Another appalling attack

All these half torn flags that posters see, posters that to a man/woman hate to see our flags flown mind you, am wondering who’s getting up the lampposts to tear them?🤔

They are cheap flags that get torn by the wind.

Oh, well, I suppose at least that means they're cotton, not plastic.

Every cloud, eh!! 😁

I’m still concerned about the assumption that anyone flying our union or England flags are dangerous, white, right wing bigots like Tommy Robinson.
We might as well put up white flags, we surrender to bigots

Quite!
And as for twaddle’s assertion that our English flag doesn’t mean what the Saltire does, well, that really is twaddle.

Oh do please explain!

No, you explain please.

Posters are having difficulty understanding exactly what you mean twaddle.

So much about the so called far right but the far left are much more numerous, dangerous and aggressive.

What far left? The far left didn’t cause the holocaust nor many things since then?

Who and what exactly do you mean by “far left”

I suspect they might think of themselves as on the left though casdon, it is difficult to say, my guess is the green party don't see themselves as 'of the right.' I find it hard to understand them so I am probably not the best person to analyse them!

Maybe some do, but they aren’t all politically aligned animals, certainly not espousing a particular party, they are cause people.

Actually I suppose if it’s saving the environment that they are passionate they might vote Green, but only for that reason, not because they believe everything else they may stand for.

I don’t think for even one millisecond that everyone flying the union or St George flag are dangerous right wing thugs.

I do not object the union flag flying on all our official buildings, nor the George flag.

I don’t object either flag being flown or placed on anyone’s private houses, especially during national celebrations or national sporting events.

I completely and utterly condone Robinson and his ilk using these flags in order to intimidate people.

I hate seeing the tatty, dirty flags on every lamppost in our streets.

I don't think the green party represent the environment anymore, they represent something else now.

Who or what is the far left you refer to in your post?

What did they do that was dangerous and aggressive?

A long term supporter of the Greens said that this party is no longer one he recognises.

I think they're as bad as each other actually, but the ultra left don't seem to get as much condemnation. Also it makes you laugh when you hear these ultra left types speak and they nearly always seem to be middle class, or put on a mockney accent.

Seeking understanding- who or what are the ultra left you refer to cumbrianmale56? who are the ones that put on a mockney accent- I'm intrigued.

Yes I probably know the one you mean, he has been whistleblowing for some time.

Myself and casdon have just spent quite a long time talking about this lemonjam.

The only ultra left person I'm aware of is George Galloway and he has a Scottish accent. I couldn't name one Socialist Worker Party person Ive seen mention of in the press myself.

I di your post about "progressives" Galaxy thanks. However I am intrigued who are the far left and the ultra left to which nanna8 and cumbrianmale56 refer. In what way they have been dangerous and aggressive and who has the mockney accent?

I don't think the green party represent the environment anymore, they represent something else now.

I think they represent the environment still, but have other equally important policies (important to them)

I would actually say they are further left leaning than our current Labour Party.

I’m only speaking from looking at their top, most up to date policies as published, not from Polanski’s “speeches” or lists on X.

Madness.

Not madness at all, in fact very sensible.
It’s simply a warning.

Ah well, you and your sidekicks can carry on. Pretty soon you'll be talking to yourselves.

You’ve not been right on your predictions about this war’s progression so far Oreo, but I admire your ability to remain optimistic about the outcome. I wish I was able to share that optimism.

I now have no idea what is going on on this thread.

I was talking of the warning to Caleo, are you on the wrong thread?
