A patriotic grassroots movement called Operation Raise the Colours is fighting back against the idea that it is racist or hateful to fly your country’s own flag.
Until a few weeks ago, you were more likely to see a Palestinian, Ukrainian, or LGBT pride flag flying in London than to see any of the UK’s own colours. Now, thanks to a grassroots movement called Operation Raise the Colours, that could be changing.
Union Jacks and St. George’s flags have been cropping up across the country over the last few weeks, being hung on lampposts by groups of patriots. The movement appears to have begun in Birmingham, organised online, before spreading to Norwich, Bradford, Newcastle, Swindon, and even London.
As you might expect, the flags are being swiftly removed by local councils. Birmingham’s Labour-run city council started pulling them down last week, citing health-and-safety concerns. The flags, fixed to lampposts 25 ft in the air, apparently put the lives of motorists and pedestrians “at risk.” This might have been a believable, if idiotic, excuse had the same council not allowed Palestinian flags to fly across the city—which is almost 30% Muslim—unhindered since October 7th, 2023. This is also the same council that, just last week, lit the city’s library up in green and white to celebrate Pakistan’s independence day. Birmingham City Council officials were even caught admitting in leaked emails earlier this year that they were too scared to take down the Palestinian flags without police assistance.
This week, the flashpoint for the flag wars was the East London borough of Tower Hamlets. The local authority, run by the pro-Gaza Aspire Party, has promised to remove any Union Jacks or St. George’s Crosses from council infrastructure “as soon as possible.” Tower Hamlets and its mayor, Lutfur Rahman, are

Why do leftist governments hate their own countries and their own citizens? And why would anyone vote for them?
Did we vote for the POTATUS?!
Hint: Those 9 councils that had their elections postponed recently had them postponed for a reason...
Waiting for the English revolution, and the collapse of the corrupted, marxist rump-British Empire which still lives in London.
It can’t be far off now.
It is part of the “open society” ethic. The idea was pushed, after WWII, that nationalism was too dangerous to be allowed. No “intense passion” should be allowed, as it inflamed people into war....
So the push was on to deny and degrade nationalism as dangerous and not progressive...
It leads to the current insane result.
These ideas were pushed, for example, in “Brave New World”.
Oh, wait. Scratch that. Who knows what that idiot might say?
Public education.
Some FReeper (I forget who) recently made an interesting comment. He said the UK is pretending it’s still a great, multi-ethnic empire.
And part of that fantasy is allowing all sorts of people into the country.
I suppose this might be a partial explanation. But those Brits who buy into that fantasy are missing one thing. The newcomers have zero allegiance to the crown. They come to take, and eventually conquer.
And yet they allow “intense passion”, especially from the muslim immigrants.
The Leftists are suicidal. They seek an impossible utopia based on collectivism that has failed everywhere, every time.
Their version of red, white, and blue patriots need to step up.

To think Starmer wants a crack at Russia?
I don't know who it is either, but it's not a mere fantasy. It's pure, cold, hard power and influence calculation.
The old British Empire died in the 1950s, but a rump globalist/neo-marxist one remains in London, and its organs of power are the Commonwealth (and control / nfluence in places like India, South Africa, and Canada) the City of London finance, MI6, the BBC/media, and Britain's long membership in, and control of, many international and global institutions.
Who is most in position to benefit from open borders, and an atomized, 3rd world, post-modern decayed West?
This influence also even extends deep into the US Government. If you doubt that - think how MI6 and Christopher Steele, via their American proxies and allies, were able to run an operation that nearly took down a President of the USA.
Russia did not want to go along with the globalist plans for a one world government. The globalists want that "problem" to go away.
In some respects this mess reminds of the Prussian elite’s approach to Hitler. Hitler was uncouth. But he was also a useful tool of the elite.
The ultimate Prussian, Paul von Hindenburg, even appointed Hitler chancellor.
Well, Hitler turned out to be not the Prussian’s puppet, but the Prussian’s master.
Same with happen with the British elite and their Muslim immigrants.
