Brits, what's going on with people showing the England flag all of a sudden?

@Unquestioned Read this article about it

It is being used against immigrants...

[@JJones, that is what mainstream media tell you, but they are bought and paid for by The Powers That Be. It is more against the government, and the fact that the police stand there while certain people burn The British Flag on the streets. It goes even further than that. Come back when you know and understand the history of it all.

@Unquestioned Doesn't change the fact that there are far right people using it to intimidate immigrants. That IS happening

@Unquestioned That is fair but I don't think people who agree with far right ideology should be grouped in with the rest of us when they actively want to spread their hate and want to ruin people's lives. They are the problem, they all need to be held accountable and stopped

@Unquestioned There were two reported instances of union flags being burned - in June and November 2024 (ie. too far removed to have any direct link with the current flag waving). Both were connected to young, white, drunken youths.

@Unquestioned
No, we will come back when you present video evidence of "coloured people, as you call them, marching side by side flying the flags".

But the fact that you claim you're not going to explain it all pretty much confirms that you're lying.

@Unquestioned No, it is not what the government want; it is what the far-right want.

It is purely Farage, Tommy Robinson, and compliant media such as the Daily Mail, Express, and increasingly the Telegraph, who are responsible for the currrent division.

@wishforthenight See I wasn't lying.

@Unquestioned Well, you're certainly being evasive.

I'm still waiting for evidence of "coloured people marching side by side flying the flags". You of course meant the Union Jack or England. This is the Pakistani flag.

And what's wrong with being allowed to celebrate Pakistan Independence Day? It's never been a "problem" before.

And GB News is a far-right news station, as you know.

@wishforthenight No I didn't mean The Union Flag at all, I didn't say that or think that. So, you can read minds now huh? There are other videos of the Pakistan Flag being flown in England when it's not their Independence Day too, and other foreign flags. I can't be bothered finding them, go look for yourself, or you could just tell me I'm lying.

@Unquestioned

You're getting caught up in your own lies now.

So now all the flags, regardless of where they're flown and regardless of nationality, are against "the government and the fact that the police stand there when certain people burn The British Flag on the streets". Pakistan Independence Day is all about protests against the British government now?

@wishforthenight I didn't say any of that or mean it the way you are saying. You are just making up in ''your'' own mind how ''I'' mean it. You seem very misguided; that's your problem not mine. I have said what I have to say, I do not intend getting into drama with you. You have a nice life, fellow human being.

@Unquestioned WOW That is PRICELESS!!! 😂

I see what’s going on now, of course. You’re playing a fun new game called ‘Reverse History.’ First, you tell me about 'coloured people marching side by side flying the flags' (which, by the way, you did mean the Union Jack and England flag, and you know it), and now you're claiming, 'Oh no, I didn’t mean that at all.'

Wow, that was a quick plot twist! I must indeed be a master at reading minds, because I’m somehow able to guess all these different meanings you're pulling out of thin air.

It’s almost like you're trying to make one of those choose your own adventure' stories where the flags keep changing based on how convenient it is for you. But, hey, who needs to stick to what was said earlier when we can just re-write the script mid-conversation, right? 😆

So, to sum up: You said what you said, then tried to act like you didn’t say it, and now we're all just supposed to pretend none of that happened. Sounds like a solid plan. Good luck with that, I'm sure it'll work out great for you. Have a nice life, fellow human being!

@SunshineGirl Yeah you are right, I got mixed up, I was wrong. I watch and read a lot from all sides of the fence, I'm not extreme left or right. It was actually the Australian flag in Australia being burned, that's happened a few times. As I'm sure you know it has the Union Flag on it.
