    Listen up Yagoda.   In keeping with the flag flying frenzy that’s gripping those who think the national flag is solely the property of their own political tribe, a couple* of rightwing flag

    I posted this in another thread and Nick Carter's reply was "could be "leftists" doing it to make them look bad".

This was obviously right wing Danes.

 

The far right is very networked now and marked by international co-operation.

 

Probably a cross-border exercise, like NATO does in the Baltic.

You and the leftists here all seem to blame all the world's problems on your sworn enemy, Trump, and anyone that does share your toxic leftist ideology.

When will you understand. Trump, Dump, the name does not matter. We have never had a president hell bent on taking away democracy and installing fascism. One who lies, and lives by threats.  Who has been president before and behaved in this manner? The biggest embarrassment that America has ever had. The rest of the world is looking down on America and laughing and rightfully so. We elected the man. Now to get rid of him. As fast as possible before the damage he is causing becomes irreversible.

I think with respect you are completely missing the point.Of course there is humor in a few daft working class "patriots" getting confused about the very flag they are so obsessed with - and you have mocked these people.Yet you ignore the arrogance of intellectuals and left wingers that have driven these people to distraction.There is something adrift in the liberal establishment.George Orwell saw the same dysfunction long ago but his words remain totally up to date and relevant.

 

"They take their cookery from Paris and their opinions from Moscow. In the 
general patriotism of the country they form a sort of island of dissident 
thought. England is perhaps the only great country whose intellectuals 
are ashamed of their own nationality. In left-wing circles it is always 
felt that there is something slightly disgraceful in being an Englishman 
and that it is a duty to snigger at every English institution, from horse 
racing to suet puddings. It is a strange fact, but it is unquestionably 
true that almost any English intellectual would feel more ashamed of 
standing to attention during ‘God save the King’ than of stealing from a 
poor box. All through the critical years many left-wingers were chipping 
away at English morale, trying to spread an outlook that was sometimes 
squashily pacifist, sometimes violently pro-Russian, but always 
anti-British.”

Please provide a few examples of how Trump is "taking away democracy and installing fascism".

Yes, you said 35,000 lies.

 

That's an average of one lie every hour, for four years, yet when I asked you what you thought were the five most egregious, you did not respond.

The average American cant afford to even go food shopping right now. Let alone get involved in an overheated stock market. Your point is moot. What is the inflation rate? How much have food prices gone up in the last 5 months? How are we going to harvest with no labor in the fields. Oh yeah winning all the way.

It’s always somebody else’s fault.

Why not eliminate corporate income taxes on the food industry to bring prices down?

The English have been reduced to a minority in their capital city and are in a civilizational struggle to maintain control of their island so why kick your fellow countrymen when they're down?

I had to check and double check this wasn’t a joke, AI or a pish take.

 

But no, these two members of the little Englanders brains trust did spend time painting the Danish flag on a roundabout.

Great article Chomps,good to see it highlighting this bit about the unpatriotic loony left wing mayor of Tower Hamlets who has a shady past it seems. 

 

It came after residents hit out when Tower Hamlets Council, in east London, announced the patriotic displays would be removed.

Mayor of Tower Hamlets Lutfur Rahman, who was found guilty of electoral fraud in 2015, has thwarted the Operation Raise the Colours campaign.The national flags will now be ripped down "as part of routine maintenance".

As point of note, and yet one more example of the idiocy gripping the flag huggers.

 

The flag of St George is the flag of England and the English, the English are people born in England.

 

Just like the Union Flag of is the flag of the Union, the British and the British are all those born in the UK and those who hold British Citizenship.

 

These flags are not the property of the reactionary rightwing, they belong equally to many English and British people of all kinds of different ancestry.

An assumption on your part.

 

I wonder if the rightwing Sun Newspaper from which I linked the accompanying article had similar motives?

 Well, I find myself agreeing with you alot today!

 

You are quite right, the flag belongs to us all, that's why we are seeing thousands of normal working folk donning red white and blue, hoisting our beautiful Union flag onto lamposts. 

 

Its just those strange lefties labeling everyone right wing, racist or Nazis when its just good old fashioned patriotism.

   I think that you mean White English people, rather than English .

Non white people are also English .

Or are you suggesting that Thai/English children in the UK  aren't really British ?

I would like to see the counter protestors to the undeniably reactionary rightwing and racists waving the flag of Saint George and the Union Flag to ensure they remain the flags of all who are English and British.

 

 Mo Farah loved waving the Union Flag, it sometimes seemed like the only time he lit it down was to win another athletic victory for Great Britain.

 

Glorious use of the flag a true Brit, national treasure and a fantastic athlete.

It's so tedious and never ending. English are an ethnicity just like Thai people are. Give paperwork to whomever you want it doesn't make them part of the whole.
