St George’s Flags Create “No-Go Zones” for Staff, NHS Claims
St George’s flags are creating “no-go zones” for NHS staff, leaving them feeling intimidated, including when they are visiting people in their homes, senior NHS leaders have said. The Telegraph has more.
A poll of senior managers found 77% were concerned about discrimination towards NHS staff from patients and the public.
Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, said last week that he was shocked by an “ugly comeback” of “1970s, 1980s-style racism” towards staff, with patients increasingly taking out their frustrations on frontline workers, amid long waits.
One trust leader, speaking anonymously, said there were particular difficulties for staff working in the community.
He said: “I have been into homes with people who have been convicted of sex offences, and we go in and provide care to them.
“It can be a really precarious situation, and they [the nurses] handle that absolutely brilliantly.
He added: “We saw during the time when the flags went up – our staff, who are a large minority of black and Asian staff, feeling deliberately intimidated.
“It felt like the flags were up creating no-go zones. That’s what it felt like to them.
“You add that on top of real autonomous working, that real bravery of working in people’s homes, with an environment… [where] it feels like it’s an area that’s designed to exclude them.”
He said staff can feel intimidated “and in, if I’m honest, in many cases, I think that’s what it was designed to feel like.”
Another NHS trust leader said one member of their staff, who is white and has mixed race children, had asked some people putting up flags to move so she could park her car.
“The individuals filmed what was happening, and then followed her, and she continued to receive abuse over a series of several days, not because she objected to the flags, but because she disturbed them,” they said.
“There are lots of stories like that. There are lots of stories where people have tried to take flags down outside of their own homes and have been abused and threatened as a consequence of that.”
The leader said the “springing up of flags everywhere has created another form of intimidation and concern for many, many of our staff.”

And right there is the problem. One lady posting over at FSB reports that up to 1,000 immigrants are being given NHS jobs per week. Elsewhere it is not uncommon to read of white English doctors and nurses being left unrecruited as the organisation makes way for thousands of dark skinned foreigners. These people are not British and have no interest in this country so the flag of St George and or the Union Jack is bound to feel alien. I must say I find the flags of Pakistan and Palestine and the like equally intimidating so while I have absolutely no sympathy for these NHS people I understand there attitude. Bottom line though – tough, I don’t care.
Another deliberately provocative problem with a deceptively simple solution – for those NHS staff feeling uncomfortable best bet is pack your bags and Foxtrot Oscar.
However if i were to go to Pakistan and seek a job there, my salary paid for by the taxpayer of Pakistan, you can bet I would respect their flag out of gratitude and respect.
Exactly.
And they’d never see you as Pakistani. You’d always be a foreigner.
Being considered Pakistani would not be a worthwhile use of anybodys life would it?
I bet you would have little choice.
I feel intimidated by notices in hospitals telling me that being rude or using foul language to staff is not acceptable – because I wouldn’t anyway. But I do not anticipate that they will change their ways because of my feelings.
I saw a slew of “zero tolerance” posters at my town’s main social housing office yesterday, and it made me think about where else I have seen that slogan trotted out. Most recently in an airport and in an announcement on a Jet2 flight, in that nauseating theatrically jolly style of theirs. In any case it appears that zero tolerance only works in one direction and the indigenous population of this once great nation is expected to have infinite tolerance of being invaded illegally, r@p€d and st@bb€d by anyone who feels like it. In the interest of diversity, which is our greatest strength.
I doubt that the Ritz hotel has Zero Tolerance posters – the sight of them makes my heart sink because it tells the customer immediately that the service is going to be shockingly bad.
I don’t exactly feel intimidated by them but I think they’re meant be threatening: “Better behave yourself or else …” a constant reminder that someone is waiting in the shadows to take care of you in case you – according to his opinion – didn’t behave yourself. That’s especially true since I discovered that abusive behaviour by strangers towards me is – as usual – not included in the list of unacceptable behaviours for the usual reason aka “Autists just deserve it! Why can they just be like everyone else!”
What a load of Absolute Codswallop! As for “abusive behaviour toward you for being autistic”, there are two sides to every story. Should we feel threatened by the sight of your ancestral homeland’s GERMAN FLAG flying in your ancestral homeland of GERMANY? Of course not! “Waiting in the shadows” to attack you for no reason???? Indigenous Brits??? To try to restore some common sense and balance to your Anti-British views (despite the fact that you have chosen of your own free will to live and work here for 15 years), and in honour of yesterday’s Remembrance Day, please take 3 minutes to watch this wonderful re-enactment of The Christmas Truce between German and British troops in the trenches of World War I. It seems not to be available in Germany on Youtube, which is strange, as if the Marxists in charge there don’t want any fraternising between Germans & Brits. It was produced in honour of the 100th Anniversary of The Christmas Truce, and it really is beautiful, poignant and moving, bringing a tear to the eye — a real celebration of all that is good in humanity, amidst the horrors of that pointless war… 1914 | Sainsbury’s Ad |… Read more »
Brilliant ad!
When I visit Spain, I don’t find the Spanish flag intimidating. When I visit France, I don’t find the French flag intimidating. And so on.
But for some reason the state-sponsored invaders – and the anglophobes – find the flag of my country “intimidating”. Perhaps such people are in the wrong country. Perhaps it would be better – considering their delicate and fragile mental health – if they were to **** *** out of my country.
St. George’s Cross is usually flying from the tower of Reading Minster and I’ve always liked the sight — English church with English flag on it, that’s how it should be. I think Labour is simply lying about that.
A friend went to live in fairly rural France. He’s of Maltese descent but speaks English with an EastEnders London accent. Apparently his French is good but his accent is terrible.
He flies the England flag over his renovated farmhouse home and is well liked in the area. He loves the local barter economy and customs. He says the locals quite like tourists who come and spend money but most especially when they F-off again.
They only intimidate and annoy those who hate England.
Plenty of other countries they can go to …
Yes I think it’s quite the litmus test. I can’t help wondering if these same people were just as whingy and allegedly ‘intimidated’ by entire neighbourhoods decked out with Pakistan, Palestine and flags of Jihad. Then there’s the rainbow Transtifa effort that’s shoved in people’s face all over the place. But it’s the NHS, so what can we expect? An organization that doesn’t think female changing rooms should be treated as ”no-go zones” for pervert men, and that women might feel a little bit intimidated by that.
Wah wah wah. Suck it the f*ck up. I don’t like seeing a Palestine flag on nearly every window in areas of Cardiff, or tranny flags hung in place of Welsh ones. I don’t want to see a rainbow painted on buses and the sides of police cars. I don’t want to see BLM flag sprayed by professional, hired graffiti artists on the side on buildings in the city centre. I’ve seen Soviet flags in student accommodation windows!
Go and eat the entire bag of dicks, because it’s our country, our flags. That isn’t intimidation you’re feeling, that’s probably the respect you’re lacking.
I imagine if I were to walk around Tower Hamlets all I would see are Palestinian flags. That would make me feel deeply intimidated but who would care?
They would tell you you are a racist, Far Right.
It’s a ”Rules for thee, but not for me” scenario, as per. You’re a hateful racist Islamophobe if you don’t choose to submit to being conquered, basically.
Probably a sign that is is a risky place to go among the Jew-hating stabby people.
Yes, and it’s also a risky place for journalists, like Jerome Taylor of the Independent, who was beaten up by a Muslim Gang when he went there merely to ask why 18 Pakistani Muslim Men were all registered to vote at a single, one-bedroom flat…

“ugly comeback” of “1970s, 1980s-style racism”
The “racism” was not based on skin colour, but resentment of immigrant cheap labour taking people’s jobs, driving wage levels down, changing the character of neighbourhoods, rioting because… reasons, over-burdening public services.
Just like now. It is lazy and disingenuous to ignore and deny the real reasons, and just shriek “racist!”, “Fascist!”, “Far Right!”
”… large minority of black and Asian staff, feeling deliberately intimidated.” I don’t feel deliberately intimidated because the flags represent my cultural and national identity. Those intimidated evidently do not find them representative of who they are – not English/British. So what are these people?
But – I was alive in 60s/70s/80s and black and Asian people weren’t at all intimidated by our flags, some had been born in Countries under the Union Jack, and in fact they insisted in identifying with being British and English. So what has changed?
To paraphrase the great Raylan Givens (TV series Justified), if you go out in the morning and the first person you meet behaves like a racist, he’s a racist. If everybody you meet for the rest of the day behaves like a racist, you’re the racist.
Strange. I find the plethora of rainbow flags, stickers, posters and other material in the NHS deliberately intimidating. No-one gives a monkeys what I think..
Not to mention the plethora of pro vaccination propaganda that is poured over any visitor to any NHS building. Millions of people will die if I do not put on my mask this very second. Except of course if it’s a Trump mask, when i am asked to remove it. The Science is settled and the science says so, so it must be true. How very considerate of the virus to stop killing people because of what’s written on the mask.
What kind of pathetic wet blanket gets offended or intimidated by the nation’s flag where you happen to reside? It’s the English flag and you’re living in England, FFS. Stop misrepresenting a show of patriotism for a symbol of hostility or racism just so you can have an irrational cry, all because you have no affinity with the place yourself. Bit of a giveaway. Bloody oikophobes! If there’s any ”no-go zones” in England you’ll find them to be minority white, Muslim enclaves, such as within Birmingham or Tower Hamlets, to name only two of many examples. Just follow the Palestine and Pakistan flags that are up everywhere and you can’t go wrong. Meanwhile, speaking of oikophobes vs patriots: Jezbollah has gone after Rupert Lowe again; ”The former Reform MP Rupert Lowe has faced widespread condemnation following comments he made about migration on social media today (10 November). Lowe was elected under the Reform banner before later being booted out of the party following Reform referring him to the police over claims that he made verbal threats towards the party’s chair Zia Yusuf. Lowe posted on X: “We need to create such a hostile and unwelcoming environment for illegal migrants that the… Read more »
I am perfectly on board with Rupert Lowe’s comments and the fact that he has riled the lifelong commie grifter Worzel Corbyn is to be applauded.
No-go zones. Hmm. Of course there are no “no-go zones” anywhere in the UK for white people, are there? None in any of our towns and cities. It could never happen.
The problem is in Leftists and media insisting on calling THE ENGLAND FLAG the flag of Fake Turkish Saint George who lied about slaying a dragon and never set foot in England.
By refusing to call it THE ENGLAND FLAG in their demands for it to be essentially banned, they can stop patriots from responding,
— “Which country are we in? England.”
— “But England doesn’t exist, has no Parliament, and is just part of the UK.”
— “Oh. Which part of the UK?”
— “Ummm… England”.
— “So you’re saying we can’t fly The England Flag in England?”
— “Yes, because it’s racist. The Crusaders took it with them to fight the Muslims.”
— “But it’s OK to fly the flags of Muslim countries here in England?”
— “Yes, because they’ll kill us if we take them down.”
St George is not Turkish. A common mistake in ascribing him the nationality of the place he was born – probably – as it is now. Cappadoccia was then in Anatolia and a province of the Roman Empire for whom he fought as a mercenary so he can correctly be described as Anatolian.
Yes, I know that, but thanks for reminding me. I first typed “Cappadoccian”, which was Christian for centuries before Islam, but changed it to Turkish for those who aren’t interested in the niceties of history.
How should we correctly refer to the Dragon? How about,
“George said he slew a gargantuan flying reptile the size of Godzilla, that used to wander round Cappadoccia in those days, eating maidens, hiding gold in his mountain lair, and wreaking havoc with farmers’ crops. No one witnessed his feat of derring-do, but it was widely accepted as a miracle by all his friends and neighbours, notwithstanding. So the Pope decided to give him the benefit of the doubt, and canonized him anyway.”
“The Pope did refuse, however, to canonize a villager who said he once caught a gargantuan blenny even bigger than George’s dragon.”
When I go for hospital treatment, I take off my Stat of David neckless in case I’m seen by someone who comes from a country where hatred of Jews if fed to children with their mother’s milk
Reminder to self:
Must wear flag of St George tie and pin when I go to GP or hospital appointment.
Yes, I believe that Starmer (I refuse to call him sir), believes that reform is racist and by association anyone who likes them is also racist. He has said wanting to deport people is divisive and trotted out Bliars trope of tolerance, love of the underdog etc as being the truly British way. yet as others have pointed out, the intolerance of the minority and their disrespect for the still majority white population is absolutely fine by them. Since Starmer and his useless government are almost at the point of openly admitting that they would prefer Britain to be populated by black and Asian immigrants rather than the original white ones, it’s about time we called for a general election on the grounds that parliament is approving genocide via colonisation of its own citizens. That anyone who is a white person would consider voting labour, green or Liberal Democrat at the next election makes me feel ill. I work in the NHS and have never once heard my black, Asian or mixed race colleagues say they feel intimidated by the St George’s flag. However, I have heard a lot of white managers whinging on about it. I truly believe that… Read more »
Since when did a flag intimidate a human? That is a weird concept. Does anyone remember when all the Ukrainian flags flew proudly in front of people’s homes. As a foreigner living in the Uk, I found that ridiculous. These same people never flew their own flag ever, but could not get the Ukrainian flag up fast enough. A country full of people who have been duped. Fly your British flags for godsake! It is your country! Fly them proudly!
You are absolutely right to point out how quickly Indigenous Britons raised Ukrainian flags in solidarity, but NEVER their own England Flag !!! It’s as if they are ASHAMED of their own flag— it’s appallingly weak, and shows the depth of Globalist Brainwashing.
This is England and our flag is the cross of St George. We should all be able to fly it proudly. Sadly it has become politicised by supposed ‘far right’ activists. How did that happen, or we allow it to happen. It belongs to all Englishmen and women not just one faction. Imagine going to any other country where a substantial section of the population were anti their own national flag. Only in broken Britain!
No, the England Flag is, in fact, THE BANNER OF THE LAMB, and THAT’S why it was carried by the Crusaders, not because of the ridiculous story of George, which was invented to CONCEAL the true Christian meaning of the England Flag.
In the occult symbolism behind images of “George” using a spear to kill a small dragon, “George” stands for the EGREGOR = THE DEMI-URGE = SATAN using the SPEAR OF LONGINUS to kill Christ !!!
The England Flag is THE BANNER OF THE LAMB, symbolizing JOHN THE BAPTIST, with HIS LONG REED CROSS holding HIS BANNER of the Red Cross (blood sacrifice” on White Background ( his purity and innocence).
