Flags.........& Politics.

[cryrst]

It isn’t a simple answer because it depends on why, where and when!

On any national occasion obviously the Union flag. At a rally protesting the treatment of innocent civilians in the Gaza Strip by the IDF or settlers in the West Bank, flying their flag in support seems perfectly ok. We have a near neighbour who flies the Ukrainian flag on a flagpole in his front garden, is that ok? Today I saw a local bus painted in blue and yellow with messages of support for Ukraine and saying there is a donation box on board. Is that ok?

So you can’t answer. It isn’t about context btw!

I gave a very precise answer because it DOES depend on context. Only the simplest of simple minds fails to recognise that.

Seems you can put up just about any flag except the country you live in. You are a racist Bigot if you do.

Take a spin out to Istanbul. The city is covered in Turkish flags. They are soooo patriotic.
