Ideally we should have flags and improve people’s lives imho
Flags on lampposts is a common thing where I live. They’ve specially adapted the lampposts to accommodate them in some places, to make it look nice and tidy. Works well.

We all know which country we’re in, we don’t need violence and plastic waste littering the streets to remind us.
It’s not patriotism, it’s brain dead virtue signaling. Patriotism would involve improving the lives of people in this country, this achieves nothing but make the place worse.

Well the only place in the UK I saw that stuff was in the bit of Ireland we havent given back yet. There, either community flies masses of flags on the approaches to their villages and towns as a display of cultural intimidation. This is not the sort of behaviour we should seek to import.

I fucking hate the flag-shagging.
Some folks tried that in Edinburgh, and they were taken down in a few days. Then put up again. Then taken down again.
Cheap polyester madie-in-china tat cable tied to lampposts.
It’s not patriotic, it’s insipid and cliche.
