Summary

🇬🇧 The War on British Patriotism | Why Is ‘Flag Shagger’ an Insult?

 #Britishpatriotism #culturewar #flagshagger #UKpolitics #JonGaunt

Jon Gaunt tackles one of the UK’s most controversial and censored debates in this hard-hitting live show: Why has the term “flag shagger” become a viral insult—and why is it now offensive to love your country, fly the Union Jack, or support Britain’s armed forces and traditions?

 Tonight’s debate dives deep into: The war on British patriotism Free speech & political correctness Classism and media snobbery Who really benefits from mocking national pride This isn’t just about words—it’s about culture, identity, and the future of Britain.

⚠️ Disclaimer: The term “flag shagger” is used in this video solely as political slang, commonly heard in UK debates around patriotism and national identity. It is not used here with any sexual or explicit intent. This show is intended for political commentary, debate, and educational purposes only.

 🎙️ Key Discussion Points: Is patriotism being deliberately undermined in Britain? Are terms like “flag shagger” just classist attacks on working-class pride? Is defending your country common sense—or now seen as controversial? Does shaming national pride weaken society?

Good evening. Welcome to the John Gaunt podcast. Tonight, the war on British patriotism.

0:07.9

And why is flag shagger an insult? And why do the left wing people think they can just use that and use the word gammon?

0:17.0

Isn't it racist? I want your views. Come on. Get them on the comments now and we'll have a damn good discussion. Because my name is John Gort and this is a very, very important subject. It's one of the biggest culture war debates in the United Kingdom today. Why is flag shagger now a viral insult? And why is British patriotism, our love for our flag, our country, our culture, under constant attack?

0:47.3

If people don't like it, bye, bye, leave. Why are ordinary Brits like you and I mocked just for waving the Union flag or for supporting our armed forces?

1:01.0

Or for daring to say we're proud of our history and culture? Why does loving Britain, your own country, now make you a target for insults, terrorism, bullying, criminal acts?

1:17.8

And why is it okay to call somebody gammon, but it's not okay to use a different term for other parts of our community.

1:28.5

It's wrong, just like ageism in this country.

1:32.1

It's wrong, but it's allowed.

1:35.1

So I'm going to get to the truth tonight.

1:37.2

No spin, none of this media snobbery.

1:40.7

I just want to have a real debate about national pride,

1:51.2

British patriotism, free speech and class politics, because it all comes down to class.

1:54.8

Let me just finish this little bit for now, saying this.

1:57.8

Patriotism isn't performative.

2:00.0

It's called loyalty.

2:04.6

It's called loving your country, wanting to protect it,

2:09.8

wanting to defend it, something which most politicians don't understand, which is why we've got the crisis at Dover. The day after 7-7, the 20th anniversary, we're no safer than we were back in that day in July. No safer whatsoever.

2:23.5

Why? Because our politicians hate our country and they haven't protected us. So when you wave the

2:30.9

union flag, when you honour our fallen heroes, when you stand proud for the national anthem, you're not putting on a show.

2:41.7

You're respecting our shared identity.

2:45.5

Your respecting sacrifice.

2:47.9

And most importantly, you're recogn and identifying and respecting the history that built
