The Shropshire Star imagining “love all stop hate” is vandalism but the red lines are “a flag debate” 😳🙃😆

That's because a St. George's Cross is just patriotism and pride in our heritage, but telling people to love each other is inexcusable radical left-wing "woke" fanaticism that will inevitably lead to the destruction of our entire civilization. Something like that, anyway.

The mad thing is, it’s not even in Shropshire. The roundabout is in Birmingham. This shit rag has been stirring hate for clicks for years.

Monday morning at work "Nice weekend?" "Yeah, couldn't afford to go to Bristol to scream at a hotel, so I painted red lines on a roundabout to help get our country back."

Surely the red cross was vandalism in the first place? Painting a public space is graffiti.

I'm wondering what the reaction would have been if any other flag was painted on the roundabout? 🤔

The message of love was vandalism, while the racist flag appeared autocthonously from the very rocks of England
