This is why Britons are so angry about shameful councils banning our national flag

A second council has now told patriots to take down the flag of St George because they say it poses a danger to pedestrians. This week Tower Hamlets joined Birmingham in telling residents to remove their national flag from lampposts. Yet these same Labour-run councils have allowed Palestinian flags to fly in public spaces for months.

It is yet another example of two-tier rules in Sir Keir Starmer's Britain - and flies in the face of Downing Street's public backing of residents flying British or English flags in their communities. Citing bogus safety concerns, left-wing councils across the UK are actively taking down British flags. And that's despite patriotic residents footing the bill.

Campaign group Operation Raise the Colours put up the flags on lampposts last weekend, but Tower Hamlets council workers swiftly took them down - workers were spotted removing them with metal poles, no doubt, rather ironically, at a cost to the taxpayer!

The East London council is headed by the pro-Palestine Aspire Party that for months allowed Palestinian flags to fly from its council buildings and lampposts until intimidated Jewish residents finally succeeded in getting them removed.

That any British council should object to our national flags being flown is a reflection of the divided loyalties in our country. Sadly, we are already living in a sectarian nation where communities with different allegiances are allowed to dominate the streets.

For decades in Northern Ireland now, flag waving marching bands have patrolled their neighbourhoods signifying the different loyalties of their residents. And now it has come to mainland Britain with pro-Palestinian protestors being the most notable of these groups seeking to control streets in our cities to the detriment of Jewish residents.

This development is heavily influenced by uncontrolled mass migration that allows city-wide unintegrated groups to maintain their foreign interests, leading to local MPs being elected purely because of their support for these causes, which may well be at odds with our nation's policies.

The recent prohibition of Palestine Action has been an attempt to rein in this divisive activism, as the campaign group has graduated to breaking the law by attacking military bases and targeting Jewish businesses. And yet many Labour politicians are calling for the overturning of this ban.

That patriotic Britons should seek to combat this division by raising our own Union flag or the English flag of St George to reassure residents of their national identity is no surprise at all. For too many years, and especially under Sir Keir Starmer's Labour, there has been a strong feeling that we are losing our historic national identity thanks to waves of migrants who have little interest in this country, apart from making money or claiming benefits.

People are sick and tired of being gaslit about it, and the hypocrisy they've witnessed towards different groups depending on their liberal sensibilities. Pro-migration left-wingers have done their best to associate our national flag with "right-wing thuggery" and therefore feel justified in denigrating any show of patriotism beyond sporting events.

But this is only going to further the deep resentment many Britons feel about losing their traditional identity in the face of left-wing globalist ideology and aggressive foreign cultures such as Islam.

Left-wingers are keen for us to feel ashamed of our history, highlighting the centuries past slave trade to an absurd extent in our national institutions, and casting doubt on our national heroes, including the greatest of them all, Sir Winston Churchill.

By hoisting the Union flag and the flag of St George, it is the most visual rejection of all that anti-patriotic nonsense and a reassertion of allegiance to our national culture.

With so much of our government at national and local level run by left-wingers, there is now a clear fault-line between our rulers and the majority of voters who want their country back. As more and more councils tear down our national flags, paid for by local residents, the desire for a complete reassessment of who governs us becomes stronger and stronger.

Patriotic Britons will not stand idly by as their nation and history is trashed by left-wing or foreign-born agitators. To cite a once proud description of national defiance against overwhelming odds, flag-waving patriots are now that thin red line we once celebrated in the past.

I have always been very impressed with the way the Stars and Stripes flies over many public buildings and private homes throughout the USA. We should be no less proud of our own national flag and neither should our government.
