He’s a British artist, the sculpture is in London and the phenomenon of raising of St George’s Cross on every lamppost on every roundabout is a recent initiative of the British right. Most people will be linking the statement of this sculpture to this activity.
reply(I’m more likely to see the white rose of the House of York in “opposition” to the flag shaggers than a rainbow or anything else, in my neck of the woods, but there’s only a few of these flying)
I do like the wider interpretation though, that any ideology can blind you.
I live in central London where the the statue is and I think can confidently say there are more other flags than St George cross ones.
replyPersonally I kind of thought of Russia which is about the only lot marching off to war with Russian and Z flags all over.
The St George lot mostly just moan about immigrants.
Being downvoted for an objective fact. Haha, brilliant.
replyIdiots.
(What you call an "objective fact" here is - as you say - your report of your personal experience. Everyone else would probably use a word more like "subjective".)

replyI'm seeing a lot of flags.
Can’t help but notice the difference in sentiment between the flag that represents a people and a flag that represents a nation, especially historically.
replyHmm? Which is which? Is this one of those British things people from normal countries don't understand? Like the difference between United Kingdom and Great Britain.
