    Some of these flag shaggers did the same up here in Scotland but with the St Andrews flag. Unfortunately for them, that flag is associated with the independence movement, not racism, so they haven’t managed to portray the message they’re after.

    Most councils responded with “we’re not going to explicitly go out to take them down but they’ll be removed during routine maintenance”. So now, instead of a racist dog whistle we have free independence decorations!

    Useful idiots.

    Also, these dumb fucks wouldn’t know patriotism if it shat in their mouth. Patriotism is helping your neighbour, your community, your country. Improving living conditions in this country, making life worth living here. Not being angry at foreigners and putting up a piece of cloth. If they genuinely cared they’d read a fucking book and learn how to make this country better, but they just want to be angry and validated for it. Pricks.

    They aren’t patriots. It’s not like they put up the flags of Derby or Derbyshire, and they don’t put up the Union Flag nearly as often as the cross of St. George.

    And why don’t they put up the flag of the Commonwealth? Do they not sing God Save the King?
