Visiting London for a few days, and noticed a lot of half-mast flags: red cross on a white background (reminiscent of some crusaders, Templars?) any symbolism behind them being shredded? Its a lot of them, must have cost a ton of money…

Its the flag of England, racists have been hanging them up all year.
They're half mast because the racists are too stupid or too scared to get a longer ladder.
No idea why they're shredded but they tend to use cheap Chinese made flags that don't hold up to the weather.
Do you think they sell them pre-distressed? Like designer jeans?
