The U.K. has become such a cucked, soy, and conquered state that some city councils are now banning people from flying the nation’s very own flag.

For example, the Liberal Democrat-led Oxfordshire County Council has asked a British high court to block pro-British activists from hanging the Union Jack or Saint George’s Cross on public lampposts, according to The Independent.

Saint George’s Cross is a red cross on a white background, historically associated with Saint George, the patron saint of England, since the 14th century. It forms the basis of the national flag of England and is a component of the Union Jack, the flag of the U.K.

The council’s move comes as a response to “Operation Raise the Colours,” a movement centered on British people placing the St. George’s Cross and Union Jack flags in public spaces for patriotic purposes.

The council initially filed a legal notice to the campaign/operation in April after receiving complaints — likely from Muslim migrants — about an abundance of patriotic flags on the street.

It’s since upgraded its notice to a formal request to a high court for an injunction on the grounds that the country’s own flags are causing “fear and division” among the public.

“Residents across Oxfordshire, from Adderbury to Wallingford, have complained to the council about safety risks, intimidation and distress linked to this activity,” a council spokesperson said on Wednesday, according to GB News.

“The ongoing scale and persistence of the behavior by Raise the Colours has created safety risks, caused distress within communities, and led to abuse and intimidation directed at council teams and residents,” the statement continued.

Members of Raise the Colours have allegedly acted angrily and belligerently toward people who’ve tried, for reasons that remain unclear, to take down their patriotic flags.

Speaking of taking down the flags, Oxfordshire County has reportedly already wasted £15,000 (about $20,000) removing over 300 Union and St George’s Cross flags from lampposts.

In a statement, he suggested the timing of the council’s injunction is linked to the ongoing World Cup.

“With the World Cup now underway, communities across Oxfordshire are coming together to celebrate, support their national teams and enjoy one of the biggest sporting events in the world,” he said. “Against that backdrop, many people will struggle to understand why the Council believes this is the appropriate moment to escalate matters further through the courts.”

He also slammed the council for wasting so much money.

“Over many months, the County Council has devoted significant officer time, legal resources and enforcement activity to pursuing action over the installation of unauthorized flags,” he said. “At a time when councils across the country are facing serious financial pressures, and when local residents expect us to focus relentlessly on delivering essential services, there must be complete transparency about how much has been spent so far.”

Former British football coach Harry Redknapp also lashed out at the council.

“What is wrong with these people?” he asked during a podcast appearance. “We are proud to be British – that is what we are. Fly your flags, be proud of your country. Don’t be ashamed to be British.”

Unfortunately, many do not feel the same, particularly British cops:

According to The Telegraph, the council wants it so that anyone who places a patriotic flag publicly and near the road — excluding on private property — would face up to two years in prison or an unlimited fine.

The high court set to handle the case will reportedly hear it on June 23. It’s unclear whether the court will make a ruling that very day or not.
