Why are households flying the England flag?

While some of those responsible for putting up the flags have revealed they’re motivated by pride and patriotism, others have said it feels provocative at a time when tensions are running high across England over immigration.

The issue has caused a headache for councils, with some authorities changing their stances over whether flags should be removed from street furniture or not.

At least one police force has launched an investigation into criminal damage after St George’s crosses were painted on mini-roundabouts.

Now Thomas Skinner, who has met JD Vance and been open about his Trump-supporting views, has waded in.

He posted: “I am loving seeing all these beautiful flags. Well done everyone.” He ended the tweet with his trademark saying: “Bosh.”
