Quote: Councillor says England flags on Coventry crossing are 'disrespectful'
Red spray-painted lines on a Coventry crossing representing the English flag have been slammed as 'disrespectful.' Councillor Ant Tucker condemned the 'wonky' markings on Earlsdon Street.
Cllr Tucker, of the Labour Party, said the red spray-painted lines have 'defaced' the crossing near The City Arms. He emphasised that the crossing exists for pedestrian safety, not as a platform for political messaging.
He said he has requested the Earlsdon crossing be cleaned as a 'priority.' Coventry City Council was approached about England flags appearing across the city. Source: https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/councillor-says-england-flags-coventry-32670022

All this seems to be happening as a right-wing backlash against the white population being constantly told that they're racist/responsible for all that's wrong with the world.
A shame, and it's becoming every bit a symbol of hate as the left-wing propaganda machine.

I have no problem with flags, unless they're dangerously placed. However, defacing crossings/roundabouts etc. I see it as vandalism.
We should be proud of our national flag, and (to probably misquote Starmer) those who don't like things are free to leave!
I have to admit that my feelings toward those making demands on us to adapt our way of life to theirs are hardening. I have worked in many countries, and I have always adapted to them and their customs and never complained. My view these days is, if you don't like it, maybe seek out somewhere more suitable; maybe the UK is not for you.

I feel the same way, Rebbonk. People have their own cultures & backgrounds, but they must also make an effort to integrate with ours as well.
