Councils taking down English/UK flags, whilst leaving those of foreign flying?

In what Universe is that considered anywhere even remotely near correct?

Thanks Peter for dealing with the ex cycling zealot for me. I have Jewish friends who stopped going into London when the Palestinian people were demonstrating. None of them have been to Israel and would, I'm sure, strongly disapprove of Netanyahu if questioned. I have an English flag which I would expect to be able to fly without plod interference outside my house as opposed to the Palestinian flags which councils and the plod choose to ignore, possibly not wanting to upset the growing minority

& your page you posted  is invalid.Perhaps you might try & support your democratic country, rather than the anti patriot stance you adopt. (P James)

Peter Yale ● 35d

Probably because they had palestian flags, & shouting & screaming, trying to intimidate or bully anyone into their way of thinking

Peter Yale ● 35d

For example.https://www.chiswickw4.com/default.asp?section=info&page=concrime1221.htm

>but would not have wanted to be a jew passing by.How do you know there weren't Jewish people taking part in the protest?And how do you know people taking part in the protest would have harrased somebody Jewish (which I presume is what you're getting at)?

Paul James ● 35d

You got that right Mr King.

Rosco White ● 35d

Was having a quiet drink outside the North Star with my daughter this afternoon and heard some very loud noise she thinks was from some Palestinian protesters in the street with the horse statue. No problem with that assuming all were legal but would not have wanted to be a jew passing by. I'm assuming the local plod were somewhere in the borough taking down English and GB flags?

Peter King ● 36d

Nope, definitely not seen them. (So stop making stuff up about me , as you cry constantly). Not in BBC News or My London.Not defending it at all, but as I said typifies your negativity & anti patriot stance. Very sad

Peter Yale ● 36d

>No idea where or what you are referring to.Two well documented stories in the media Peter, given your interest here I'd be surprised if you've not seen them, but also not surprised if you would claim ignorance of them.

Paul James ● 36d

No idea where or what you are referring to.Unfortunately as with your other favourite topic, you will only find negatives rather than positives .Shame you are not proud of the UK & a patriot

Peter Yale ● 36d

The two people painting red crosses on a parade of shops whilst racially abusing a young family, and the people defacing a historical council building need to be supported and lauded for their "patriotism" do they?

Paul James ● 36d

You have posted elsewhere today Mr James, still waiting for you to enlighten me?

Rosco White ● 37d

Perhaps what’s being missed, or rather blatantly ignored.Anyone a millimetre right of centre is a far right fascist.Patriotism is a dirty word.Express pride in your country’s culture & heritage, try to promote it, all hell breaks loose.The country hating traitors go into one

Peter Yale ● 38d

Then enlighten me.

Rosco White ● 38d

>Am I missing somethingWell, yes you are.

Paul James ● 38d

Am I missing something, why is it "Delicious"?You fly your country's flag but have to take it down for fear of being attacked?!If you Mr James, or anyone else, can't see that something VERY wrong is going on here then we are truly lost.

Rosco White ● 38d

Delicious..."Reform UK council removes St George and union flags over safety fears"

Paul James ● 38d

It IS an utter disgrace that the English flag of St George (who wasn't English) gets used as some sort of racist Keep Out symbol.  It's great though when we fly it to support our soccer or rugby teams (especially when they are female)!

Philippa Bond ● 38d

Sad but true.Completely wrong & an utter disgrace

Peter Yale ● 45d

We have a lovely country.Under Comrade Starmer and his Politburo.As opposed to my usual refrain of "We have a lovely Council".That is all.    😄

Rosco White ● 45d

These days you get arrested and thrown in jail if you say you're English.

Dominik Klimowski ● 45d

Ps try reading (amongst many) today’s Standard, page 16. Tells you all

Peter Yale ● 46d

I echo Mr Whites sentiments exactly, about you

Peter Yale ● 46d

>It is well know that St George/UK flags were being taken down whilst otheres were left flyingWell known? Is this just hearsay then?Just asking for a link, or some evidence this is what was happening, and you also said it is all over, not just tower hamlets right?Lots of disinformation and misinformation flying around at the moment, just asking for some clarity. Where are you seeing this?

Paul James ● 46d

😂, hear hear

Peter Yale ● 46d

">Tower Hamlets. This isn't what the article about tower hamlets said."Mr James, I will no longer engage in your idiotic perversity.It is well know that St George/UK flags were being taken down whilst otheres were left flying, it doesn't have to be mentioned in "your" article.You know this, you just enjoy being a perverse twat.

Rosco White ● 46d

The story I read & seen in the press, that’s  exactly what’s said  & happened.

Peter Yale ● 46d

>Tower Hamlets.This isn't what the article about tower hamlets said.

Paul James ● 46d

The point is that should NOT be happening & must not happen.All these woke, anti British fools trying to erode our heritage & culture, so worried about offending anyone. Tough, if you don’t like the flag, out traditions & values, shove off some place else.No wonder there’s resentment

Peter Yale ● 46d

Tower Hamlets.To start with.But you already knew this, you just enjoy being contrary.

Rosco White ● 46d

>THE POINT is that St George/UK flags WERE being taken down whilst foreign flags were left flying, on lamp posts, every where.Where was this? Have you got any specifics?

Paul James ● 46d

I did, and you're Lefty Swerving.THE POINT is that St George/UK flags WERE being taken down whilst foreign flags were left flying, on lamp posts, every where.Foreign flags were deemed OK/legal whilst St George/UK flags weren't.It took legal action, which shouldn't have been required except in a Two Tier System,  for common sense to prevail.Geddit now?

Rosco White ● 46d

>Correct Mr YaleYou didn't read the article then.

Paul James ● 46d

Correct Mr Yale.Great innit.Still, The Fools will be happy.

Rosco White ● 46d

except Palestinian flags 😡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Except it's illegal to put flags on lamposts, and councils are obliged to remove them by law...https://www.uklfi.com/tower-hamlets-to-remove-palestinian-flags-following-legal-threat

Paul James ● 46d

A country that takes down its own flag, regardless of reasons, is a country in decline.And we ARE in decline.Unless you're a hardcore PC Lefty Liberal Woke, in which case you probably think everything is just fine and dandy.Fools.

Rosco White ● 46d

Pure pride in our once excellent country.Patriotism.Every government, council building should display the Union Flag & St George’s.All day , every day

Peter Yale ● 46d

I'd always be very careful of the motivations of people that put flags up, if you didn't already know, you have to ask what's the message behind it before supporting them without knowing why they are doing it surely?I speak as somebody that finds the Mall resplendent when it's lined with Union flags.
