And why is this being related to rascism? It's not like people are burning the flag of other countries in videos.

Racism masqueraded as patriotism and showing support for the Lionesses beating Spain in the football.

Same with the flags on lamposts, it's all really protesting about the migrant hotels.

If you watch it on the news, look at the protestors - it's always the mouth breathing morons who complain about immigration being too high and that they should be kicked out, but then they'll get taxis, takeaways, use the NHS etc and not even realise their own hypocrisy

I haven't seen much of this in my area but there is a footbridge over a dual carriageway which has the union jack hanging on it. I don't if whoever did it selected that flag on purpose or just did it slightly wrong.

Probably just a little bit less racist?
