Operation Raise The Colours: Why This Patriotic Uprising is Britain's Wake-Up Call
Share

Across Britain’s streets, from sleepy suburbs to bustling city centres, a sea of red, white, and blue is rising - Union Jacks fluttering from lampposts and bridges, St George’s Crosses boldly painted on roundabouts. It’s not a football final or a royal jubilee; it’s Operation Raise The Colours, a grassroots uprising that’s got the establishment in a spin. But why does it matter? At its core, this movement is a defiant reclamation of national pride, a visual manifesto from the silent majority shouting, “Enough is enough” to the chaos of uncontrolled mass immigration and the destruction of our country.

Operation Raise The Colours emerged from the growing peaceful protests across the country against illegal migrant hotels. It’s grassroots, spontaneous, and it’s spreading like wildfire. From Birmingham’s suburbs to Tower Hamlets in east London, ordinary Brits are hoisting Union Jacks and St George’s Crosses on lampposts, hanging flags on bridges, painting them on mini roundabouts - it's wonderful to see.

I live in the West Country, and you only have to drive five minutes before you’re surrounded by fluttering flags. It’s everywhere, and it’s the same across the country. The movement is genuinely huge, with activists like the Weoley Warriors in Birmingham raising over £20,000 through GoFundMe to buy more flags and ladders. These heroes have hung around 1,500 already, and are vowing to replace any that get torn down.

It’s heartening, isn’t it? Seeing those red, white, and blue symbols gives you a sense that you’re not alone in thinking the way this country is run is utterly insane. There are millions of people in this country who think the same.

The British public have been voting to lower and control immigration for decades and they have been consistently lied to and betrayed. We certainly didn’t vote for thousands of unvetted illegal migrants to break into our country and put in luxury hotels courtesy of the taxpayer. Raising The Colours is a peaceful but firm pushback, a way for people to reclaim their streets without a single brick thrown.

Of course, the outraged leftists and local councils are having a meltdown. They’ve been pulling down flags faster than you can say “empty my sodding bins”…
