@nprofile1q... a couple of thugs started up a 'fly the flag' campaign which meant going around areas and (illegally) attaching flags to streetlamp posts. In large qtys. The good old 'intimidation disguised as patriotism' trope. Both the union flag/jack and the St George cross. The union flag actually has an asymmetrical 'wrong way up' possibility which caught many of the bonehead perps out! One of the originators has since been arrested for murder after attacking someone in a rage. Not surprised.
