FAQs

We aren't a single organisation. There are many groups and networks throughout the UK dedicated to making it a better place. For removing flags specifically, we recommend an old school approach: talk to likeminded friends and see if they'd be up for working together with you. 

Although we aren't affiliated in any way, we've also found that looking around local/ community groups on social media or joining your local Stand Up To Racism branch is a great way to find your people! Find your SUTR branch.

Of course! Removing misused flags is only part of the work. For more information on how you can support removal operations without doing the physical part, read Volume 1 of our publications.

You could also consider reporting the areas affected by unauthorised flags to your local group of volunteers (check social media).

For ideas on how you can uphold the second tenet of our mission (Reclaim the UK), take a look at the page of other initiatives we support.

We don't. 

We love our country, which is precisely why we will defend it, and its flags, from being misrepresented by organised hate groups.

A properly displayed flag being flown for a national sporting event, a public holiday or day of recognition (e.g. St. George's Day, Remembrance Day),  or on your own property at any time to show a bit of pride is a wonderful thing. Cheap polyester tat zip-tied to lamp posts under the direction of far-right thugs and literal fascists is not.

Short version: our flags are pro-Britain, not anti-immigration, and we're going to make sure it stays that way.

Yes, we do. Does that answer surprise you?

The erosion of British life and culture is a very real thing and it's legitimately under threat, but immigrants are not the cause. Think of some of the cornerstones of our culture, for example:

• The rollicking, green landscapes of the countryside, immortalised by some of the greatest artists and poets that ever lived, and our right to roam them: threatened by the continual shrinking of common land, restrictions from wealthy landowners and property development lobbyists attempts to undermine green belt protections.

• Our incredible food and drink. Despite all the stereotyping, we have some of the best food in the world. The rest of the world is now increasingly unable to experience what we have to offer due to barriers from Brexit, and it's becoming inaccessible to many at home due to the cost of living crisis.

• Our celebrations and observations! Christmas, Hogmanay, Easter, Pancake Day and Lent, Burns Night, Remembrance Day and VE Day, morris dancing, wassailing and the appearance of the Mari Lwyd, cheese rolling, Guy Fawkes Night, the list goes on.
  
  All of these things still exist and they will go on existing as long as you make the effort to participate and make them happen. Examples of actual erasure of these events include a poppy display nearly getting cancelled and Christmas lights being unable to be displayed due to flags going up on lamp posts!

As long as British culture is accessible to the masses, it's alive and ever changing, but the elite few are putting it behind an increasingly high paywall. Wealth driven far-right rhetoric is the mortar that keeps the bricks in place. If the death of our culture and way of life comes, it will be because we did not smash down that wall.
