Why did they put the St George's cross onto the same caravan? Is it because St George had Palestinian heritage, or did they do it as some kind of counter protest? Seems a weird thing to do really.
It's funny how selective this patriotism is. Being patriotic just as a trend, and using your national flag to make others feel unwelcome isn't patriotic at all.

Anyone who had really looked at what patriotism actually is would understand it's a complex, multi-faceted thing that can take many forms for many reasons.
None of those forms include hating on minorities and wanting them to make them feel unwelcome in the country.
I think it's also plainly obvious that the majority of these flag statements are nothing to do with patriotism. When it's done at a time of political unease and is done in conjunction with anti-migrant discourse then it's not about pride in the country.
Sorry but anyone claiming otherwise is lying to themselves.

Not at all, I see it as a protest in the same way as I see this 'Raising the Colours' as a protest. I would criticise anyone waving a Palestinian flag with the intent of making Jewish people feel unwelcome. Raising it to support Palestinian civilians is fine. Flying it in an act of anti-semitism is not okay. In the same way that I have a neighbour who has for as long as I can remember had a Union flag up in their garden and I have never thought it to be problematic because that is an actual sign of patriotism.
I'm not sure where you've got this impression I am anti-Jew. I've spoke maybe twice about the Israeli / Palestine conflict and I've simply said I don't believe civilians - on either side - should be caught up in political wars. I've also openly criticised anti-semitism and agreed it's a discrimination that seems to be unfortunately brushed under the carpet and accepted a lot of the time.
I think if you're trying to paint me out to be anti-Jewish you should take a look back over my posting history.

Does context and intent mean anything to you, or....? You're being deliberately ignorant and I won't waste my time especially when I've already explained above that the context in which the flags are being waved within creates an altogether different message separate from "we love our country".

So waving Palestine flags is supporting another nation in protest hanging a flag in your garden is patriotic. Putting up flags on lamposts is a sign of protest.
..
So which part makes it flying the English to make immigrants feel unwelcome...where does that come into it? The organisers of raising the flags, have stated it's a protest against the government's attack on free speech, but you seem to be saying it's being done to make immigrants feel unwelcome, whilst saying the waving of any other nations flag is not done to make anyone feel unwelcome..
I'm slightly confused with your stance here!
And what about the members of the public taking them down, what does that make them? Unpatriotic?
So which part makes it flying the English to make immigrants feel unwelcome...where does that come into it?
What's currently happening with the raising of the colours is happening in conjunction with and alongside anti-migrant rhetoric.
The organisers of raising the flags, have stated it's a protest against the government's attack on free speech
The man who was a member of the EDL, is linked with Britain First and was jailed for affray due to his part in a race-related killing? Sorry if I don't believe him when he says it's not about immigration. Question is, why do you?
...whilst saying the waving of any other nations flag is not done to make anyone feel unwelcome..
I didn't say that. The intention behind waving any national flag decides whether it's done to hurt or for patriotic reasons. It's not the action, but the reasoning. If someone hangs a bunch of Palestinian flags outside of a Synagogue that is hateful and wrong because it's done to intimidate.
And what about the members of the public taking them down, what does that make them? Unpatriotic?
I would say in the current climate, it's a counter protest against the intentions behind many people putting them up. In any normal situation, when it's not linked with a far-right racist criminal, or not linked with anti-immigration messaging, or not hung outside mosques to intimidate, that, yes, the pulling down of a national flag flown for patriotic reasons is unpatriotic and hateful.
Sorry if the nuance behind this subject is confusing you.
What's currently happening with the raising of the colours is happening in conjunction with and alongside anti-migrant rhetoric.
And Labour's attack on free speech. Which is what the organisers are saying it's about...but you won't accept that cause you are to tied up in the point the finger and shout racist rhetoric that is used by protesters who refuse to talk.

They can't, but I haven't advocated for people to pull them down. I have just disagreed with those putting them up for negative and intimidating reasons.

That's a completely fair comment, that was rude, but she's essentially lying about what I am saying and the evidence is all in this thread.
I literally gave an example of why flying a Palestinian flag under certain circumstances would be completely inappropriate, I gave examples of where/when I think flying the national flag is completely appropriate. Nowhere did I say the flag was racist.
Finally, we didn't even mention pride or trans flags but Livia is obsessed with trans people for some reason so she needed to bring them into the convo, obviously.

I still believe you are wrong. It also makes no sense why a flag flying atop a lamppost would make anyone feel unwelcome...it would be more likely that they would feel welcome, in a putting the bunting up for us kind of way..
We will have to disagree cause the free speech angle seems a much more plausible to me.
The people taking them down! What has that coincided with, who's allegiances would they share?
The free speech thing is why they are going up.
And the video in the op shows why. You simply don't get the leeway the left get from the police if you are draped in an English or British flag. The flags started going up when the left counter protesters at the hotels were being bussed in and out to confront the concerned locals by the police themselves.
The other video posted yesterday further proves the 2 tier policing when the police arrested the one man being surrounded kicked and punched by a terrorist organisations supporters, rather than arresting them.

Raising the colours is not just about literally flags but also includes the painting on the ground/walls that's being done. Here we see people taking part in 'raising the colours' while simultaneously being racist. Are you suggesting that nobody who is taking part of Operation Raising the Colours is doing it for racist reasons despite it being co-founded by an actual racist?

It's fair to say that being anti-immigration isn't inherently racist - it really depends on the reason you oppose immigration - but if you are a racist, like the guys in the video or the people who scrawled "go home" on the Chinese takeaway alongside a St. Georges Cross, then your anti-immigration stance is highly likely because of your racism.
Not all people who are anti-immigration are racist, but it's likely all racists will be anti-immigration.

Anyone claiming the sudden surge in flags across the country isn’t tied to racism is trolling. There’s no honest explanation for the sheer volume of them appearing.
Racists try to mask it with talk of patriotism and national pride, insisting it’s their right to fly the flag. Of course it is. No one is saying otherwise. But where was this overwhelming pride before? If it was genuine, you’d see flags flying all year round, not just spiking in moments that conveniently align with hostility toward outsiders.
Patriotism isn’t seasonal. Pride in your country doesn’t appear and vanish depending on the political climate. The sudden wave of flags isn’t about love of country. It’s about sending a message, and that message is exclusionary.

Operation Raise the Colours: Bexley Council keeps flags
https://www.newsshopper.co.uk/resources/images/19868713.jpg?type=mds-article-962
In Bexley, St George’s flags will not be removed from buildings and lampposts unless they pose a health and safety risk to the public.
The move follows a very popular national online movement called Operation Raise the Colours, which has seen flags appear on lampposts, buildings, and even mini roundabouts across England, prompting many councils to respond.
Residents are encouraged to display flags responsibly
A spokesperson for Sir Keir Starmer said the Prime Minister is “absolutely” in favour of people who put up English flags.
It's fair to say that being anti-immigration isn't inherently racist - it really depends on the reason you oppose immigration - but if you are a racist, like the guys in the video or the people who scrawled "go home" on the Chinese takeaway alongside a St. Georges Cross, then your anti-immigration stance is highly likely because of your racism.
Not all people who are anti-immigration are racist, but it's likely all racists will be anti-immigration.
I agree with the last bit..
The movement probably has been and will be hijacked by racists, but like the ice bucket challenge, you can't stop people from participating in an online craze.

This is what I don’t get. People bang on about women’s rights and women’s spaces, get furious if a woman’s disrespected, but then happily back people like Conor McGregor or Trump.

I dont get involved in politics at all, but on my street on every lamp post the union jack flag has been put up like over a week ago and they still haven't been taken down so im guessing its allowed. There's one right outside my house which is annoying as it looks as if I could have put it there but theres no way of me getting it down. Isnt there some kind of huge protest happening on Saturday? Doesn't sound like thats going to go very well, I imagine lots of fighting will happen?

Two arrested over alleged perjury in Conor McGregor appeal
Two people have been arrested in connection with a garda investigation into alleged perjury during the appeal by Conor McGregor into a civil court finding that he had raped Nikita Hand at a Dublin hotel in December 2018.
The investigation, which is being carried out by the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation, commenced after the matter was referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) by the Court of Appeal.
The man and the woman were arrested in this morning and are being questioned at a Dublin garda station.
They are being detained under section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act and can be held for up to 24 hours.
Mr McGregor had initially applied to introduce new evidence last July in his appeal against the finding of the High Court jury that he had raped Ms Hand but unexpectedly withdrew the application just before the hearing was due to start.
Ms Hand's senior counsel John Gordon then proposed the court should refer the matter to the DPP.
He said the court had the power to do that and that it would show the concern it had for the apparent abuse of its own processes.
The three appeal court judges reviewed documentation and referred it to the DPP before gardaí commenced a criminal investigation.
These are the first arrests in this case.

This is the function of the police now. They are products of marxist universities and err on the side of antifa, trans and illegals. The rest of us are fair game for them.

Why did they put the St George's cross onto the same caravan? Is it because St George had Palestinian heritage, or did they do it as some kind of counter protest? Seems a weird thing to do really.
It's funny how selective this patriotism is. Being patriotic just as a trend, and using your national flag to make others feel unwelcome isn't patriotic at all.
St George was born in Turkey and was slaughtered because he refused to denounce his Christianity.
