I took down some flags and DH wasn’t happy

[LittleChopper]

On my commute today, I noticed someone had hung three large St George flags on a bridge coming out of our village. They have been popping up everywhere but this particular instance I thought “I’m not having that”. On the way home I pulled over and took them down.

when I got home and DH asked why I was binning three large flags I told him and he.. had some interesting opinions. He told me I shouldn’t be pissing off people in the village, that they have every right to hang an England flag in England, and that I’m being too political.

For a start, I would argue that I’ve always been quite strongly opinionated so he shouldn’t be surprised I did it.

Just as others have the right to their opinion I have mine. We have people in the village who are migrants… why should they have to look at that. It’s clear why they were hanging there given what’s going on at the moment and I’ve never see a flag hanging in the village in the decade we’ve been here so why else would they be there now.

I’m just so disappointed with it all. With the UK, with DH.

Next time maybe I’ll add to the collection instead. 🇬🇷🇮🇪🇮🇳🇦🇫🇧🇸🇵🇰🇪🇸🇸🇩🇿🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I think we now queue in pubs 🤣.

About ten years ago, in Birmingham.

All of Birmingham?

Holy shit. That’s your takeaway from the long list of problems and issues raised. You have no comment when young girls and women are victimised - you can’t decide who you should feel more sorry for, who ranks higher on the victimhood scale, the migrant or the female 🙄

Nooo. I don’t queue in pubs

I'm not the liar. Hth

What is wrong with you?

You don’t like attention being drawn to the appalling behaviour of a significant number of these illegal migrants, do you? I wonder why.

Well sure. But flying an English flag in England isn’t racist signalling either is it. You’d have to be an idiot to jump to that conclusion.

The flagging group removed some world flags near York University where they’d been put up to welcome international students.

Just so you’re aware:

"We have people in the village who are migrants… why should they have to look at that."
It's the English or UK flag!
There is an uprising in awareness that Britain, as we have known it, is being destroyed by mass immigration.

Yes the rise of the far right!

We'll if you will start with made up shite...

What? Just be explicit. Don’t wonder

It's not made up, it's reality. Wake up.

I'm a Brummie, and this no queuing thing has passed me by entirely. I've been wasting lots of time standing in lines by myself apparently.

It's not racist to expect people to speak the language of your own country, and abide by its customs - whether they be to do with queuing, saying please and thank you, or to do with tolerance of homosexuality and different religions.

It's certainly not racist to be concerned about the rape and grooming gangs that have terrorised thousands of young white girls, and to be horrified that the authorities have covered so much of this up in the name of "multiculturalism".

And it's not racist to not want thousands of young arrogant misogynist men from Islamic countries who think white women are sluts and who bring their disgusting treatment of women over here with them. And yes, I know that's not ALL migrants - but even a few is more than enough.

It's not racist to fly your own country's flag in your own country - but it IS an extremely effective campaign since it exposes people and authorities who actually really don't give a fuck about this country or its people or its values or its traditions.

But in the end, I don't give a fuck anymore if I get called racist. You have all worn that word out so it no longer means anything. Black people get called racist and white supremacist for saying these same, ordinary, moderate things. It doesn't mean anything anymore. You're just trying to stop people from talking.

OP, your DH sounds a lot more grounded than you do.

Who do you think started Raising The Colours?
Yes far right racist groups with an agenda to divide and conquer.

You can't count, accuse the police of lying with no evidence and say we don't queue anymore. Couldn't get any more made up or shite if you tried.

Call it what you want, I'm sure your Ancestors would be very proud of you 🙄

😁😁😁

Well done OP! Could do with you taking some down by me!

Really? Because I'm from Birmingham and if you try to stand in a queue for the bus in the city centre, you will just get trampled. I expect you live in Solihull or somewhere, and probably never have to get a bus.
