Is flying the flag a form of virtue signalling ?

Which utter scum bags have trampolines? Imagine letting kids have fun 

It's when it's on the front lawn. I don't mind so much if it's round the back 😂

Still, it's a change from his normal 'racist' screeches.

Unless it's some other nationality doing it of course.

If folk don't want to do it, then don't, but there seems to be a remarkable level of criticism of those that do.

Like some sort mass embarrassment. 

There is clearly a point being made, and it is far more powerful than fuckwits smashing towns up.

Following the court ruling today, there may well be a lot more.

I think it’s funny to be fair

No, it's part of a trend which some on here fail to grasp. The penny might drop in 2029.

Unless of course Mr. Beige U Turn manages to 'smash the gangs' :rofl:

Thanks mate. I put a fair bit of effort into that one.

Have you seen those shitholes opp the sholps on MBW?

I pass the houses near the rocket spar most days and tbh, many are looking a bit better, prob the somalian head choppers, but some really do want evicting and chucking in the sea

Absolute oxygen thieves

Everyday mate. They are all trampoline enthusiasts. I've never seen anyone bouncing on one sadly. One of them has still had their halloween decorations up from last year until about a week ago!

Shame I think because they're decent, well built houses! 

A Labour donor, a virtue signaller and a flag shagging clown. 🤡

What ruling? I must have missed that. 

Anyway - each to their own. I think it looks really tacky. Akin to Muslims putting pillars at the front of their house - which also looks tacky. 

Anyway - while I'm talking about Muslims. I passed the Mosque that's being built on Blackburn Road yesterday and it looks well underway after just being a frame for years. 

I was pleasantly surprised to be honest. They've chosen a red brick style building which actually is in keeping with the local area. It's not painted white green and gold like some of the really garish ones. Obviously there's still time for them to make it look like pistachio flavours ice cream - but if they keep it the way it is - I don't think it will look too bad. 

Not sure what the parking will be like mind! 

Anyway - flags. It's a huge no from me. We're not American. We can be proud of our country without the flag shagging. If you have or want one - go for your life - I don't think anyone should be prevented from putting one up. 

Just understand that's there's a sizeable number of folk who will just think you're a chav. You might not be of course - but people who don't know you will think you're a chav be default. Myself included. Doubly so if you've got a trampoline in the front garden too. Or if you use towels as curtains.

Forest Green owner. I'm guessing the flag is made out of hemp.

How many boats has putting a flag on a flyover stopped so far?

Just for balance, like.

It's a free world, do what you like, we put union jacks on our products and we're rightly proud to do so.

What I find odd is that people have always been free to do this, but have seemingly waited until now to do it.

Almost like they're incapable of independent thought. 

Personally, I find the whole flag flying thing a bit odd. I do think they look OK when on a Government building, or on a flag pole in a town centre (my local town centre usually has a Union Jack, next to the war memorial). It just looks a bit odd when in the middle of some scutter council estate.

The whole hanging of Ukraine and Palestine flags, here in the UK, I find very weird, especially if the people flying them aren't even from those places.

I actually saw a Star of David flying over a joinery workshop near Whitby a few weeks ago... that's odd/brave/interesting I thought as I drove past!
