Good, letting the graffiti stand has emboldend these twats.
I say this as someone pro flying the flag.

This isn’t patriotism, it’s intimidation and vandalism. Most likely harassment too directed at whoever lives in the house.

Brave patriots at it again, definitely just being proud of the flag not meant to intimate the people…
>The masked man also recorded the occupants through the window while shouting he was going to “spray your face” and chanting “England, England”.
Oh…
Im starting to think our brave patriots might actually organised racists.

This is bloody horrendous.
There are flags on the lampposts on our street and that’s all very pretty, but this is getting into fucking Kristallnacht territory. I hope they throw the book at them. This isn’t Facebook posts or hurty words, this is terrorising innocent civilians in their own home.

The dregs at it again harrasing folk pretending to be patriots of some kind

I’m all for the <actual> flags, but this is straight up vandalism. And depending on who lives in the house / intent possibly more serious.

I wonder if there’s anyone stupid enough to still genuinely believe this flag campaign is about uniting the country and reclaiming the flag?

These are the kind of people I would love to see deported…they don’t belong to Britain

It’s almost like the flag campaign had an ulterior motive all along.

Oh my god, we can’t even spray paint the England flag where we want these days! Proof that Keir Starmers Britain is a police state and against patriotism!!! /s

How thick do you need to be to not only film yourself doing this but then post it on social media with made up accusations about the victims?!

Just patriots who care deeply about the country. Honest guv.

Haven’t seen the video, but if they said ‘for all I care’ while spraying those windows, they can still run as Reform UK councillors in Carnforth

This is the kind of lawless future you have to look forward to under Farage.
The world they’re projecting now true it one of the future.

The line was crossed about a week and a half ago, did no one else see that video of the group in Basildon painting flags above those shops and harassing a woman in a hijab who was with her child.
It was always thinly veiled racism and never actual patriotism. I’m amazed people have let themselves be duped into ever thinking it was about simple regional pride.

Arrested? For patriotism. This country has gone to the dogs. Two tier justice. /s

How convenient for the government that these things happen now and also get huge media attention, this discredits any opposition to the government’s policies on illegal immigration and distracts discourse from any real topic like budget plans, etc.
Anyone against “illegal boats” will be just lumped together with “ah, I’m sure you’re painting those red crosses on sidewalks, right?”

The logical end point of “operation raise the flag”

Another fine example of the ‘true English race’ in action. Doesn’t it make you feel proud to have such fine, upstanding examples, representing our land of hope and glory.

When it is borderline racism, the headlines say “arrested for displaying England flag”.
When it is undeniable, actual racism, it suddenly becomes “spraying a red cross”?

This is really not what St George’s Cross represents and it’s shameful.

Just saying, as an American, this is pretty vile
Kind of reminds me of people vandalizing Japanese people’s houses after Pearl harbor. There’s free speech, and then there’s being a racist fuck, and this solidly falls into the latter

Haven’t read the article yet, but I’m going to take a guess the homes sprayed where ones belonging either to people who aren’t white or people who have immigrated here.

They can’t even spray in straight lines. Probably drunk.

It’s still incredibly ironic that the people doing this have no idea that St. george was a turkish guy who never even came to the british Isles.
