Yes times have changed and I get that. However I am not offended at a harmless toy that is part of our herritage. It used to be the logo of Robertsons jam. It has gone too far this being offended at anything some nutcase has deemed as offensive.does that not show hows times have changed and those veiws are no longer accepted so making your veiws the minority ... and before you think off perhaps going into an unhelpful rant i am a 72 year old scot/brit who thinks it can be offensive to some so would choose to be neibouly and prefer not to offend just because i think i should be allowed too
Of course you can fly the English flag - just not so much on every lamp post, or from every household on every street.
Think about it.
You fly your flag and a neighbour does the same. People who sympathise with Farage's rhetoric on illegal migrants join in. Several more appear. Now the flag flyers outnumber the non flaggers on the street. They feel left out, some don't want to do it, others don't feel a need. They feel pressured into doing so, the ones who don't want to dig in their heels...tension rises.
Meanwhile - a nearby street with a majority of Indian residents decides to fly the flag of India in support of their cultural heritage which is becoming demonised in the neighbourhood. A line is drawn. The divide grows until the activists gang up, sweeping aside objections from moderates who do not wish to see things get out of hand over something so trivial.
They are set upon by activists who see this as not a trivial matter at all as their national identity is at stake...
where will it end?

With me taking them down. No ifs or buts I just do it. I follow orders to the letter.

Told you so. Amazing likeness and factual
And it’s not that difficult to make the comparison with Musk in charge and Trumps obedience.

I see HWM has been on Grindr again.
He kinda misses the point of my post:
and reinforces the point being made when i point out the flag flying crusade by reform is another way of whipping up the mob. It never ends well for them.

You missed my point too, the flags always end up with me taking them down in Yorkshire. Regardless to the opposition that I face, I am only following my orders and I execute them to the letter. I do not discriminate or have any bias in doing so, I have my orders and they get done.
My Pakistani friend has had a St. George's cross flying outside his window for a few years.
He renewed it during the last world cup.
His non-english immediate neighbour asked him to remove it.
He's still flying it.

Would you count on a reform council, under a new directive from a reform government, ordering them to be taken down; even encouraging people to fly them?
