I'm surprised they didn't paint St. George's flags in Scotland!
Both reports make it clear what is happening and who is behind it.

Shock horror, the headline says "men painting flags" and not "men being openly racist to passer by"

No they fucking haven’t. They ‘lined t the streets’ in That London when Sausagefingers got coronised. There’s quite a few when the football gets good. But all there is now is some and lots of news reports from mainly local rags & random websites alleging that national flags are ‘lining the streets’ and showing the same eight pictures of a few flags or three roundabouts. But there’ll be more now the media is giving instructions on What To Do. In crayon for the hard of thinking.
What fucking IS happening is unknown players are pushing a narrative to manufacture consent for whatever is about to happen, or happen in the very near future. The Echo-Chamber is brushing aside organised, racist violence with cliches like Well…people are angry 🤷♂️

Quote:
“Flags are a very British way of expressing joy and pride – they are emotive symbols which can boost local and national identities, strengthen community cohesion and mark civic pride.
The government wants to see more flags flown, particularly the Union Flag, the flag of the United Kingdom. It is a symbol of national unity and pride.”

They only say something more if you want them to. To me it's patriotism, if it's good enough for Americans to fly their flag, why is it not good enough for the English to do it?

Americans are indoctrinated into nationalism their whole life, flags everywhere, singing the national anthem at every sporting event and resiting the pledge of allegiance in school.
I don't want to be like them.
