Enough Is Too Much: Brits Now Letting the Union Jack Fly

The British have been losing their country. Actually, it's more accurate to say that the "woke" Labour Party has been giving the country away. The same country, the same people that stood up to Hitler's war machine alone in 1940, are giving their country away to a horde of new invaders, who have brought their own flags with them, and are flying them across the former homeland of Shakespeare, Winston Churchill, the Duke of Wellington, and King Arthur.

Now, though, it's looking a lot like the British people have had enough, and the Union Jack is blossoming across the country again.

A battle over British identity and the nation's flag is just the latest issue to widen the political divide in the United Kingdom in 2025. As the Labour government continues to face growing criticism over a number of issues, from cracking down on free speech to its migration policies, many Britons are concerned about their country's future.
The issue simmered over the summer amid concerns of a growing rift between the ruling elites and members of the public centered on the nation’s flag. The debate, while ongoing for several years, gained new life since anti-Israel protests erupted after Hamas’ mass terror attack against Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, when Britain saw a proliferation of Palestinian flags across the country.

The Labour Party should come under criticism for a lot more than that; they have, in effect, surrendered the country to waves of foreign invaders who have no intention of assimilating, of becoming British, or even obeying British laws. Labour politicians and, honestly, too many British people won't admit this, out of sheer terror for being called "racist." But this isn't a racial issue; it's a cultural issue, and too many "migrants" into Britain have brought their cultures, and their flags, with them - even when it's the flag of a nation that doesn't exist.

Tensions were further heightened over the display of Palestinian flags on public buildings, with critics arguing it represents an abandonment of traditional British values, and that immigrant communities are dictating community values. Several councils in major cities bowed to public pressure. Those cities — all with sizable immigrant communities — including Sheffield, Preston, Bradford and others chose to raise the Palestinian flag last month to honor the United Nations International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.
"There's only one flag that should be flying on public buildings in the U.K., and I include the home nations of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, and that's the Union flag. We need to start cohering around national stories and symbols, and the flag is the simplest, most visual, visceral way of doing that," Colin Brazier, a commentator on British culture, told Fox News Digital.

That's why we have flags. That's why we fly them. That's why we stand when they go past. They aren't just strips of colored cloth. They represent our nations, and the flag that represents the United Kingdom is the only flag that should be flying on any government building, at any time. Ever.

Here's the onion:

A recent YouGov study found mixed views on the Union flag and England's flag of St. George. 58% of 2024 Labour voters perceive the English flag as a racist symbol but just 19% of Conservative voters and 8% of Reform voters feel the same way. The poll said that a majority of ethnic minority adults (55%) believe those putting up St George’s flags do so "mostly as a way of expressing anti-migrant and/or anti-ethnic minority sentiment", with a plurality (41%) saying the same goes for the union flag.

The Labour voters are simply wrong. This isn't a racial matter. It's a cultural matter. Britain, the nation-state belonging to the British people, is entitled to their own, unique culture. They are entitled to protect that culture. But they simply haven't been doing so. The Labour Party has made it a platform plank to let Britain be invaded, their culture trodden down, and their flag removed from public view as "racist."

There was a time when Great Britain was America, Original Recipe. That time is gone. And the sad thing is that this resurgence in support for something as elementary as flying the national flag of the United Kingdom may well be too little, too late. Their government has already been co-opted. They may well have already lost, as has most of Europe.

The Brits may as well amend that country's traditional patriotic cry to "God save the King - because Parliament won't!"
