Operation Raise the Colours is a 2025 campaign movement in the United Kingdom, consisting of groups that display the Union Flag and the Saint George's Cross in public places, as well as the flags of the other constituent countries of the UK. The campaign began in August 2025 and has particularly aroused controversy around the Flag of England due to its history of use by anti-immigration nationalists. It has involved tying flags to lampposts and painting them onto mini-roundabouts.
Supporters of the campaign say that this is with the aim of promoting patriotism. It has found support from members of the Conservative Party, Reform UK, Advance UK, and the Labour Party. The campaign has also been supported by several figures and organisations associated with the far-right, including the fascist political party Britain First and the anti-Islam campaigner Tommy Robinson.
Opinion polling has shown that both white and ethnic minority adults surveyed tend to see the campaign as primarily being an expression of an anti-migrant or anti-ethnic minority message, rather than of patriotism
Just in case anyone was feeling sorry for this gammon 
Thanks for the context!
groups that display the Union Flag and the Saint George's Cross
There's some difference between these two. The first is cringe but otherwise run of the mill tory, the second is EDL shit. US equivalent would be flying the official US flag vs flying the Confederate flag.
Blood and cracking his head on the soil

Critical support to the ladder.
Imagine living in Bristol and thinking that the place doesn't feel British enough.

Me Eels!
Oof he's deed. Anyways.
Another victim of far left ultraviolence. Truely a martyr
Hope his family claims 3million quid because the council didn't have a "do not put up flags" sign on the lamppost.
Quickest way to get the councils to stop ignoring it because they're scared is to make them liable for the harm caused by it.
Residents complain about this all the time, I have read many of them personally because of the team I'm in, what does the council do? They ignore the complaints because they're fucking scared of the backlash against them for dealing with it.
Residents should also work out exactly how much it is decreasing their house value and start claims against the council for the damage to property values.
Lumber fell. lmao!
