It's already illegal to put flags up on highways and lampposts without permission. That's a national law, it just isn't often enforced because nobody's been doing this nationalist harassment grift before Birmingham City Council isn't saying you can't put Pride flags up on your home or business.

"They have voluntarily unmasked themselves, submitted a devastatingly clever Position Statement to the Court, and essentially said to the council: "Hello. We are the unknowns. We are members of the LGBTQ+ community who occasionally put up Pride flags. And you are trying to make us criminals" Er, no

Ryan Bridge of Raise the Colours has allied with a man who apparently spends his life ranting on Facebook about LTNs to derail Birmingham City Council's injunction against any unauthorised flags Here is his master Pride plan, which he obviously broadcast because that's his only setting Is he right?

Because the others have accepted the injunction and agreed not to put any more flags up in Birmingham, the remaining people named in the High Court case are Ryan Bridge (multiple bails for various crimes), Ben Cullen (awaiting CSAM trial) and Billy Allison (awaiting trial for murder)

No surprise to see he's using that turgid piece of far-right AI music "This is England", which is as utterly artificial as this flagger's affected care for community spirit. Danny Bones is an AI-generated white supremacist – the front for an anonymous influencer “collective” called the Node Project

Absolute state of Ryan Bridge of Raise the Colours prior to the Birmingham City Council injunction hearing today. "It's time to show that this has been nothing more than a waste of valuable time and public money." Took much to hope that this is finally some insight into his own actions 🙄

Night night sweet dreamies Some days you’ll have the strength to take on the world. Other days, you’ll need to curl up, shut the world out for a little while and just rest. Both are okay. Learning to listen to yourself, rather than always pushing through, is important.

A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."
It does raise this point of two-tiered
justice..


Reform's Sarah Pochin believes the
sentence handed to the 64-year-old who
blew up a ULEZ camera was
disproportionate'.

That ship has sailed my friend. As an american I can attest to that. The father of lies is and has been carrying russias water for years. I am certainly not advocating for Ukraine to loose its soul and become like the aggressor. That to me would ultimately be a win for russia.

russia subsequently escalated attacks on Kyiv, specifically targeting schools, hospitals, telecommunications facilities, and data centers. The only question I have after reading this is why should we regard rules of war if Russia bombs schools during school hours every day now?
