If you're a Twitchy VIP member (and you should be), you'll know that this editor writes a lot about the U.K. As we reported recently, the "far-right" Elon Musk joined the "Operation: Raise the Colours" movement by posting the Cross of St. George, the flag of England. Operation: Raise the Colours has seen native Britons proudly flying the English flag, with municipal government following close behind, removing all of the flags from city lamp posts and power-washing white roundabouts on which naughty Britons have painted the red stripes representing their country.
This editor had to listen to this TV report to ensure that the post wasn't a parody. If you thought AWFLs were strictly limited to the United States, you were wrong. Watch as this Irish woman complains about the Irish flying the Tricolour.
According to Dublin City Council, flying the Irish flag in Ireland means you support English nationalism.

Yes, a flag marks territory. The territory is Ireland. Notice how the AWFL refers to waves of unvetted migrants from Muslim countries as "our new neighbors."
It's funny they couldn't find anyone from those "far-right" anti-migrant groups to comment on the story.
Anti-immigrant? No. Anti-fake "asylum-seeker"? Yes.
So the Dublin City Council has to deal with the problem of people flying the Irish flag.
They’re lamenting Irish flags marking territory… in Ireland? We have a lot of Irish people and pubs and parades in America and they love their flag. Weird that there are Irish people in Ireland that don’t. 🇮🇪

If loving your country offends your government, you need a new government.

Showing your patriotism will soon be illegal.

Mark territory? It's Irish territory, sorry should we fly a trans flag instead ?

God forbid you take pride in your nations flag… 🫠

No, you see, flying the flag is just a means of intimidating their new neighbors.
But they’ve no problem with any of this nonsense. 🙄 pic.twitter.com/RUoPVRlzMa

The Dublin City Council is clearly woke EU marxist and invader controlled…

You want to hear hateful rhetoric listen to what the Muslim immigrants are calling for! Wake up

That is an odd take on the country’s official flag.

They're flying above the Dublin City Council building by the looks of it. How long until they rectify that?
