@@viper_fan all the more reason for it to be the flag of St George then! But for your information The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) is an island country that sits north-west of mainland Europe. It is made up of mainland Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland) and the northern part of the island of Ireland (Northern Ireland). Although the UK is a fully independent sovereign state, the 4 nations that make it up are also countries in their own right and have a certain extent of autonomy.
@@viper_fan Correct, it's a UNION 🤝 and they want to ban the UNION JACK 🇬🇧 which symbolizes the bringing together of that union. Therefore, it is the Green Party which is being divisive! 1:23 I propose that if Reform UK is elected, they ban all political banners that Green Party members proudly display in public, especially leading up to elections. The reason for this is that they are divisive and treacherous, almost like a domestic terror organisation, and that is certainly bad for local communities and the nation as a whole. We don't accept Isis or Al-Qaeda flags or their islamist ideologies and we shouldn't accept Green Party flags or woke ideology. BAN GREEN WOKERY TERROR‼️🚫🦹🟢🏳️🌈 p.s. I am obviously NOT affiliated with the Green Wokey Party IN ANY WAY. - My handle is just coincidental...
They have never been for environmentalism, they peddle Communism ( this is a prime example of it ) - they are advocates for earth closets and feudalism which given the fact we have 68 million + is untenable. This is a prime example of showing how the hard left despises Britain, its culture and history and simp for any other one. So glad that they are nothing but a protest vote party, there will never be a Green PM.
These mini politicians all think they are royalty. I am a Brit expat in Western Canada and worked for a only year at the council of my city; as apart from not being a labour union fan, these people demanded such ridiculous things be provided to and for them; don’t forget like all politicians, they work for the public who pay their very good wages, we are in fact their bosses). Something has to be done to turn us back into sanity.
I am in total shock. I came into this country as an immigrant and I will happily display the UK flag. If you cannot display your own country flag in your own country, where in the world can you display it? Why should anyone in UK require permission to display the UK flag??? I honestly don't get it
This green councillor is too far gone. Sack him immediately. How is it divisive to display your own flag in your own country? Aren't the immigrants supposed to integrate and become British? That is our flag. My goodness we need a task force to weed these dangerous types out of all government and civil service.
In the uk…the Welsh proudly fly their flags everywhere, as do the Scot’s and the Cornish…. But upset can be caused by flying the English flag of St George, flown on all English Heritage sites…. One also flies on a 15 ft pole in my front garden, and will remain there…. … There is unfair bias against the indigenous English currently…..
I am from Dawley in Telford and flew the Union Jack on a flag pole for 11 years until I had to take it down to make way for a new shed, it will be going back up this summer and you will be able to view it from Springfield road when it does ✌

@@Xanderman Yes but this country is PRIMARILY BRITISH, and always will be. Being the host nation I think we should be allowed to show our proud flag- above any other flags as a matter of basic principle.
The Union Jack in Britain is the nation's flag. If it's thought to be offensive then those people should leave Britain for the British in their own homeland. They exclude themselves.

My mate's a German. He's 75 years old and lived in this country since he was 7. In the 30 odd years I've known him, he has always driven his car with a German flag sticking out of one window and an English flag out of the other window. He also has both flags on large flagpoles in his garden. The council recently called on him and ordered him to take the English flag down and told him he could leave the German one up. I said, "so what did you say to them?" He replied, "I told them, the English may have beat us in world wars 1 and 2 but they won't beat this German if they want to start world war 3 with me." And the flags are still up. 😂
No one will ever tell me to take the English flag down in my own country.i would do time for not taking it down.the ones who keep voting for the Traitors of Westminster are to blame.. vote reform 🏴🇬🇧
down what, Elsie? Down* is a pre_position calling for something to go after it or for it to precede and prepositions look so ugly flapping around pointlessly in the wind with nothing to precede I know you have not the faintest idea but what do you mean by " Own" and what makes you suppose that anywhere is whatever you mean by(but have not the faintest idea)" my own country"? Do you also have " your own" *air* little Elsie? what makes " you own" your own? You have not the faintest idea? Ah but little elsie I already know that just as some insignificant little scribbler knows he can control you as his slave as you have just demonstrated, you poor slavish little Elsie.
This is what I’ve been talking about for quite a few years now, so many foreigners coming into the country has made our views fractured we don’t all think the same about things anymore when it comes to England our country. suddenly it doesn’t seem to be our country anymore but if you go to these countries that they come from they will fly their flag with pride
Keep on flying our flag in your cab. We are all right behind you. We should all have a Union Jack in our gardens. America has their flag everywhere, why shouldn't we?
I've never been a flag waver but the Anti white, Anti British politics and media and culture in the UK is starting to see push back. Well done to that man. I know who to call for a taxi now as well.
When I was born, the war was not long behind us and there was everything to play for. House building was on the go, repairing and replacing after the Blitz. Job prospects were improving and technologies back then were improving our prospects. Sadly now after so many governments have failed us and there are more treasonous baskets in government than you can shake a stick at. They are constantly trying to demoralise us to complete the defeat. Yes, when I was born Britain was a GREAT place to live.
I have been to many countries eg Poland, Thailand, Denmark plus others where they proudly (and rightly so) display their national flag and nobody would dare tell them not to. But here it is deemed as 'offensive' and possibly incendiary to do it for fear of offending people from other nations (a lot of which are no doubt here illegally). This is just one of many reasons why I am moving to Thailand soon, I'm sick of how weak this once great nation has become.
“Needlessly divisive”! 😳 If the national flag of the country that you live in offends you… WTF?!!? We’ve gone utterly mad! What other countries in the world do this?
Every private hire cab near me has a flag of Pakistan in it. When travelling abroad you see the national flags on many buildings etc. So why is it racist to fly our own nation flag here?
ALL English citizens should where a button badge with a Union flag and we should play the National Anthem at ALL public events. We need to re-introduce patriotism so we can instantly see where our allegiance lies!
Its the national flag it should be able to be displayed anywhere in Britain without complaints. Anyone who does not respect our right to display our flag should be told where to go.

The uk is not a country.
@@viper_fan all the more reason for it to be the flag of St George then! But for your information The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) is an island country that sits north-west of mainland Europe. It is made up of mainland Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland) and the northern part of the island of Ireland (Northern Ireland). Although the UK is a fully independent sovereign state, the 4 nations that make it up are also countries in their own right and have a certain extent of autonomy.
@@viper_fan If the UK is not a country, what is it?
@@viper_fan Correct, it's a UNION 🤝 and they want to ban the UNION JACK 🇬🇧 which symbolizes the bringing together of that union. Therefore, it is the Green Party which is being divisive!
1:23 I propose that if Reform UK is elected, they ban all political banners that Green Party members proudly display in public, especially leading up to elections.
The reason for this is that they are divisive and treacherous, almost like a domestic terror organisation, and that is certainly bad for local communities and the nation as a whole.
We don't accept Isis or Al-Qaeda flags or their islamist ideologies and we shouldn't accept Green Party flags or woke ideology.
BAN GREEN WOKERY TERROR‼️🚫🦹🟢🏳️🌈
p.s. I am obviously NOT affiliated with the Green Wokey Party IN ANY WAY.

It’s the flag of the nation. It’s not political. It’s bizarre to live in a country where it own flag cannot be flown.
Well at least it’s exposed what the Green Party stands for.
They have never been for environmentalism, they peddle Communism ( this is a prime example of it ) - they are advocates for earth closets and feudalism which given the fact we have 68 million + is untenable. This is a prime example of showing how the hard left despises Britain, its culture and history and simp for any other one. So glad that they are nothing but a protest vote party, there will never be a Green PM.
It's their manifesto policy to rejoin nacccyjernany.
That didn't give it away?
Yes , made them look rather stupid .
It's Foreign NGOs directing them.
You only have to read their policies.
Proud of this man for standing up for his displays. Huge support for this gentleman! ❤❤❤
🇬🇧❤️
Well done Basil. Thank you for your service
Shocking attitude from these nonentities! Anyone should be able to display our flag in OUR country!
It’s all part of suppressing any form of nationalism. It’s the globalist way.

Unfortunately, too much pandering to minorities who are fast multiplying and giving the government the jitters.
These mini politicians all think they are royalty. I am a Brit expat in Western Canada and worked for a only year at the council of my city; as apart from not being a labour union fan, these people demanded such ridiculous things be provided to and for them; don’t forget like all politicians, they work for the public who pay their very good wages, we are in fact their bosses). Something has to be done to turn us back into sanity.

“It’s unfair to display only one nation’s flag…” When you’re IN that nation?! Who elected these fools?

That used to mean something now people think the UK and think of GBnews and their bigoted viewers.
Your in Britain we are British it’s our flag if you don’t like it leave it’s the national flag
Stopping an English man being patriotic and flying his country's flag is a disgrace!

When woke globalist decide so.
It’s not wrong,, fck the establishment for lying about this,, they are full of shyte.

Thank you and it's a pleasure to have you in the UK
The only thing that is divisive is that Green Councillor’s attitude! Disgusting!
This green councillor is too far gone. Sack him immediately. How is it divisive to display your own flag in your own country? Aren't the immigrants supposed to integrate and become British? That is our flag. My goodness we need a task force to weed these dangerous types out of all government and civil service.

@johnwoodward4319 Absolutely, and to think this Jodrell Banker gets paid out of public funds.
sighs, for " green" just read runt(or labour) they are all the same shit in different packaging, all followers of that queer religion modernism, or that insane religion of climate-change/global warming_ism, which is based on a nonsense and a misunderstanding of what might perhaps be call knowing or science.

My mate's a German. He's 75 years old and lived in this country since he was 7. In the 30 odd years I've known him, he has always driven his car with a German flag sticking out of one window and an English flag out of the other window. He also has both flags on large flagpoles in his garden. The council recently called on him and ordered him to take the English flag down and told him he could leave the German one up. I said, "so what did you say to them?" He replied, "I told them, the English may have beat us in world wars 1 and 2 but they won't beat this German if they want to start world war 3 with me." And the flags are still up. 😂
Good on you basil. Don’t let anyone stop you. My father had service and like him, you are a hero.
If anyone finds our flag "offensive" then may I suggest those people sod off, simple.
Thank you sir for your service and everything you have ever sacrificed !

When was Britain ever great? 😂 comedy gold
When I was born, the war was not long behind us and there was everything to play for. House building was on the go, repairing and replacing after the Blitz. Job prospects were improving and technologies back then were improving our prospects. Sadly now after so many governments have failed us and there are more treasonous baskets in government than you can shake a stick at. They are constantly trying to demoralise us to complete the defeat. Yes, when I was born Britain was a GREAT place to live.

I have been to many countries eg Poland, Thailand, Denmark plus others where they proudly (and rightly so) display their national flag and nobody would dare tell them not to. But here it is deemed as 'offensive' and possibly incendiary to do it for fear of offending people from other nations (a lot of which are no doubt here illegally). This is just one of many reasons why I am moving to Thailand soon, I'm sick of how weak this once great nation has become.
we live in Spain and the Spanish flàg is proudly displayed everywhere. Wokism gone to far this time.
