America's new vice-president has delivered a blistering attack on critics of the English flag, telling Britons they must "push back against the crazies" who try to shame people out of displaying their national symbol.
JD Vance launched the explosive intervention when quizzed about the summer's Operation Raise the Colours campaign - which saw councils in Birmingham and Tower Hamlets rip down patriotic flags from lampposts and bridges, reports The Times.
The 41-year-old Republican, who spent time holidaying in Britain this summer, has repeatedly waded into UK freedom of speech rows since taking office. The intervention comes as residents joke that painting Union flags will get fridges ‘collected quicker’.
Fox News host Will Cain asked Vance about reports that "the English flag has simultaneously become controversial and patriotic" - prompting the vice-president to recall how his own friend was too scared to fly the Stars and Stripes during the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots.
Fly the Flag of St George or Union Jack upside down oso can. No problem.
ReplyDeleteThe young girl holding knife and axe trying to defend herself from sexual predator is already an internet meme...the other trigger case was the ruling on hotel in Epping must stay open for asylum despite protest from local residents.

🧵 THREAD: Why the UK Can't Deport Refugees, Even Criminal Ones
A Scottish teen’s viral clash with a migrant, and a MP’s new report on R*pe G*ngs, have reignited debate over asylum and deportation in Britain.
This thread will detail:
⚖️ what treaties the UK signed onto
✈️ why deportations get blocked again and again
💷 the financial incentives built into the system
It’s more complex — and more instructive for the US — than most headlines admit.
Patience while I pull the thread together… 🌍📜
This polemic arise because in the midst of all the protests against what is happening with Gaza, festooned with a sea of Palestinian flags, a British man opposing the protests chose to wave a Union Jack. A policeman ordered him to take it down, deeming it a provocative act. When the man refused to do so , he was arrested.
ReplyDeleteArrested by police for flying the Union Jack in Britain..how stupid can the over Woke policeman get ?
The man was later released without charge, if Prosecution had attempted to charge him, almost any judge would have kicked out the case.
mfer, that policeman saved the life of an idiotic redneck who's act of scoundrelic patrorism within the sea of hostility & angers could most likely end his life.
DeleteThere would most likely be a crowd of equally agitated & angry young turks, who wouldn't take lightly about the appearance of the union flag amongst their pick, within the march.
A tragedy in the making!
Yeah, Hamas and their supporters are famous for their terrorism and extreme violence.
DeleteThe banning of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation must be accompanied by serious actions, else the risk of terrorist violence in UK will be extreme.
likening to the early days of the zionist Irgun, Haganah & Lehi etc.
DeleteBut do u care?
Or know?

ReplyDeleteThe Legacy Media is failing to report on a revolution happening in England.
No, I'm not joking.
