Maybe I’m wrong, but I unironically can’t think of a time when it’s wholesome to fly the English flag.
The only exception to the rule is this geezer:
Same energy as
Al Jazeera microphone
Where is this? Is he an Englander on vacation?
At the World Cup a couple of years or so ago, another bunch of England fans started chanting pro Palestine slogans to an Israeli news channel, was a surprisingly good vibe overall lmao
This was from the FIFA World Cup IIRC.
World Cup in Qatar
I often forget that England has its own flag.
I think it’s kind of neat how the Union Jack is composed of its member states’ flags layered on top of each other. Of course,
, but neat trick.The USSR should have done something like that, or not, I honestly don’t like flags.
It’s a little more difficult when you have 21 states. The USSR did a theme in the other direction. They took the USSR flag and added stuff to it to make the individual member states flags.
they could’ve done the barcode like that rejected eu one
Wow, that is something.
I like the simplicity of the hammer, sickle, and star on red.
I love that technically it’s a red star on a red background. The yellow star shape is the outline of the red star.
When it’s burning
Acceptable times to fly the English Flag
When Ireland, Scotland and Wales are free, flying the English flag will be wholesome because it will mean there is no more Great Britain.
When it’s used to represent the English language, though I suppose that’s more often icons on websites rather than physical flags.
On a related note, the only language that should ever be represented with the American flag is ASL.
I think
has utility for English (Simplified).No, no, I want to see Seppo hearies click their flag thinking it’ll take them to the Simplified English page, only to be met with
you are not wrong.
No surprise seeing the police comfort a fascist
For more entertainment look up what happened in Blackpool when the fash came to town yesterday without checking the events calendar.
post a link
So apparently the fash didn’t check what else was happening in Blackpool this weekend because if they had, they would have known that Rebellion Festival was on, a yearly (mostly old school) punk fest that gets about 8000 punks every year and is a well known institution in Blackpool. It didn’t go very well for them. Some of the spicier videos have been taken down (probably good opsec on the punks part) but there’s still a few up which aren’t too incriminating and have spread everywhere.
(Apologies for the lack of XCancel links, it’s 403ing for me today)
A bunch of fash decided to try and push into the centre where the punks were and ended up being pushed back several streets and getting some licks too. Here’s a short video. Seeing racist lads decide to have a go and then immediately regret it when they get clipped or sometimes just shitting themselves when actually confronted and running is pretty great. Also keep an eye out for the racist lad in purple who gets himself stuck amongst the punks who give him a smack, then help him up and send him on his way as he flinches in terror at every punk who shouts in his face.
At one point another mob of a hundred or more fash cornered and surrounded maybe a dozen punks outside a church, pelting them with bottles and chairs for about 15 minutes nonstop as well as running in to have a go. Punks mostly stood there, unflinching, and stared them down while returning chairs to senders (with a lot more accuracy). Video here. Watch the one wannabe boxer run in all black (near the centre of the shot) try to run in and fight one of the punks, doing a bunch of tricky stepping that’s really just a retreat against a guy who just holds his ground look bored, before running back in about ten seconds later and getting nailed in the face with a chair on its return visit. Here’s a decent photo too:
The police took 15 minutes to arrive on police horses and push the fash out of the square completely and when one mounted officer came to bark orders at the punks too a guy in his 50s apparently said “What the fuck took you so long? You not feeding your horse?”.
The punks stayed afterwards to have pints and clean up:
Even as the fash was fizzling out a few decided to hang around and try to find punks on their own, like this guy who stared down at least five of them until they reportedly gave up and fucked off. Excellent tee shirt too:
By the end of the afternoon things were pretty much back to normal in town. Punks carried on partying and hanging around like this lady with her seagull:
Or this busker who played metal riffs at the mounted police all afternoon, apparently including when it was kicking off:
Today at the festival people were selling these tee shirts:
Which if you’re not a Brit of a certain age and don’t know what Teletext was then you’ll have to trust me is a good bit or ask me to explain it in another reply.
Awesome stuff. Fascist goons go looking for easy targets. Accidentally find a mob of hardened Punks waiting for them. We love to see it, don’t we folks?
a Brit of a certain age
I’M ONLY IN MY 30’S YOU CAN’T CALL ME THAT
2nd to last image looks AI generated. I know it isn’t, but the funky street light makes it look like that
Nah, it really looks like that. The busker is a dude called Little John Guelfi who plays every year when Rebellion Fest is on. Here’s a YouTube Short of him welcoming people this weekend on that very spot.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
thanks for the big report back! looks like a great time.
Certified freak, 7 days a week
Lmao, none of them are younger than 45.
his kink must be getting publicly beaten and bloodied. that’s the only way this makes any sense.
A few months back, these losers tried wrecking a pro-Palestine march by throwing Nazi salutes. Idk if they were charged with anything since symbols alone are not illegal in Finland - I think intentional agitation might be illegal? Either way it was funny to watch them make the cameraman remove his Spidey mask
Those nerds look like they’re like 15 years old
They might be college age. Who knows though. I’m sure being fascist ages you rapidly
The guy with the English flag in the OP is actually only 25 years old
