As the ‘Raise the Flag’ movement continues to gather momentum, more and more of the terminally gullible are taking to the streets to hoist their made-in-China Union Flags and St. George’s Crosses from lampposts and motorway overpasses in a blatant display of patriotism/xenophobia.
It’s not just flags, of course. They’re defacing mini roundabouts and scrawling red crosses on pretty much anything that they come across.
And now they’ve turned to AI to further their cause. Here’s a video shared by ‘journalist’ and far-right agitator David Atherton, who calls it ‘one of the best AI generated videos I have ever seen’. Of course he does.
Dare you watch?
This video is one of the best AI generated videos I have ever seen. The English Lion is stirred & inspires a nation.
Inspired by an American we get back our country. Loved the Bacon Butties shop.

It’s a great one, with a small dose of that modest humour. It makes one proud to be English

Others, however, were a little harder to impress, and it got a little NSFW…

You sad twat. Imagine what England would be like if all these people who are putting flags here, there and everywhere, put half of their time, energy, passion into their communities doing things like litter picking, making sure food banks was ready for autumn/winter time

This is boomer-bait slop. Genuinely embarrassing. If this is the shit we’re sharing then England is already dead.
