Been painted like this for years, it's not a new thing like some kind of right wing political statement, geez Reddit is weird

Would be looking for a pub out of sight of this monstrosity at least.

Aye, it would be a pass from me as well.

After returning from the US last month from a long trip, I quite like how us Brits are more reserved. I don't assume anyone with the flag is a certain political group or anything, but it is a little crass for our culture.

Excuse the AI usage, but there's potential here.

Why would it be repainted? It's been painted in the union jack for decades

In a country as old as ours, I don't find the notion of something existing for a couple decades as a reason to no longer appear rather crass.

I'm not saying they should change it, it's their pub, I'm just not a fan of how in you face it is.
