tbf knowing how slow councils are… Getting them to even fill in a form in 24 hours would be a miracle lol.
TBH There’s a part of me hoping they don’t.
I appreciate that it’s scary, I wince seeing one of the flags on my way to work on some lamp posts but there’s a part of me that doesn’t want to let them win?
Don’t let gammons turn the flag into a symbol spray painted to scare minorities the same way as a swastika.
You can tell this is the first time most of them have ever put a flag up . It’s real important to them all of a sudden since Facebook uncles told them they can’t . Now for the awkward moment when they find out it’s Infact, not illegal.
Surprised the goose doesn’t have a St George’s cross spray painted on it
Honestly I want them down, not because I hate my own country but because by putting them up over an entire area, you are taking away my right to choose whether or not I’m a part of your protest. A protest that has devolved into a racially charged attack and that is not at all reflective of a lot of people’s opinions. Who are they to decide their entire town get represented that way, why are their views allowed to be forced. Make the gammon take it down and teach them a little something about democracy.
When are we spray painting a stencil of “support Palestine Action” in pot holes to get them filled?
I mean, if they arrest the pot holes maybe that will work too?
I think its great that they are still flying; when they have been up for six months and they are all frayed and filthy, they will be a perfect metaphor for Brexit.
Hasn’t stopped loads of AI created memes and videos joking about if you need stuff removed pain a flag on it going viral. This is wet dream material for people trying to stoke culture war like farage and Russia
To be fair someone spray painted a swastika on some sort of outbuilding (no idea what it’s for) in the Durham county council area and it was there for about 6 months
You’d think flying a Turkish flag would be illegal?
More divisive bullshit on these subs.
Day 6?
Ones by me have been there for weeks lol
I’m sure they’ve been conscious to select biodegradable only as not to have a negative effect on any of the wildlife.
Council couldn’t remove a fucking pothole what do you expect?
Every day in my town the council are removing flags. Every night a new one goes up. 🤷🏼♀️
Sorry to ruin your meme.
They’re just the same as the conspiracy idiots.
Flags get removed: I TOLD YOU SO!!!!!!!
Flags don’t get removed: THEY ARE SCARED AND THEY CAN’T IGNORE US ANYMORE!!!!!!!
It’s all just confirmation bias nonsense however the coin falls.
Just back from a nice walk with the dog here, sadly spoiled by some melts plastering st georges flags on every lampost down the main street. Are we supposed to be getting hyped up for the England v Andorra Group K world cup qualifiers or something??
I have more examples. Please let me know how many you need before I meet the “it might be happening” quota.
Please don’t forget to mention how its only Reform that is actively banning flags, lol.
Flags are a sign of IQ.
It will have to be up for a couple of years before the council acknowledge it and tell you someone will look into it and at least another year before they actually do it.
What makes me laugh is they are invariably at half mast.
But perhaps that’s appropriate?
okay I haven’t been back to the UK for a couple years (living abroad). What the heck is going on over there with this flag business?
Wanna know the actual rules about flying the Union Flag rather than the random redditor rules? Knock yourself out.
It’s so utterly embrassaing that cunts like Farage peddle “nationalism” and “patriotism” and are the first to openly admit that their nation should submit to Russia.
Will the gammons be maintaining these flags once they become dirty and tattered? A cheap flag will only last about 90 days.
I used to work for a council as a community officer. I would issue fines for this.
It was then a different team who would remove them.
I did read on article that some of the council workers were intimidated by people into leaving them up.
Think!
They need to book the council recycling site to recycle the flags. The next slot is available in 43 days.
