And people wonder why it costs councils a lot of money to pay for proper equipment and safety gear to put stuff like this on lampposts, instead of „just get a man with a ladder, it will be alright“.
[removed]
I suppose it’s a small price to pay for fiddling flags.
Rather this than some poor council worker who’s been tasked with taking them down
This feels like Covid again, when it swung round and all the normal people were all “oh I hope they developed a vaccine” but the ‘others’ were all “NAR! No vaccine 5g nano bots for me!”
And then they died of Covid.
This time, Councils are telling that same group of people “don’t climb the lampposts to put your flags up, because it’s dangerous”
And they’re all “CANT SILENCE ME!”
And then they fall off the lampposts (and die).
Some of these comments are disgusting. I have some very strongly held political beliefs, but I don’t want people who are opposed to those beliefs to DIE and I wouldn’t applaud if they died in an accident. It’s so sad to see the level to which political discourse in this country has fallen.
He could have at least taken the flag down before trying to shag it.
this is some grade A gold, VIZ drunken bakers shit, I love it.
A completely avoidable death if he wasn’t a racist prick.
„He was believed to be amongst the first individuals nationwide to be issued a football banning order upon their introduction, serving multiple prison sentences during his youth for violence connected to football“
„he reflected that whilst he harboured no regrets about his involvement with the CSF, he had evolved into a more mature individual with family responsibilities“
Just a flag shagging thug with no regrets about his previous violent life.
„Racist flag-shagger dies in tragic case of Darwinism“
This is why ladders are for ACCESS not to work off when working high up.
As predicted by this very sub on numerous occasions.
One for the darwin awards. Death by flagshagging. Sad for whoever had to pick him, and remove his flags.
Awww what a shame. He seemed like a really nice dude. So smart, funny.
Rest in piss my guy
Football hooligan, „patriot“, probably described by his associates as „a diamond“.
Although I have sympathy for his loved ones, it’s a case of FAFO, which is why the council’s advised them not to do this in case they got injured.
At least he died doing something he loved 🤣 what a melt
May he rest in peace, he died as he lived: an absolute bellend
Survived all those football riots just to be killed by a lamppost. It’s just not fair.
Family – Paul was a loving family man
Paul himself in his own books – Right so this guy looked at me funny and so i bashed his head in and the police had the cheek to throw me in jail so i punched one of them for being a Bristol Rovers fan.
Flag shagging inbred takes a tumble, is it really a great loss?
RIP IN PIECE HUN UR WIV DA ANGLES NOW XXX
As a tradesman who uses this kind of equipment all the time, and considering the sheer number of flags you see up lampposts on every street corner, I am actually surprised this didn’t happen sooner
Please make this the UK Charlie Kirk. It would be so fucking funny.
Those celebrating the death of a man putting up a flag are gross.
This wasn’t violence, it is exactly the kind of protest we should support. Not the message, not the act, but peaceful expressions of your politics like this are exactly what society needs.
Oh dear, how unfortunate.
Anyone up to anything interesting this weekend? Think I’ll be taking advantage of the unseasonable warmth to paint some window frames.
I was in a room with some council managers last week and the highways manager who deals with lamps was in there
His exact words were „we’ve just decided to leave em up in our town until they fall down or one of these guys falls and dies to avoid abuse of our staff, currently the public are still under the impression tying shit on lampposts with a ladder is perfectly normal and need to see why we have all the equipment we do, and why the public shouldn’t be going up there“
For anyone in the industry, this Darwin award was only a matter of when, not if
I’ve no doubt my company will recieve a HSE bulletin within a week covering this with the reminder of „this is why WAH needs careful planning“
His death will be used as a training tool by the safety sector, he just entered the dumb ways to die hall of fame
„robust political activism“
Hmmmm. Yes. Euphemismtastic.
I wonder if the job centre will fly their flag at half mast for yer man here lol.
From next week in UK:
Councils across the country will be sued by ‚heroes‘ who are risking their valuable lifes to climb lampposts.
There will be 362 new charities collecting money for them.
There will be 28 campaigns explaining the physics of climbing wet pipes to the public.
Lampposts engineers will go for strike and will demand 80% pay rise.
The Prime Minister will soon announce that safe climbing techniques will be part of GCSE and we need to raise the taxes to cover the costs.
There will be special TV shows where lamppost activists will campaign for making the lampposts horizontal as vertical ones are not safe for our children.
Stop Oil group will have a subdivision, with members gluing themselves to lampposts or throwing bottles of Worcestershire sauce at them.
Shame to see a Life taken, but it calls for a simple fix. Take control of the narrative around Union Flags and put them up
Woooo an approved target died, now time for a thread of people who spend 99% of their time on a moral high horse to sing in glee and dance around talking about how glad somebody died. Typical Reddit
