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.
Driving back home up the M1 on Sunday on every single Union Jack displayed from a bridge going over the motorway was hung upside down. Clearly these people are in distress
I guess they got the ski masks from Sports direct as well. There is nothing more innocent than going round the town attaching flags to things in 27C heat with a ski mask on.
My favourite urban legend at the moment is the talk of the 'lad down the pub' who's been going round at night collecting up flags and selling them back to the people who hung them in the first place.
I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.
Civil war is coming Chelts. Just make sure you have lots of tinned food and stuff. I've said for 2 years that the English uprising is coming. The left is cheesed off, the right is cheesed off and the middle is almost cheesed off. Its coming and Mr Starmer is very afraid of it. He tried to stop it last year by arresting people for "shouting at horses". People are mad.
Well, this isn't to my mind quite as irritating of the continual tit-for-tat festooning most of the lamp posts in Radlett with yellow ribbons, ostensibly in support of the Israeli hostages, which are regularly removed and then restored.

I was being a bit ironic re Chelts spelling tbh. Mind you maybe he meant it!
Some moron has tried to make George crosses on lots of local zebra crossings etc with scruffy red paint or marker. Makes a decent neighborhood look like a scruffy shytehole, regardless of the flag issue. It is vandalism and needs a strong response.
Most aren't even straight. Looks like a child has done an inverted danish flag. Wazzocks.

Yes I saw one which was just hopeless - two wobbly red lines - and they'd also badly coloured in the direction arrowheads. Almost as bad as the flag with Carlsberg written across it.
