Defiance in Birmingham as man paints St George’s cross on roundabout

1. Nothing like driving over the English flag to show respect

2. At least the flag shaggers are sticking to vandalism rather than arson and assault this time I suppose.

3. This is posted by the Daily Express’ official Reddit account. Feel free to block them.

4. I’d love to know what the thought process was here.

5. It’s patriotism in a roundabout way

6. Flagshagging is vulgar. We’re not American.

7. “If it’s vandalism I agree with it’s defiance”

8. I find it amusing the parallels this has with Palestine Action being made a prescribed group. Both started with “bans” that some people thought were unfair leading to ever more ridiculous protests over the ban.

   I’m sure everyones reaction to both stories on Reddit is consistent

9. ‘Defiance’ 😂

   The right really are fucking weird.

10. Quality content for a Tuesday morning looool

11. Some one does this on a local roundabout near me every world Cup and euros. Buses use the roundabout so it get worn off by about the end of the tournament. Work’s out nicely really, a bit of patriotism for the footy and the back to normal for the rest of the time.

12. Honestly would be a cool thing if we just made roundabouts like this, gives them some thing unique and wouldn’t cost a penny really

13. defiance? what gutless coked up public school failure shat out this headline? oh yeah, an express “writer”.

14. News just in: Government orders all hardware shops to report any purchases of red paint to the local police….

15. They’re roundabouts dang I thought they were omnidirectional speed bumps

16. So how long until this guy gets proscribed as a terrorist organisation?

17. Because Patriotism didn’t lead to division and war about 100 years ago! I hope they are the first wave to be taken out by drones.

18. Defiance. Defiance against what?

19. Defiance against what? No one cares.

20. This happens every euros and world cup round here. Only times it should be acceptable for it tbh. We’re not the USA, no need to be weird flag shaggers

21. It’s not defiance, it’s performative jackassery for mouthbreathers

22. A lot of places in the uk did this for the World Cup

23. Bet if that had been a Pride flag the council would have been praising him for doing it.

24. Flegs are not patriotism. Caring about each other. Upholding values like justice, tolerance and fairness are patriotism.

    But that’s hard work. And the fakriots don’t want to do hard things.

25. Domestic paint and road surfaces do not mix. Now the taxpayers have to foot the bill for repair, otherwise a compoface will make an appearance.

26. As ‘man-child vandal’ paints cross on roundabout you mean.

27. If we paint potholes with the St George’s cross, will the government finally start to fix them?

28. He probably couldn’t spell, so ✅
    He probably doesn’t have a job ✅
    He probably has limited education ✅
    He probably is on benefits ✅

29. I genuinely don’t understand why the flag is getting so much controversy??? Many countries wave their flags without any issue. Yes England is multicultural, but people come here to live in England… what’s the problem with the English flag?
