Dog whistle flag

Dog whistle flag has appeared on a lamppost down shadwell road. Anyone fancy taking this down? They would have my eternal thanks! It’s too high for someone to reach without ladders.

People try and defend this shit and ignore what this entire rhetoric brings. just a couple of days ago one of the flag shaggers threw red paint all over an immigrant families home and an old disabled woman’s car in eastney.

Whenever the 99% are divided against each other, the 1% billionaires will continue to do what they want unquestioned and hoard the worlds resources. Anyone who thinks there's not enough houses or resources, ask yourself why, we're one of the richest countries in the world. A ton of corporations and billionaires pay no tax in this country. Politicians sold contracts to their friends and bled the country dry with minimal results. People fleeing war are not the problem.

Hate does nothing to help anything, it just leads to innocent people being harmed.

Making the English flag a sign of resistance won't end well.

Not near this but totally support someone taking all these down. (Sell them straight back to the bigots)

lots of twats in this subreddit, much love. anyone that doesn't see the flags becoming a dog whistle is bordering on ignorant icl. it's so obvious at this point. for anyone confused, please just Google what a dog whistle is and the meaning behind it. it's virtually becoming the same thing. they claim it's just being patriotic but there's definitive hate behind it. so depressing.

I think it's the intent behind the hanging of the flag.
