These idiots don't understand that flying a flag at half last or before it's disrespectful. And painting a cross on public property is vandalism.
Sad, useless bunch of idiots. Oh, I'm not allowed to use the i word, I'll get banned again...

It's Nationalism masquerading as Patriotism.
They say a Patriot loves his country, while a Nationalist hates other people's countries.

Yeah. A country is made of many parts. I love many parts of our country, but certainly not the same parts that most of the flaggers like.

I find the team patriot to be very odd. It really doesn't make any sense.

Yeah, or was the crusades that bright it to England. Unlikely in such a romantic fashion. I read years ago it was because crusaders, mostly common soldiers with a kindly leaving, started to question why they were spending years travelling to the middle east to slaughter families, so the government / kingdom used this sorry for morale. Ie he died for Christianity. I always thought that the dragon represented oppression, ie Romans, but then was twisted to represent islam rising in the holy land.

More likely it represents Christianity's victory over Paganism during the early Middle Ages. The dragon/serpent is a symbol of the 'evil' they worship. St. Paddy vanquishing the serpents from the Isle of Erin is an obvious example.
 
Ok to the people who are questioning the flag behaviour. Are you intentionally being short of a few?

First of all, please, as usual (esp the brainwashed left) stop denigrating opinion by attempting to portray this as anything else, this isn't 'nationalism' and it's not really patriotism, however people mostly of left opinion wish to tag this as 'far right behaviour' etc, the problem also is what is percieved as this sort of behaviour is shifting. (see below)

This is a peaceful protest and a jibe at the HO and current ruling party that 'British lives matter too'. That's what this is about.
Some of you who have known me on here for a while know this flag avatar of mine has been a long standing image. And i will repeat again, it's somewhat tonge in cheek, it's somewhat ragebait for the left who for some twisted reason all wish to wallow in post colonial guilt for this country and wish nothing more than erase terms such as 'the british empire' i am sure some would be physically sick having to repeat that a few times, which is mostly the driver behind my image as many on first impression cunjure up this middle aged bigoted racist overweight wife beater down the pub all the time, sorry to dissapoint! Many a time you see these same leftwing type people at protests, but when challenged if they would take some of these people to live in their own homes, there is always an excuse. Lets have a national poll, whoever wants these people pays an additional tax levy to house and accomodate them, in selected areas near to them also? (actually in honesty i wouldn't want this, we are already slowly moving towards civil unrest)

A while back i was attacked on here when we were first discussing 'illegal immigrants' and a well known poster on here (who i once respected for level headed posting who has sucumbed to i don't know what has happened to him maybe Covid jabs really have sent people crazy) criticised me for implying i referred to these mostly men arriving on our shores as 'brown men in boats'. Now fast forward a year or so, would you ever have believed our own PM is posting a picture of 'brown men' arriving on our shores with the statement 'illegal immigrants will be sent home'. Not long ago that could have got you in trouble with those hurty word people we are paying with our taxes, but now seems the norm even from our very own 'human rights Solicitor' of a PM. 'Snitch' what you saying now?

Even more absurd we now have our own Home Office spending tax payers money to pay solicitors to fight a local council who is opposing the use of a hotel for young men clearly abusing the ECHR law to some here as economic migrants (at best) or at worse criminals who wish to 'reset' in another country with a reputation as a win win. I dont blame them, had i in a different life had a chekered history perhaps i would do the same. However, on the flipside it is still immoral as the tax implications for 'lifetime contributors' to the UK treasury pot have significant implications, which most of the younger generation do not care or understand. This is OUR money we have worked our lives to accumulate, money taken off us without choice but in the good faith it is spent on the welfare of us and our future. Instead Billions are being spent here on this mess, abit like we already had with Covid where i am wondering how much of this distraction now is preventing the people who made millions from that scam are yet to be questioned.

I completely get the likes of Tony Blair etc contributed to the destabilisation of many countries which we are now paying the price for, however the failing of the Tories and now Labour to stop this issue and irrepairable damage is absolutely shameful, not to mention our very own HO who are also to blame for this, 'we are just following orders' doesn't cut it in any privately run business, believe me.

‘Morons’. Flag shagging morons. They’ve took the flag of St George and abused it for their own racist agenda. Pitchforks, burning torches and gammon faces at the ready.

No need. Some are unwittingly daubing the Swiss flag on various objects, describing their faux patriotism as Britishness.

Seriously, idiot doesn’t cut it.

First of all, it's nice to see you again.

Most people demonstrating aren't saying they want the asylum seekers to come. But that we should treat them fairly if they do come. There is a subtle difference.
