Flags went up in Stirchley a few days ago & were taken down by local residents the same evening.

The men returned with a cherry picker and coned off parts of the road with police accompanying them as they put up new flags along the High Street.

Residents who object have been met with verbal abuse.

Meanwhile in Leicester…
RACISTS NOT WELCOME HERE To my neighbours and friends This flag is being used to intimidate and threaten us. If the person who loves it so much wants to see it every day, I suggest that they put it in their own window-so we know who the racist in our community is! This flag is saying some people don't belong, because they are black, or Asian, or have an accent, or come from another country, or a woman that disagrees with them, or supports Palestine-or anything they don't like. If the flag flyers don't like our country, our history, our streets, our hospitals, our schools, our music, our culture, our communities our fantastic food, made up of many immigrants and communities, old and new, Please Please, get on a boat and leave our country. RACISTS ARE NOT WELCOME HERE Maybe Elon Musk that billionaire narcissist you love so much will pay for you-he pays for everything else you racists do. Or that man of the people 'Nigel 10 job' Farage could help on his £873,000 earning since the election. From neighbours who LOVE WESTEND, LOVE LEICESTER HATE RACISM

People like Elliot Stanley, the founding member of Raise The Colours would like you to believe that his 'movement' is not political. That's BS of course. It's about hating migrants.

“The flags are not political, just local people showing patriotism and pride in their area.”

No, the whole campaign is a giant exercise in astroturfing by the racist far-right.

This banner has just gone up at Longridge island. Can’t see it lasting long tbh.

Robert Jenrick complained of ‘not seeing another white face’ in part of Birmingham
Shadow justice secretary criticised for suggesting he could tell how integrated Handsworth was based on 90-minute visit Robert Jenrick complained about visiting an area of Birmingham where he “didn’t see another white face” and said it was not the kind of country he wanted to live in. After highlighting the lack of white people, the shadow justice secretary said it was not about “the colour of your skin or your faith” and he wanted people to live alongside each other.

If the Police were there to stop a breach of the peace then it is/was a breach of the peace risk to put them up and they should havd been stopped.

Take'em down and ask the Police for protection whilst they are taken down.

I hate this nationalist jingoism intended to cause tensions.

When it comes to intimidating racist protests including outside our homes or place of worship, Black and Asian people are supposed to just accept it and the government saying “we hear you” and “it is right to protest this” and “I love flags me”. No thought of “cumulative impact” for us!

NEW: Home Office announces planned new anti-protest powers, mainly aimed at pro-Gaza protests like those for Palestine Action. Police will be able to consider the "cumulative impact" of repeated protests and potentially order that they be relocated.

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

A lot of flags were taken down last night apparently. Stirchley is without doubt the frontline of resistance to compulsory flagging in Brum!
