonious tedium.

Pentangle?

The England flag is seen as racist because the people flying them are massive racists who are using them purely to be racist and intimate immigrants! Obviously

Take them down wearing a fake council lanyard, and tell anyone who challenges you, you work for the council and have been ordered to remove them on threat of dismissal, so the council get all the backlash, it's what happened here 😂 It genuinely wasn't the council, I know this for a fact via work, but everyone hates the council's new bin regime so happy to jump on the we all hate the council bandwagon. It's been surprisingly unifying, social media is going wild

Pentagons hold spiritual significance for several cultures, often representing harmony, unity and the interconnectedness of things.

It has been the symbol of England for over 600 years.

I would cover it up with a big red heart. Maybe write "Choose love" on it.

X and o game

With 4 boxes?

Palestine didn’t exist then. St George was a Roman soldier, who was born, lived and died in parts of the Roman Empire.
It dies no one any good to impose modern geography and politics onto the ancient world.

Helena waiting. Just in case it isn’t clear: I’m agreeing with you.
