Group of Men Putting up St George’s Flags are ‘Attacked With Firebomb’

A man was left with a nasty gash and blood pouring down his face after being attacked with “a glass bottle and lit rag” just minutes after putting up England flags in his hometown. The Mail has the story.

A man, known as Louis, told police he was struck by the flaming object in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, as he and a group of others were hanging St George’s flags on lampposts and poles just after midnight on Saturday.

Footage from the incident posted on social media by StevenagePatriots shows the bottle ablaze on the ground and close to the rear tyres of a parked car.

The person taking the video can then be heard saying: “Putting flags up, got petrol bombed.”

Seconds later, the video shows ‘Louis’ looking shocked and standing with blood running down his face and hands as he awaited emergency services.

The man behind the camera says: ‘Just finished the night, three hours of flagging – and our boy has been petrol bombed.

“A petrol bomb was thrown at the car, smashed straight onto his head.”

The voice off-camera can then be heard calling those responsible “absolute scumbags” and “cowards”.

Louis was helped by paramedics, before being taken off to Lister Hospital in Stevenage for treatment. 

One of the men at the scene, who wished to remain anonymous, told GB News: “It is, of course, worrying to see such hostility, but it will never stop us from raising our flag with pride.

“The fact that people are so quick to attack us is concerning, yet it only makes us more determined to stand firm in who we are.”

He added: “My message is simple: keep going, keep waving your flags, because we are a country that does not surrender – and we never will.”  …

Anyone with information is asked to contact Hertfordshire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. …

Yesterday, rival groups angrily clashed in front of migrant hotels as a wave of protests spread across Britain.

At least 30 demonstrations took place, with police bracing themselves for more over the bank holiday. …

Last night, Avon and Somerset Police said a 37 year-old woman was arrested for assaulting an emergency worker. Tensions also boiled over in Oxford, as opposing groups clashed outside the Holiday Inn Express hotel. But in a rare moment of unity, both groups chanted together “Keir Starmer is a w*****.”

Hmm. From what I have observed, Stevenage is still majority white working class – I wouldn’t want to piss those boys off

Well I’d like to see how the Lefty presstitutes spin this to be the work of “far right thugs”. This is the work of the hired mobs: the ‘enemy within’, and nobody else;

“The uniforms may be gone, but the tactic is the same. The so-called “anti-racists” are today’s stormtroopers – mobs deployed to intimidate, silence, and smear anyone who dares oppose the regime’s agenda. They show up not to debate, but to drown out. Not to persuade, but to provoke.

And just like the Brownshirts, they don’t act alone. They act with the quiet blessing of the political class and the police who stand behind them. That’s why they can scream, threaten, and even assault without consequence, while locals holding Union Jacks are treated as criminals. It’s state-approved disruption, the strong-arm of an ideology too weak to win a fair argument.

Call them what they are: the shock troops of globalist Britain. They don’t wear brown shirts, but their purpose is the same – to clear the path for a ruling class that fears its own people.” Jim Chimirie on Twitter.

Exactly correct, Antifa and Hate not Hope are the modern day Brownshirts. They act with the connivance of the state, are backed by sponsors and protected by the police. They are masked thugs who move around with impunity and are ignored by the security services.

I am not convinced that celebration of such statist symbols is ultimately productive. National flags represent the political institutions that are failing the people, not the nation of people who are seeing their established and preferred societal order being undermined and dismantled with a tangible deliberation.

We should reject ‘the state’ and reject all the faux accoutrement by which they bind us to their false edifice by usurping our propensity for loyalty our land, tribe, nation and great leaders and replacing it with a pack of flowery lies.

I share your scepticism about the state but disagree with your point- the flags belong to us and represent our country, our nation, not the state which just exists to help us with admin and protect our borders.

Oh, I disagree. “They” have a whole different set of flags they prefer to fly. Take a look at your local gov building.

I disagree entirely. You are over-thinking matters. There is nothing “faux” in our national flags. My allegiance to our flags is part of who I am and the state be damned. Our flags fly above the state which exists only as a concept and can be altered as we choose. Our flags remain.

If others fly their flags they are laying claim to the land they occupy. Indigenous people have to assert their right to ownership of the land, to do otherwise is an act of surrender to an establishment that shows allegiance to outside forces and to their sponsored invaders.

Political conference goers bombarded with missiles, so in subsequent years protective screens were needed. Political conference goers greeted by manikins hanging by their necks from road and railway bridges. An invasion of a political party’s office that resulted in fire extinguishers being thrown onto ordinary people from the top of an office block. These were all left wing violence on mainstream centre right victims. In response, until the Southport protests, the left can only point to two medically unhinged people, supposedly right wing, one who killed an MP and one who travelled from Wales to London to attack a mosque.
The truth is, there has always been more violence and aggression from the left of politics but no one seems prepared to accept this and the bulk of the establishment, the judiciary, the civil service and others preach a false rhetoric of where the greatest risk to democracy comes from. Even recent protests outside asylum hotels have seen trouble stirred up by individuals completely masked up, so we don’t know which side of the argument they are on, but we can be certain they are agent provocateurs trying to destroy the reputation of decent people wanting to protect their community.

Wrong headline. It should be:

“Group of ENGLISHMEN putting up ENGLAND FLAGS in ENGLAND are attacked with firebombs”

Again & again we see the media not mentioning truths they dislike: for example,

“13 White People stabbed by Cowardly Ethnic African Muslim Convert Radicalised by Southport Mosque Imam, Never Even Questioned by Police ” is now

“3 girls killed by Welsh choirboy”,

and the ENGLAND FLAG is now “St George’s Flag”, which is also the flag of umpteen other countries, as if the media cannot bear to acknowledge the existence of

ENGLAND, THE ENGLISH & THEIR ENGLAND FLAG,

and want to wipe them both out.

“St George’s Cross has been adopted on the coat of arms and flags of several countries and cities which have St George as a patron saint, notably England, Georgia, Aragon, Greece, Genoa and Barcelona.

The cross is also found, for various reasons, on the Spanish provincial flag of Huesca, Zaragoza and Teruel (the 3 provinces of Aragon), as well as the municipal flag for numerous cities, including Montreal, Almeria, Milan, Genoa, Padua, Zadar and Freiburg im Breisgau. 

It is also the basis for the Four Moors flag of Sardinia.
Guernsey was permitted to use it as its state flag between 1936 and 1985.
Historically, the cross appeared on many now extinct flags, emblems and coats of arms, such as that of the Swabian League in late Medieval Germany.”

Cappodocian George & his Fake Dragon have NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH ENGLAND or The English People, so the continued insistence on calling the ENGLAND FLAG “his” flag detracts from its significance as the symbol chosen to represent ENGLAND & THE ENGLISH PEOPLE.

While it is the chosen flag for England, I will continue to respect it and recognise it. As an atheist, I am not sure about the concept of patron saints, but if we were looking for one, my preference would be for Aldhelm, a learned man of Wessex and would choose the Wessex flag over the Norman/Plantagenet imposed flag and Saint, chosen almost certainly to continue the oppression of Anglo Saxons and Celtic peoples by William the Bastard and his off spring.

The Wessex flag is a good idea, because it represents “The Man Who Made England”, as historian Justin Pollard wrote in his biography of…

King Alfred the Great.

My favourite saint is Saint Adalbert of Prague, who used his inherited family fortune to purchase the freedom of Christian slaves.

I live in Wessex and have never seen a Wessex flag, although looking online it looks remarkably like the Welsh Dragon. Since moving here a few years ago I have given myself a mission to visit sites associated with King Alfred and yesterday I went to Cadbury Hill Fort. In the small church at South Cadbury was the following quote:
“See that ye hold fast the Heritage we leave you. Yea and teach your children its value that never in the coming centuries their hearts may fail them, or their hands grow weak.” Attributed to Sir Francis Drake.

I took a photo of it and thought to myself …. how appropriate for the times we are living in. Over the last few decades there has been a concerted effort by the Establishment to erase our Heritage and to NOT teach its value ….. and the consequences are visible all around us.

But there are still enough Englishmen and women who know its value and, as they are now demonstrating, their hearts and hands work just fine.

That is a magnificent quote. The animal is a Wyvern, either white for the ordinary banners or golden for the earls of Wessex and then King of England. It was mistaken as a dragon by the Normans hence George killing the dragon to oppress us. I am a moonraker, Wiltshireman and proudly Wessex born.

But the Wyvern looks very much like the Chinese idea of a Dragon, which they regard as a beautiful, powerful, benevolent being.
