🇬🇧 This is Simon Brocklehurst, who "became public enemy number one" after slapping a giant Union Jack on the front of his house. He has now been told he will no longer be allowed to volunteer as Father Christmas at his local shopping centre. Mr Brocklehurst, known for years as the Sutton-in-Ashfield Santa, was planning to once again hand out presents in his handcrafted sleigh at the Idlewells Shopping Centre in Nottinghamshire. 🎅 He says he is "gutted" to be banned from taking part this year, but bosses say his removal has nothing to do with his proud flag parade. The 42-year-old, who unexpectedly burst into the limelight locally after painting the St George's Cross on the front of his home, has given up his time at Christmas to for the past four years. Mr Brocklehurst first painted a St George's Cross on the side of his house last September in response to his England flag being ripped down. Before long, he decided to add a splash of blue to turn the flag into the Union Jack. 🫡 He explained he wanted to represent the "freedom" that his grandfather fought for in the Second World War - and feels he his removal is down to how his home looks. He told the Nottingham Post: "I do it all for free and I buy the presents I'd just spent a grand and a half on a giant inflatable snow globe and built a model village. "They previously said I could do it and I was just trying to do a good thing. There are people that come from miles and miles away just to see me. I don't want them to be disappointed."

Another successful day. Although the opposition was very underwhelming. 30 odd dopes looking like they were on route to a Halloween party. 🤣

Patriots of Britain were down in Braintree today at the Essex unites event, we were asked by the organisers to help with security as there was going to be a planned counter demo by the left. This is that opposition, its like the hills have eyes, we could smell them before we saw them 😂

Fantastic work from the entire community. 👏

The only statue we won't be protecting on the 20th.
