It gets ripped down too quickly if I put it below! You can see the old cable ties from when I made that mistake.

I am SHOCKED that the patriots who hung the Union Flag did not respect proper flag protocol.

I raised some pride flags next to the flags around my area. It really kills the racist message. Somebody else has also gone round attaching a “No hate” sign to the bottoms of every flagged lamppost.

I never noticed the chlorine in tap water until I went on holiday somewhere that didn’t chlorinate their water supply. When I got back, my water absolutely reeked of chlorine. Just one of those things you get used to I suppose.

I’ve been putting pride flags on lampposts in my town, alongside the Union Jacks. Most got taken down quickly, but there was one that survived for a couple of weeks until some twat finally tore it down a few days ago. Was a shame. Had to go out last night and put another one back up.

No it’s the opposite in this case. This article is about a company crying because they want to charge more

On the internet, I agree with you, everybody jumps on one another at the slightest chance. It sucks. In the real world, people have a lot more nuance. I’m not gonna immediately throw a milkshake at somebody for having an England flag up, and most people probably wouldn’t bat an eye.

I’m not gleeful about the flag thing at all. I like it when we win the Euros and I can fly a flag and be proud for a short while. I once went on holiday in Portugal during the World Cup and had little England flags on my car and a few people shouted “Inglaterra!” at us and it was great.

To be fair it was years ago, I guess the whole MAGA thing has changed the landscape

I once tried to explain to an American about how English/British flags are seen over here, and they really couldn’t understand what I was talking about.

There’s nothing inherently racist about flying a flag and showing a bit of pride, but for as long as I’ve been alive, I only ever see racists flying flags (outside of World Cup/Coronation etc). After decades of racists flying flags, I can’t help but think that you’re a racist if you’re flying an England flag. Everybody in England kinda knows this, and the ones who disagree are suspect. It’s a shame I suppose. I think if we really wanted to reverse this, IMO, you’d have to do something like fly an England flag but also fly a pride flag on the same pole. It’s definitely NOT going to be reversed by a guy who calls himself “Andy Saxon” who used to be part of the English Defence League. That’s gonna make it worse.

There’s a lesson I learnt from playing team games: If your teammate makes a bad call that you disagree with, you should still follow them 100%. Going all-in on a questionable decision is almost always better than second guessing each other.

I think it applies here, and it’s why right wingers and religions are so effective. They don’t care if their arguments are flawed or their leader is a rapist, they’re jumping into that fight every time.

Just spit it out already. Stop being weird and cryptic, we can’t read your mind. What’s wrong with this poster?

Actually if you faff around with vouchers and buy an extra pizza and change the garlic bread to wedges oh and spend another £5 to make it into the deal, you can bring the price down to only slightly overpriced!

OP needs to make like a tree and get out of there

Hey baby, I’m self aware. I got that headspace app, because I care

Looks like they just did it for a laugh

You mean you don’t cut it open and scoop?

My dream is to have two dishwashers so I don’t need to unload. Just pull dishes out of the clean one when needed and put back into the dirty one

I was behind somebody in the queue at Screwfix who was asking for advice after their landlord had glossed the inside of their BATH. What a lunatic.

Its technically the same as renting, but there’s a lot of stupid historical reasons that make it awkward. You could be a leaseholder with a 1000 year contract costing a few pennies per year. Which makes you, for all intents and purposes, an owner of the property.
