This is the same person:

Edit:
Oh and about it not being about race or anything, here’s his ‘business partner’:

And of course the Limited company he’s using for these donations that ‘100% go into buying and distributing flags’ doesn’t exist:

‘I tell him I have tried looking up his flag company on Companies House, without success.

“It is, it’s in process now,” Bridge tells me.

“Under the name Raise the Colours?” I ask.

“No.”

“What name is it under?”

“Why do you want to find it? This is nothing to do with what we’re doing going forwards.”

I explain that people donating to the cause will want to know it is legitimate, that their money is going to an official organisation and I want to see evidence of that.
“Oh, it’s 100% legitimate,” he tells me and promises to send me the details. They never arrive.

What is available on Companies House are records of a selection of businesses created by Bridge, all operating in the compensation claims arena. In 2016 he launched UK Holiday Claims Ltd, although it was dissolved two years later without filing any accounts. This was around the time the news emerged that Spanish police were investigating Bridge and seven other Brits alleged to have scammed hotels in Magaluf between 2016 and 2017.

The group is suspected of helping British tourists to make bogus compensation claims for food poisoning via a WhatsApp group called UK Holiday Claims, in return for a cut of the money. The court instruction names Bridge as one of the people in the UK who was in charge of processing the false claims gathered in Mallorca.
When I ask Bridge about this, he says “you’ve got that wrong, if you actually read the article it isn’t about me directly.” It’s not clear which article he means but there are several.

One, in the Mirror, describes him as being “at the centre” of the probe and bears his photograph. At the time, he told the paper, “I don’t know why my name has been connected to this. We had a company that dealt with a small number of claims, maybe around five or 10, but the company was shut down as it just wasn’t profitable.”

On the phone to me, he claims the trial has already happened but I tell him I have checked with a journalist in Spain who is familiar with the case, who confirmed it is yet to go ahead.

Growing frustrated, Bridge says “well, that’s nothing to do with what y–you either want to talk about flags or that, I mean this is mental. So you’re obviously from left-wing, and you’re trying to make something that’s not…” He trails off.’

Is this the ex-EDL race killer or someone else also into flags, coincidentally at the same time?

It’s great seeing more of our flags out and about.

Thanks guys.
