What is going on? I’ve seen musk has been masterbating about flags so I assume this is some sort of organized gammon “we’re taking back our country” thing?

Exactly this.
Someone started a trend, painting a red cross on a white roundabout I think was the catalyst, and here we are.
I saw the red paint on the roundabout down the road, then it was red gaffer tape on some white traffic furniture. This morning it was just spray paint on a tree.
Of course, I’m seeing way more actual flags than usual, too.
The social media I have seen is all about patriots not standing for it any more etc etc. I’d imagine Elon would be pulling himself silly over them ‘making a stand’. I’ve seen some analysis that it is just as much about sparking a confrontation in the moment as it is about making a point. I have no doubt that is true, the gammons are probably pissed off there weren’t any large-scale riots this summer.

You can’t even have a country anymore. It’s illegal to be proud of England

A masterpiece.
They’re so predictably stupid…
Outside of sport, I can’t recall ever seeing flags worn like that here, like a cape, but maybe I haven’t been paying attention.
Quite common in Australia, a few years ago they tried to stop it at the Big Day Out, a massive travelling music festival. The tour was always around Australia Day and hyper-aggro blokes were causing trouble to show how proud they were to be Aussie. Totally logical.

Just coz it feels related, here’s a clip of Bob Katter, an Australian MP losing his shit when someone pointed out his grandfather was a Lebanese immigrant. The press conference was addressing some planned anti-immigration protests that Katter supports.
They’re so coherent and not at all small-minded.

At one point he said, ‘My family has been in this country since the beginning of time.’
Turns out the universe is only 140 years old…who knew?

Can’t really find myself sympathising much. No doubt all about tax avoidance. Nothing illegal of course but if it seems too good to be true then it invariably is.
If you are fortunate to earn megabucks, then pay the tax.
