Royalist street invaders

Be vigilant! They're in your neighbourhood!

Royalist street prowlers have been given flags and bunting (by whom, exactly? the council? and at what expense?) to spread the lie that Bristol loves an inbred family of reactionary multi-millionaires by the name of Saxe-Coburg Goethe.

These individuals seem to think they have the right to put up butchers aprons and mugshots of 'the queen' in every public space and street in the city. The offenders travel alone, with flags draped over their arms.

It is strongly recommended that they are challenged on sight, and that people raise objections to their seedy activity. Any bunting and flags already up should be ripped down and placed in the bins where they belong. Because they don't ask anyone, they just hang their litter up and carry on. They are so arrogant and ignorant of the crimes of British imperialism that they just 'expect' that no-one will object.

If you are able to get word on who gave them this rubbish to hang up and afflict the eyes, then you could also register an outraged complaint.

Their street as much as your's unfortunately. By all means tear it down, but it's no worse than the multitudes of crappy black and white xerox benefit gig posters that spread the lie that Bristol loves a bunch of soap dodging anarcho-punk bands.

Actually indifferent to the Royal family but tempted to get bunting to annoy folks like you.

I'm a Republican but I don't agree with this. We live in a free country so if people want to put up buntin and flags they should be free to do so
Ripping them down is just imposing your will on others. If we are to win people to the cause of anti Monarchy we need to be winning the arguments not acting like authoritarian killjoys.

Terminator X - you seem to have confused being in favour of freedom with being a tyrant.

Let them have their fun. Enjoy the two days off for working people.
