#AdvocacyUKHopeNotHateJoeMulhall "Union Jacks and the crosses of St George have begun to appear on lampposts up and down the UK in recent days. Much of the right-wing media has celebrated, with the Daily Mail dubbing those behind it an 'army of patriots.'
While there is nothing wrong with flying the nation's flags, HOPE not hate can reveal that the key organisers behind much of this activism are hardened and extreme far-right activists.
While many instances of flags being raised, or crosses being painted on roundabouts or walls, are being carried out by ordinary people inspired by posts on social media, the main organising force behind the campaign is 'Operation Raise the Colours'.
HOPE not hate can reveal that the co-founder and organiser of the group is longtime Stephen Lennon (AKA Tommy Robinson) ally Andrew Currien (AKA Andy Saxon). Formerly a key member of the English Defence League's leadership bodyguard team, and now running security for the far-right party Britain First, Currien has previously been jailed for his part in a racist death."

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheObserverWillJennings "It was not the first time Musk has sought to stir division in Britain. At the height of tensions during the 2024 riots he announced to his 200 million X followers: 'Civil war is inevitable.' Addressing the protest organised by far-right activist Robinson in September, Musk again used inflammatory language: 'Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die, that's the truth.' ...
While it was never perfect, X has become a pay-for-play playground for conspiracy theorists, racists, grifters and anyone else willing to buy a blue tick or boosted by Musk's algorithms because their message aligns with his dystopian worldview. Most of all, buying X gave Musk a huge foghorn that enables him to insert himself as the main character in any political conflict he chooses."

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheObserverAndrewAnthony "Robert Eden, a longtime resident, is adamant that there is absolutely no bigotry involved. 'If I thought they were racist,' he says, 'I would go up every lamppost, wherever they are, and rip them down. They just want them to be racist to have something to say. They just want to complain.'
Who are 'they'?
'Basically,' he says, lowering his voice conspiratorially, 'the Muslims.'
There are certainly no complaints from two local Muslim cab drivers I speak to. 'I can't see the problem,' one says. 'If people want to be patriotic, let them. Some think it's far-right, but I don't think it is.'"

#MagazineNewStatesmanHarryClarkeEzzidio "'I don't really have an emotional response to it, [though] I think a lot of people do,' one of the shop's white customers - who did not want to give his name - said of the national flags whilst getting a skin fade. 'Unpacking that is a very, very complicated thing to do... They mean different things to different people.' When a symbol is so widely recognised, but has a malleable meaning and definition, scepticism abounds. ...
'The social contract's broken,' Joseph Moulton, the boyish-looking organiser behind Flag Force UK, told GB News. Wearing a crisp white shirt and gold cross pendant, he highlighted the gulf between the 'people [who]... want a cause' and 'completely out of touch councils'. "

#NewspaperUKOnlineDorsetEye "A self-styled 'community patrol' in Bournemouth has been exposed as a far-right vigilante operation steeped in anti-migrant hatred, despite its claims of neutrality and public service.
The group, calling itself Safeguard Force, boasts of 200 volunteers and thousands of pounds in donations, but beneath its fluorescent vests lies a toxic mixture of racism, intimidation, and fantasies of violence against asylum seekers."

#NewspaperUKBrdshtBylineTimesOllyHaynes "However, Byline Times can reveal that one of Safeguard Force's founders, Gary Bartlett, a Dorset-based small businessman, helped organise protests against asylum seeker hotels and moderates a Facebook group containing Islamophobic and anti-migrant posts in which he asked for support for Safeguard Force. And a key spokesperson for the group stood for Reform this February.
Bartlett is the admin, alongside a handful of others, of 'Taking Back Our Country', a Facebook group which organises nationalist and anti-migrant protests in Dorset."

#NewspaperUKBrdshtBylineTimesOllyHaynes [Muckrack ] "The 'Raise the Colours' flag-raising campaign, which claims to be a 'grassroots' campaign for 'unity' and has drawn the support of mainstream political parties and widespread coverage in the British media, has pivoted to stabbing through dinghies and harassing and racially abusing migrants and aid workers in the camps of Northern France ...
UKIP leader Nick Tenconi has also been seen in the camps targeting migrants. In one video, Tenconi is seen proclaiming: 'Northern France is now British territory!' Approaching a group in Calais, he shouted: 'You are not welcome in Britain', and asked if they were 'planning to come to Britain illegally.'
Individuals acting alone have also been seen in the camps and on the beaches of northern France, including activists with large followings such as 'Ross the Don'.
Charity workers say that the number of British far right groups attempting to harass and intimidate migrants and aid workers has increased since the signing of the UK-France 'one in, one out' deal."
