      I recently visited Malta and Gozo and I was a bit shocked to see the number of UK flags spread across the islands.

      They celebrated their rich history which involved British colonialism and I honestly felt proud seeing them abroad as a British Asian.

      The intent of the flags being put up in our streets is malicious, but if we’re able to repurpose the message of our flags being put up, then we take away their power.

      I need a word for my pessimism. Something like “heteropessimism.”

      “Multicultural pessimism,” “Multipessimism” ?

      A non judgment feel of doom on multiculturalism. The idealism on having large groups of people together in one nation with conflicting cultures, goals, history, politics, flags, art, philosophy, customs, language, religions, relationships. It doesn’t even reach a level “what is best” or “who is right.” Just plain doom on peace, trust, cohesion. A Hobbesian game into the ground.

      Imagine moving your whole street to Pakistan and then telling them that their flags made you feel unwelcome. Mind boggling.

      There is actually nothing wrong with flying a flag of your country, if it is done because you love your country. But a lot if these people are doing it with a hatred intention!

      I do find it hypocritical that certain people bang on about integration while at the same time making those trying to integrate feel as unwelcome as possible.

      I’m really beginning to not give a shit. Bored of this now. Offended, not offended, who fucking cares. I wish people would stop antagonising and stop overreacting.

      Unwelcome. Whilst it sits in a council house leeching of the tax payer.

      This is all a bit of a mess isn’t it? 

      Whether or not the flags have been hijacked by far-right movements is kind of besides the point. If the flag of a country you’ve immigrated to makes you feel uncomfortable, you should probably address that rather than ask someone to take the flag down. The article pairing this to KKK symbolism is kind of wild. 

      Supporting a flag for another country being flown in the area is just a double standard. 

      I’m not even a flag shagger, and kind of think flying any flag on a lamppost is silly. But his position is very hypocritical.
