Efforts by local councils in the U.K. to effectively erase their history for the sake of “diversity” has triggered a counterreaction from die-hard patriots desperate to keep the nation’s history alive.
The movement, dubbed “Operation Raise the Colours,” centers on encouraging the British people to hoist/place St. George’s Cross and Union Jack flags in public spaces, like on lampposts and roundabouts.
Saint George’s Cross is a red cross on a white background, historically associated with Saint George, the patron saint of England since the 14th century. It forms the basis of the national flag of England and is a component of the Union Jack, the flag of the increasingly “woke” U.K.
They may strip the flags from our streets, but they can never strip the pride from our hearts. Raise the Colours.
For England. For our United Kingdom. For generations yet to come. #RaisetheColours ???????????????????????????????????? pic.twitter.com/qioTybGmFH— Great British PAC ???????? (@GreatBritishPAC) August 17, 2025
