That must have “distinctive aesthetic” for the authoritarian politician in 2026.

Most people do not share the political views and aims of Raise The Colours. Most people do not hate migrants. Most people do not want their neighbourhood covered in a sea of red, white and blue. What is so difficult to understand about this?
For decades UK politicians & the rw media have stoked racism by scapegoating migrants & minorities. For decades the far right have been thwarted in their attempts to turn this to their advantage. Now they are close to power & Starmer seems determined to help them over the line.
#StandUpToRacism
The attack came days after two Sikh taxi drivers suffered a racist attack in Wolverhampton.
Asylum seekers welcome here! Far right off our streets! ✊
Calls to 'Stop the boats', claims that migrants are 'illegal and protests at asylum Hotels directly lead to racist attacks. And Farage, Badenoch and Starmer are feeding that hatred.
Join this vigil in solidarity with a young Sikh woman who suffered a brutal racist attack in Oldbury last week.
There is an anti-racist majority in this country. The far right do not go unopposed. There are people in this country who are standing in solidarity with refugees and against what the far right represent.

🤯 While @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social & the Government insist there is no rubbish left in Birmingham & refuse to negotiate, residents and workers suffer. Time for Labour to sort this mess out!

Last year, UK billionaires’ wealth grew by £35 million a day. Meanwhile, the fire service has been cut to the bone and is facing more cuts.
It's time for the richest in society to invest in public services through a wealth tax.
True pride is inclusive. The best way to show love for Birmingham is not through one symbol alone, but through celebrating everyone who calls this city home.

If BCC had put as much time and money into resolving this dispute as they have trying to break the strike, this would have been over ages ago.

A Banksy mural painter on the Royal Courts of Justice in London depicts a judge swinging to hit a protestor with a blank sign with his gavel, symbolising the state brutality unleashed on protestors following the proscription of Palestine Action.
They can cover up a mural but their shame remains for all to see.

2 mini-islands on my road now painted to be Saint George's flags.
I don't think quoting legislation about what the council does or doesn't allow in terms of flag poles etc is an adequate or even helpful response to what is going on in the UK at the moment.
