As the Labour government continues to face growing criticism over a number of issues, from cracking down on free speech to its migration policies, many Britons are concerned about their country&#8217;s future.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Starmer Labour Government\u2019s poll numbers are collapsing. Now in the past, this would mean that the fortunes of of the Conservative Party, (Tories), would be increasing, however they aren\u2019t doing so well either. What is happening is that the Reform Party\u2019s fortunes appear to be increasing. The Reform party\u2019s leader, Nigel Farage has come out in full support of waving the British flags.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>The issue simmered over the summer amid concerns of a growing rift between the ruling elites and members of the public centered on the nation\u2019s flag.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The literal ruling elites, which includes King Chuck the Wimp, are flat out not listening to the people. They still consider subjects, not citizens, only one level above serfs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>The debate, while ongoing for several years, gained new life since anti-Israel protests erupted after Hamas\u2019 mass terror attack against Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, when Britain saw a proliferation of Palestinian flags across the country.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Those flags were from the Muslims and Leftard Labour supporters primarily. Both groups have a long history of anti-semitism.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Tensions were further heightened over the display of Palestinian flags on public buildings, with critics arguing it represents an abandonment of traditional British values, and that immigrant communities are dictating community values.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/26ab2e98580745272e9d121ce1f5d2fb.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40186\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/26ab2e98580745272e9d121ce1f5d2fb.jpg?resize=228%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"228\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Several councils in major cities bowed to public pressure.

What little I know about them, they make the worst American HOA look downright benevolent and competent. It also shows that patriotism, at least among certain political classes is dead.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Colin Brazier, a commentator on British culture, is calling for a &#8220;strategy of national cohesion&#8221; with a ban on foreign flags on taxpayer-funded buildings. He said that Britain should follow America\u2019s model of nation-building as the U.K. wrestles with &#8220;imported disintegration&#8221; and attempts to return to Britain\u2019s core values. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Honestly, I think it\u2019s to late and I\u2019m not alone in believing this. However, there are those in Britain who have started fighting back.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>In August, a group of concerned citizens started \u2018Operation Raise the Colours, which called for people to put their flags up where they live and in their everyday lives to rally Britons. The online movement encouraged Britons to continue putting up England\u2019s St. George&#8217;s Cross and Union Jack flags.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I <a href=\"https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/?p=45585\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mentioned this in a post<\/a> last August. The problem has been the British left, which considers Stalin to be a right winger. These people are the same ones that started the final collapse of the British Empire after World War II. (And did a lot to try to turn Britain into another Communist hellhole)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Yet, the sudden resurgence of British and English flags has been met with suspicion and criticism from the left, with many angered at the proliferation of the flags, complaining they represent anti-migration and far-right sentiment.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I would say this is partly correct. Britain has been suffering the effects of mass migrations from Muslim countries and refusing to deal with the issues Muslims can bring with them. The grooming gangs were predominantly Muslim and the police not only wouldn\u2019t deal with these rapists, they actually went after the victims and those trying to help them. As for \u201cFar-right\u201d sentiment? Yeah, what the Eurotrash call far right are, by American standards, rather leftist.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shocked-face.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-20636\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shocked-face.png?resize=300%2C225&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shocked-face.png?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/shocked-face.png?w=400&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>The controversy over the flags continued after Prime Minister Keir Starmer recognized a Palestinian state in September. A few days later, Starmer delivered an impassioned speech to the Labour Party\u2019s annual conference as his center-left party pushed back against critics who said it had abandoned patriotism.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Starmer is a communist. There are rumors that he has suppressed any actions regarding the grooming gangs or crimes committed by a certain religious group. He\u2019s also been locking people up for expressing their views if they don\u2019t coincide with the governments. Starmer is also seeing the writing on the wall and knows that he and the Labour party are in trouble.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Speaking to flag-waving supporters, Starmer tried to reprise his party\u2019s patriotic roots, urging a cheering crowd, &#8220;Let\u2019s fly all our flags, conference, because they are our flags, they belong to all of us, and we will never surrender them. . . . And with resolve, with respect, with the flag in our hands, we will renew this country.&#8221; He also made clear the flag was for all citizens, noting, &#8220;Our flags\u00a0\u2014 flying proudly, as we celebrate differences and oppose racism.&#8221;<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/originals\/5b\/ff\/99\/5bff997110e9330b2c9d29dd45e8d5f1.gif?resize=498%2C278&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"498\" height=\"278\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Yet opposition politicians were quick to dismiss Starmer&#8217;s flag speech, with one Member of Parliament, Lee Anderson, Reform\u2019s chief whip, saying: &#8220;You\u2019re more likely to see a Labour member fly the flag of Palestine than a St. George\u2019s flag. That tells you all you need to know,&#8221; the Daily Telegraph reported.<\/p>\n<p>Not long ago, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britbrief.co.uk\/politics\/defence\/ww2-veteran-100-says-victory-over-nazis-was-waste-of-time.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a story came out regarding a comment by a British World War II veteran<\/a> who was turning 101.

He had a lot to say, and none of it complementary to the current political class.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>His sharpest criticism, however, was reserved for the nation&#8217;s political leaders. He contrasted today&#8217;s politicians with figures like Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher. &#8216;They led,&#8217; he asserted. &#8216;They didn&#8217;t just try to keep the job to the next day&#8230; They believed what they were trying to put over.&#8217;<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/48\/6f\/86\/486f86d2ceaa4929dabe767a32251806.jpg?resize=400%2C465&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"400\" height=\"465\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is a biting comment to people like Starmer. Here you have someone who literally risked his life to keep Britain free now saying that the whole effort has turned out to be a waste. Sadly, at least with regards to the formally Great Britain, I agree with him. Things were heading downhill late in Queen Elizabeth\u2019s reign and King Chuckles has done nothing to try and reverse things. I\u2019m not to hopeful about Prince William either.<\/p>\n<p>When you have a large segment of a certain ethnic community equating the British flag with racism, you have a complete failure by the government and society in assimilating those migrants into British culture. (Such as it is) The next election isn\u2019t for a few years yet, unless there is a no confidence vote held and Starmer loses it. Currently, the betting is on the Reform Party taking control and Nigel Farage becoming Prime Minister. However, I\u2019m not sure even he can turn things around. Britain and Europe are, in the opinion of many, doomed. I wish them luck though.<\/p>\n<p>Thatisall<\/p>\n<span id=\"post-ratings-46265\" class=\"post-ratings\" data-nonce=\"4b9ea0ba01\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_46265_1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"1 Star\" title=\"1 Star\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(46265, 1, '1 Star');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(3.7, 4, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_46265_2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"2 Stars\" title=\"2 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(46265, 2, '2 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(3.7, 4, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_46265_3\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"3 Stars\" title=\"3 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(46265, 3, '3 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(3.7, 4, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_46265_4\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_half.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"4 Stars\" title=\"4 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(46265, 4, '4 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(3.7, 4, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_46265_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_off.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"5 Stars\" title=\"5 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(46265, 5, '5 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(3.7, 4, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/> (<strong>3<\/strong> votes, average: <strong>3.67<\/strong> out of 5)<br \/><span class=\"post-ratings-text\" id=\"ratings_46265_text\"><\/span><\/span><span id=\"post-ratings-46265-loading\" class=\"post-ratings-loading\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/loading.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" class=\"post-ratings-image\" \/>Loading...<\/span>\n<p><i><b>~The Angry Webmaster~<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good day all.
