What I'm outraged by is the increasing number of incidents of social media platforms hiding this kind of material (but not others), government and law enforcement seeming to do basically nothing to deter this kind of behavior, not really following up on what's basically Hitler shit here in America, etc.
Yes. I saw a clip of a "protest" in Britain. Police cautioned an observer to not display the Union Jack because it might be "inflammatory."

He's not telling them they can't wave it, he's telling them not to hang them over the barriers. I don't know the reason for the distinction, it kind of implies they were concerned about people interfering with the barriers.
I was only joking

Yes, it was that clip.
Two takeaways:
-
Is "Waive" the British way of adding colo(u)r to the act of flying a flag?
-
"THere's way more of them than there are of us." Brave Sir Robin, tbh.
"Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08
The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

"Wave" is waving the flag about. Like you're waving your hand, but you do it with a flag. The more boisterous folk might shout "Hooray", or other things as well.
"Waive" would be something else entirely. Our spelling isn't that confusing

He's a German, apparently. Schpelling is not their schpeciality.
And, of course, it's the Daily Express, which is a low-brow version of the Daily Mail.

It's worth remembering that the British police aren't blessed with the same firepower advantage that their American counterparts are given. The yanks would have brought in a tank and huge numbers of heavily armoured (sic) gentlemen (sic). The British coppers have to cope with a talent for sarcasm and a raised eyebrow.

No coincidence this occurred on the 85th anniversary date of Kristallnacht
And the 100th anniversary of the Beer Hall Putsch!
