Politics birmingham flags takedowns
This Brummie shop owner’s taken enough of people putting flags up in his street and it’s a simply magnificent watch
It’s never been less easy to forget which country you’re in thanks to the flags which people – well, some people – insist on hosting up lampposts and hanging from windows and even painting on mini roundabouts.
And woe betide anyone who questions the real intent behind putting up Union Jacks everywhere, and we’re not just talking about Gary Neville.
No, we’re also talking about this particular shop owner in Birmingham who’d taken enough of people hanging flags outside his store and his two-minute rant is simply magnificent.
Fair play to this guy. He’s absolutely spot. This is the Britain I love and know. pic.twitter.com/1ooNdpEAbH

Not sure about the Clare’s Law stats, obviously, and no suggestion it applies to anyone featured in the video.
But having said all that, here are just a few of the many things people said about it.

He’s dead right, these flag shaggers are only doing it to intimidate. There’s already national flags on govt buildings, they don’t need to be plastered all over our streets like Nazi Germany.

England for years invaded, conquered and murdered all in the name of ‘civilisation’ all whilst stealing people’s shit then their victims come to the UK for a better life and THEY are the dangerous invaders??? Hypocrisy at its highest level.

This is in Birmingham and on the Pershore Road, Stirchley got voted one of the most cultural spots in the UK with a vibrant bar and coffee shop scene. This man is spot on and while I don’t view the flags badly, the intention & association with the far right is what creates fear
