If you haven't gotten tired of hearing me talk about it now, my one international trip (not counting America's 51st state, Canada) was to London, and it was the best week of my life. My wife is trying to plan a trip to Ireland and Scotland for sometime next spring; her grandmother immigrated from Ireland, and it's always been her dream to see the country. I suppose that's why I do so many posts on the United Kingdom — I'm a confessed Anglophile, but seeing England fall to unfettered migration from Muslim countries, as well as its authoritarian crackdown on free speech, makes me think I'll never see London as it was in 2001.
I'm sure I'm considered "far-right" by liberals, and now the U.K. and Europe are setting their sights on the emerging "far-right," such as the Alternative for Germany Party. As our own Grateful Calvin reported earlier today, a 23-year-old father was arrested by police in the U.K. for singing, "I love bacon," outside the site of a proposed mosque.
As Calvin pointed out in his post, there's been a movement in the U.K. called "Operation Raise the Colours" encouraging Brits to fly the Union Jack and the Cross of St. George. The government's been doing what it can to tamp down on this "far-right" protest. As flags are being taken down by the government, citizens are painting roundabouts with the Cross of St. George — and the government's been quick to send out trucks to remove the paint.

The "controversy" has reached the popular "Good Morning Britain" program, which brought on Kehinde Andrews, Professor of Black Studies at Birmingham University, to explain that the problem isn't just that the "far-right" has co-opted the flags … the flags themselves represent colonialism and racism.
NEW‼️Kehinde Andrews, Professor of Black Studies at Birmingham University, says we should scrap the https://t.co/wK9Oszh6P7's flag - because it's racist.

He says we need a new, multicultural one that represents modern England.

I'd give my thoughts, but it would just be a mass of asterisks, so I won't bother. Here he is on GMB:
"The English and UK flags represent colonisers, racism and the far-right. They're about whiteness, not patriotism.

"They tell immigrants that they shouldn't be here."

The history of the country is 4000 years old and it's all the good and bad wrapped together. The flag represents it all, not just the things you don't like.

He can go live in a country that has a flag he prefers.

We do not need a new flag, we need to remove those who do not like the one we have.

Nope. Stop projecting your racist agenda on the rest of us…that flag IS inclusive of ALL English citizens, regardless of the colour of their skin…

That's a lot of words to say he should just be deported. He is essentially saying he hates the English. He's not talking about the English flag. He is talking about England's people.

I imagine it's like being in America and seeing Democrat politicians more protective of illegal aliens that their own citizens.

This is just one professor and his stupid opinion, but Operation Raise the Colours has gotten enough traction that Good Morning Britain bothered having him on to lecture us on how the United Kingdom needs a new, multicultural flag. The flag IS the culture, moron. If the sight of it triggers you, don't migrate there.
