Birmingham City Council decided to ban the English flag and the flag of St George. For “public safety”

As the 25th anniversary of September 11 approaches, Canadian public television has asked newsrooms not to speak of “terrorist attacks.”
In the camp of the Good, the day has now arrived when they criminalize patriotism, an obstacle to building the multicultural dream with eyes wide open.
Welcome to Birmingham, Britain’s second-largest city, for a few months now administered by a Muslim mayor, Zaker Choudhry.
For “public safety,” Birmingham City Council decided to ban the English flag and the flag of St George.
Yes, you read that right. When they want to take a liberty from you they will always invoke your “safety.”
And if your memory is short: the city of Birmingham, again for “public safety,” decided to ban Israeli fans.
And before that it had been Bristol’s turn.
The Green-led city council issued its own fatwa against the English flag to ensure that Bristol remained “welcoming, respectful and safe for everyone during the tournament.”
No flag – but celebrating Ramadan inside one of England’s landmark cathedrals is fine.
If things go badly – and the way they are going – Birmingham is the city where we will all live at the end of the long multicultural night.
A city where fewer than half of residents are now white, one in three is Muslim, the vast majority of social housing has gone to people not born in the United Kingdom, one in seven openly rejects a British or English identity and more than one in five lives in households where the adults do not speak English.
Birmingham spent several million on a project to rename streets to reflect the woke creed, such as “Diversity Grove” or “Equality Road.”
In the city the muezzin calls to prayer. But the flag of St George is a public danger. That is what happens when you lose control of your country.
Muslim children in Birmingham have overtaken Christians.
Churches are becoming mosques.
Imams explain how women are stoned.
And at the university, Jews are no longer welcome: “Death to Zionists.”
“In the working-class neighborhood of Small Heath, 95 percent of the population is Muslim,” Le Figaro reports. “Shops have different closing times corresponding to the daily prayers… Bookshops are religious. Travel agencies guarantee ‘Muslim friendly’ holidays with destinations where clients – especially female clients – are offered access to facilities with single-sex spaces and pools where women can ‘preserve their modesty.’”
Another area is Sparkhill, the Telegraph reports:
“In the last remaining pub in Sparkhill, if the Guinness signs weren’t enough, the gold lettering painted above the door should be: ‘Licensed to sell intoxicating liquor of all kinds.’ Clear, then. ‘There were 23 pubs in Sparkhill and this is the last one left,’ says owner Mark McDwyer. The Salah Al-Shahrazuri mosque is one of five in Sparkhill.”
Today there are more than 200 mosques in Birmingham.
In Birmingham in 2005 there were the first immigration riots in all of Europe.
Today, to temper the effects of the same catastrophe, they ban the flag.
Welcome to the future!
