    Operation Raise the Colours is a 2025 campaign movement in the United Kingdom, consisting of groups that display the Union Flag and the Saint George’s Cross in public places, as well as the flags of the other constituent countries of the UK. The campaign began in August 2025 and has particularly aroused controversy around the Flag of England due to its history of use by anti-immigration nationalists. It has involved tying flags to lampposts and painting them onto mini-roundabouts.

    Supporters of the campaign say that this is with the aim of promoting patriotism. It has found support from members of the Conservative Party, Reform UK, Advance UK, and the Labour Party. The campaign has also been supported by several figures and organisations associated with the far-right, including the fascist political party Britain First and the anti-Islam campaigner Tommy Robinson.

    Opinion polling has shown that both white and ethnic minority adults surveyed tend to see the campaign as primarily being an expression of an anti-migrant or anti-ethnic minority message, rather than of patriotism

    Just in case anyone was feeling sorry for this gammon crab-party

      groups that display the Union Flag and the Saint George’s Cross

      There’s some difference between these two. The first is cringe but otherwise run of the mill tory, the second is EDL shit. US equivalent would be flying the official US flag vs flying the Confederate flag.

    Critical support to the ladder.

    Imagine living in Bristol and thinking that the place doesn’t feel British enough.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

– PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE –

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
