Sutton-in-Ashfield Resident Completes Union Jack House Facade in Solo Protest

The mural reflects his support for the Raise the Colours campaign.

Overview

  • He turned an initial St George's Cross into a full Union Flag over three days, working about six hours a day.
  • He reports strong in-person backing from neighbours but says online abuse has left him feeling like "public enemy number one."
  • Some residents fear the paintwork could hurt property values, while others say it brightens the street.
  • He says the £60 DIY job is a "peaceful protest" against illegal immigration, choosing not to join marches.
  • He plans to keep the design unless authorities order its removal, in a town that has recently seen Raise the Colours activity and protests.
