On war and peace
Flags are flying in Faversham, but not the usual fragile versions of the Union flag and the St George’s Cross. Whenever these traditional flags appear, the town’s “ninjas” come out at night to reclaim the streets using their makeshift flag-removal tools.
Recently, a set of cheap knock-off flags resembling the British Legion “Lest we forget” design have been provocatively attached to lampposts near the town’s war memorial. These flags were placed by Faversham’s small, divided group of flag enthusiasts, seemingly to challenge the nocturnal “ninjas” to take them down.
"As soon as these appear the town’s “ninjas” emerge in the night to reclaim the streets with their improvised flag-removing tools."
"These new flags were positioned by Faversham’s fast-diminished and faction-ridden collection of flag-shaggers to provoke the night-time “ninjas” to remove them."
Author’s summary: The ongoing clash in Faversham between flag supporters and night-time “ninjas” reflects local tensions around symbols of remembrance and community pride.
