Flags 14:00 - Aug 27 with 3053 viewsCheltenham_Blue

Bad morning, so thought I would get myself something nice for lunch so popped out to Tesco. About 10 Union flags have appeared overnight on one of the main drags into Cheltenham halfway up the lampposts.

Now I've no problem with patriotism, I think we should display more flags, if only to wrestle them back from the right. But, we all know this is nothing to do with patriotism.

They were all those cheap £2.50 flags you get from Sports Direct, which with the forecast this week will have them in tatters with running colours by the weekend, if that isn't patriotic enough for you, about 6 of the 10 were being flown upside down.

Oh dear a bloke pretending to be a badger on an Ipswich Town forum has called me a fanny


I don't believe that you're really blue skinned OR a boy, to be fair.

You're probably an old white bloke.

I’m speechless.

My garden is covered in flags on bamboo sticks. Most of them Union, some St George.

They have been wonderful for keeping the pigeons off my seedlings and peas.

I believe other flags are available but these came cheap, 10p each, after England were knocked out.


Even the pigeons hate our national flag. Bastards.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

After the reveal there were several countries I hadn't even heard of!


Really?!

Someone has painted a Red Cross on a mini roundabout in Colchester, actually looks rather nice. It is also impressive that it was done without closing the road for 2-3weeks ahead of the work being done.

It'll probably end up Right and Middle against Left if recent history is anything to go by.

I just don't get the point. The council is going to remove them or paint over them, and then they're going to get performatively mad.

Just stick them up outside your house or out your window or whatever. Hell, have dozens of the things, nobody cares.


I just chucked out an old mattress and painted the cross of St George on it. That way I know the council will collect it tomorrow morning.

I love the flags. First time in a long time I have been proud to be British. When on holiday I have always admired other nations for flying their own flags with pride.

I was in Derby yesterday and it does look like a NF rally as you drive in.

Never takes too long for the classism to come out


There's nothing classist about whether a person works or not, these days.

i'm just saying the flag people have too much time on their hands and not enough in their lives.

Has anyone ever looked at their own postings for last day or so? Oh my... so sorry. Was Ullaa

The white parts of the zebra crossings in Station Street have been crudely turned into St George’s flags at some point recently. Looks a quickly done job, no straight edges.
