    Same. Southeast London, zero flags.
    Multicultural, a monolithic labour council since 2010.

    I read somewhere that a flag made of fabric on a flagpole looks quite noble (okay not all of them, ref Germany 1930s), but a load of them on every lamp post just looks like a massive council estate.

    What?! The toothless, tattooed, meatheads round here wouldn't have a clue how to carry a ladder, never mind climb one. Despite their love for getting involved in anything remotely racist, this would be seen as the slippery slope into actual work.

    The strong winds in South Essex have proved too much for many flags which now hang in tatters.

    What a damn shame.

    The cable ties are still looking good though.

    Well the local protests this weekend didnt go ahead apparently.
    The police have been good enough to and I quote "book the protests in" for 11 am this Saturday.
    I might go along for a laugh as it will be funny to watch Warwickshire Police try and manage this when it gets out of hand which it probably will!
    Oh hang on apparently there will be marching! Anyone who wants to watch me try and march should come along for a good giggle - it will be hilarious!!!!!!

    There was a graffiti festival in my local city over the weekend.

    Most of the art was fantastic but murals of Spitfires and Britania are perhaps a little inflammatory at the moment.

    Yes, Palestinian flags locally and then surrounded by a sea of st George's in the blue collar areas.

    I travelled to the Cotswolds at the weekend, distinct lack of flags but lots of talk about 'Sir Nigel'.
