Putting flags on lampposts

[Rita_Poon]

I've met this lad. He is a very provocative person at far right events and manages to worm into the anti-fascist side where he harasses people, including women. He makes out he's just a commentator but he's more of an agitator. He's also very young and I think taken in by a lot of very dangerous older angry men.

shame the beans weren't still in the can. lol, lolz, roffle, ho-ho-ho... etc.

Did make me laugh that an English nationalist is complaining about having half a full English down his mug

This fella certainly enjoys a flag. No half measures with this one

There's a riddle in there somewhere... When do baked beans hold the same material value as an egg? When it's on a fascist prefect's face... Or something. I'll let someone do the semantics, there's a sketch in there I suspect.

Has all this 'jumping on the Bandwagon' started being replicated in many other countries ?

France is incredibly close to tearing itself to pieces, frighteningly so.

Ffs it's a Union Flag unless it's on a ship, then it's a Union Jack. These gammons can't even get the basics right.

The flags are a sign that racism has a broad support now. So this is how it goes and it won't be long before Farage and his followers are suggesting that, although they do not of course endorse racism, it's time we had a 'conversation' about whether certain 'cultures' are compatible with 'British values' and 'British society'.

There will be calls for the media to better reflect the 'cultural makeup' of Britain with claims that certain 'cultures' are overrepresented and over promoted. There will be calls for the government to remove protections of certain 'cultures', in policing (hate crimes, incitement of racial hatred, probibition on racial profiling) and discrimination in employment legislation.

Just because those impacted by their policies and statements happen to be exclusively black and brown skinned people, it's not racism: it's just about the primacy and reflection of British culture and values.

The Reform MP basically said she doesn't want to see as many black or brown people on TV and Farage has said she's not racist. Pull the other one Nige, it's got bells on.

If you live in Bootle the flags are the tip of the iceberg here, there's all sorts of anti-Muslim graffiti, EDL graffiti, swastikas etc. It's not about national pride whatsoever it's about xenophobia.

Don't agree with putting flags up as it's a safety hazard but the fact is if I put up a LGBT flag, a trans flag, a Palestine flag or an Everton flag it'd get taken down straight away. Sadly the councils are too afraid of the reactionary racist rabble.

I work in the HSE building and ventured to the strand on my dinner. Theres shutters with the words stop the boats, but they way they have structuted it, it reads stop boats the. Made me chuckle. Dimwits.

Things would never have got to this point if we had ANY politicians worth a crap who had it in them to have honest discussions about things like immigration without just lumping the person they're talking to into the same category as Fararge, Trump, Robinson and the rest of the far right. Zero nuance. Its the when they try to discreet someone on the left too. "Oh. You want all the homeless looked after and cared for?! You're obviously a Marxist!" Nowt will ever change because our mainstream politicians aren't worth a dam and are the reason that the country is in such a state to begin with. I don't blame people for looking at the alternative parties hoping for something better but they're in for a world of disappointment because those guys are either just as bad or worse.

I think there is some pluristic ignorance regards how popular overt racism is in the UK, they are loud and a dangerous presence on the right but not a majority. The fear I have is that politicians and legislators seem to be taken in by this misrepresentation aswell.
