#union-jack — Public Fediverse posts

A portrait of #KingCharlesIII to display, the #UnionJack to fly, a “patriotic curriculum” with at least 60 percent of assessed history content to focus on Britain ... #BrexitBritain
#History colored by #Farage and his #ReformUK ... "patriotism"

Third time lucky? Here's a final attempt at a "Unity Jack" - a version of the UK flag intended to symbolise unity arising out of diversity. SVG and PNG format files are available at https://cmacleod.me.uk/oddsnsods/unityjackflag.htm .

The Most British Office in London

Someone chose to put two Union Jack armchairs and an exercise ball in their office window for all of London to see. I spotted this walking past an office block and the arrangement stopped me mid-stride. The chairs are properwingbacks, upholstered in full flag regal...

So I posted my "Unity Jack" in a flag-design group on Reddit, and it was flamed to incineration - https://redd.it/1sc3tsk - so I've now dialled it back a bit by reverting the whole background to the original dark blue. Again, it's available in SVG format at https://cmacleod.me.uk/oddsnsods/unityjack.svg .

Sitting on a Sea Turtle in Piccadilly

We’re near Piccadilly Circus, there’s a big painted sea turtle sculpture on a blue plinth, part of a public art trail supported by Deborah Meaden and Steven Bartlett, no less, and absolutely nobody sitting on it is paying the slightest bit of attention to it. They’re all on their phones.

The star of the show for me is the person in the middle, who has gone full Union Jack: hat, bag, the works, paired with red tracksuit bottoms and a set of brightly coloured trainers that honestly deserve their own photo.

Love London for street photography!

Hype for the Future 75D: The Union Jack 🇬🇧

Hype for the Future 48D: Flags for the Emoji System

🇬🇧 So now we’re at the point where simply raising the Union Jack could get you debanked.

According to reports, patriotic Britons are being warned that showing national pride may soon be treated as a political statement serious enough for banks to shut down your accounts. Think about that for a moment, the flag of our country, the Union Jack, waved at sporting events, at remembrance services, at Jubilee celebrations… now seen as something risky.

This is madness. Debanking should not be a weapon to silence people’s beliefs or strip away their ability to live. Access to banking is a necessity in the modern world, without it, you can’t pay rent, get wages, or survive in basic dignity. To threaten ordinary people with financial exclusion just for being proudly British is nothing short of authoritarianism creeping in through the back door.

We’re told this is about “safety” or “extremism.” But where does it stop? Who decides what’s too patriotic, too political, too controversial? Once a line like this is crossed, it can be moved again and again until nothing is safe.

If patriotism is now enough to have your bank account closed, then we’re not living in a free society anymore. We’re living in one where control is the goal, and every symbol, every word, every act of identity becomes a potential trigger for punishmen

This isn’t about right or left, it isn’t about parties or policies. It’s about whether we as citizens still have the right to stand proudly under our own flag without fear of being erased from the financial system.

Following recent events here in the UK, especially those of last weekend in London, this week I've written about the need for liberal-minded Brits to reclaim our national flags.

I'm very grateful to 𝐿𝑖𝑏𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑙 𝐷𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑐𝑟𝑎𝑡 𝑉𝑜𝑖𝑐𝑒 for publishing my words. You can read the full article here:

Big John on the people putting up upside down Union Jack flags in the UK.

Anyone in Kiwiland want to explain what I'm seeing here?

It looks like indigenous New Zealanders claiming that their version of Christianity must be imposed on New Zealand.

Looks like they want a nationalist Christian theocracy.
?

Pretty sure that Christianity was imported.
What's up with the colonialist religion and the #UnionJack being pushed.

Are they fascists?
