This group, under the guise of patriotism, is plastering Birmingham with Union flags and the Cross of St George—often without any permission—while peddling a simplistic, exclusionary worldview. Bridge frequently tours the city with his crew, proudly displaying his own merchandise as he plants flags in neighborhoods like Stirchley, one of his favorite hotspots.
