Get the Flag Planting mug.Flag Fad (2025 UK): In 2025, the UK witnessed a notable trend called the "Flag Fad," where national flags were displayed extensively across the country, spurred by political and patriotic motivations. This surge led to debates about nationalism, prejudice, and cultural identity. Over time, some people went as far as painting zebra crossings and mini roundabouts overnight with St. George’s Cross, effectively turning everyday urban features into displays of national pride. This phenomenon sparked controversy and even led to the creation of special police units to remove unauthorized flags. Eventually, the "flag fad" faded away by December 2025, leaving behind a complex cultural memory.
