Marvel at this super-zero 'Cesspool' as he repels a Lower the Flags Team in Shrewsbury. #LowertheFlags
These signs are unsightly and should be removed (they were). But trying to equate poor local marketing with the hijacking of our nations flags, and to intimidate communities is on another level. Not aware of Domino's ever crossing that line. #LowertheFlags
@docrussjackson Need to get the #LowerTheFlags crew out in #Braintree Essex. Drove through recently and greeted by the visible evidence of a hate filled community and just thought what a horrible place to live. Shameful
A message from a member of the #LowerTheFlags initiative in Shrewsbury (posted on FB):
I’m old enough to remember more than one wave of far-right uprisings in this country. I was pretty young when I first realised that there was more than one kind of flag here. There was the friendly union jack that people would wave when royalty was visiting town, or that athletes would put on like a cape to celebrate their olympic victories. Then there was this other version - one that was raised in hate, that sent the message “We’re the REAL British, you’re not” to anyone whose skin didn’t match these peoples’ idea of local, or who practised the ‘wrong’ religion or traditions. And that flag, no mistake, was the one to be stuck on our lamp posts under Operation Raise the Colours.
So when they started flapping all over town, attached to property that belongs to all of us, it looked as if the whole town wanted this display.
Then I found out it was basically one bloke and a couple of mates with a cherry picker, self appointed champions of ‘patriotism’.
So many people were talking about them - how naff, how aggressive, no one asked us if we wanted them…
And then I heard about this other group with a clever extendable pole that could catch the flags and pull them down. Fantastic, I thought, how can I help?
I went out once with the group. It was the infamous time when the two leading members of RTFS+ came out to meet us.
It was soon clear that they came to scare us, shoving their phones in our faces, pushing us off the pavement with their truck, accusing us of treachery, shouting abuse at us. I can admit that I’ve never felt so vulnerable. I felt sick in my stomach from the moment they arrived to getting home safely.
Though we got lots of toots of support, some drivers shouted abuse, one even took a u-turn in the busy road and sped up to us to swear and shout. The day after that, the most horrific threats of torture and murder were posted on our facebook page and I knew I didn’t have the courage to go out again.
Raise the Flags were obviously trying to identify us and let their people loose on us. I knew that pictures of our supporters had been posted on the RTFS+ page and there were some seriously scary people out there, fantasising about hurting us in the most sick and terrifying ways, and threatening individuals directly, and RTFS+ were obviously encouraging this.
I really believed that when we showed this hate-crime stuff to the police, action would be taken. But again and again they’ve given the message, ‘no crime here’, ‘not a police matter’.
I think this is the bit that makes me feel most scared, when people like this are apparently allowed to threaten, bully, damage public property and cause horrendous distress to people in our town and villages, and no authority seems willing to stop it.
After incidents like the murder of Jo Cox by a random bloke wound up by far-right misinformation, I’ll be honest and say I just didn’t have the nerve to go out de-flagging again; especially without police support, it all felt just too dangerous.
I do what I can to support the work of Lower the Flags Shrewsbury. We all need to unite and stand against the flaggers and their far-right friends.
Germany taught us what happens when they’re allowed to go unopposed, and my parents both joined the armed services to keep this kind of horror out of Britain and out of Europe.
Tony Benn famously said “Every generation has to fight the same battles as every other”.
In Birmingham we’ve seen a serious injury arising from the violence of the flag supporters. I’m not physically brave, but hope to see our whole community come out and support the removal of these flags, that are raised not in celebration of anything, but in hate and anger.
There are many more of us than of them. I hope that people will stand together to stop them before it’s too late.
Petition for Councillors in Shropshire to act on the removal of flags from lampposts put up by people like this pair. Please sign and share on behalf of Lower the Flags Shrewsbury. #LowertheFlags https://t.co/98RQvemilH
Well done to ‘Lower the Flags Shrewsbury’ for their efforts, seen here being pounced on by a couple of Flag Shaggers. One of them (with crazy eyes) using the Ryan Bridge technique of using intimidation, then saying out loud 'I feel seriously threatened', the big girls blowse. Crazy eyes, goes on to pull the scarf from the face of one of the group of litter pickers. The van as you can see was left causing an obstruction on a busy highway. It appears to have the name JC Cars and Commercial’s on it which corresponds with the numberplate JC69CAC or similar. Anyone know them in the North Shropshire area, they may not have the companies permission to use this vehicle or the requisite insurance cover?
@Buccaneers His loyalty to this franchise was taken advantage w promises only kept for 3 seasons. He built a HOF career in spite of the mediocrity he was constantly surrounded with. Such a fucking travesty. #LowerTheFlags
This is one of the most powerful songs about the futility of war and disillusion about blind patriotism.
