So what’s going on with all these flags around ?

I hadn’t really noticed it until I went to see a friend who lives 30 minutes away and the flags were everywhere there but not in my area.

Then today I saw someone with a Union Jack flag hanging from their car window, like is usually done during the World Cup.

whats going on ? I have seen a few posts on social media it, but not really explaining what’s happening and why people are putting flags up all over the place.

And now you're comparing someone innocently putting up a flag during racist flag season with Charlie Kirk? Confused

Sadly it is racism and fascism.

Have you been out of the country? It’s been all over the news for weeks and there are multiple threads on MN about this already. Some people will tell you it’s for national pride, some will tell you it’s racist. No one will agree.

It's could be either, depending on the person, ofc, or even both.

I'm fed up w racists coopting our wonderful flag tho. When I was 7 in 2012 we had the Diamond Jubilee & lots of flags for happy reasons. I'd like to get our old flag out from then & but w some kind of symbol to show it's not to support racism. Not sure what....

So flags showing your sexual preference or deviance is fine, but your country's flag isn't.

I was just thinking that

Nope currently it isn’t because it’s been adopted by bored football hooligans. It was of course adopted by them when they stuck to football hooliganism too but unfortunately they seem to have branched out into politics.

Luckily football season is starting so they’ll hopefully shut themselves back in the pub soon
