Martin Daubney has launched a scathing attack on a Labour MP after he claimed that Britons feel “uneasy” about the patriotic display of the country’s flag.
Hitting out at Jeevun Sandher’s remarks, the GB News host declared that “this is the United Kingdom”, and those in the Labour Party criticising the flag are “ashamed and embarrassed” of British flags.
Sharing a video on social media, Mr Sandher claimed: “I see flags painted on roundabouts, and that is just a bit weird. And, you know, you’ve seen it online and I see it in my inbox, that this does make people feel uneasy. And they ask, what message are these flags supposed to be sending?
“Now, look, I’ll take people at their words, people who say, this is about national pride. I’m proud of my country, too, and I’m proud of our flag. But I do understand why others feel that it’s about excluding people, why others feel that it’s about saying who belongs here and who doesn’t.”

Taking aim at the Labour MP, Martin fumed: “Once again, it’s the case of a Labour politician embarrassing this country on the world stage.
“Once again they cannot help themselves, they should just admit it, they’re embarrassed and ashamed of our flag.”
Disagreeing with Martin, GB News Senior Political Commentator Nigel Nelson argued that some people “may feel uncomfortable” with the increasing display of flags.
He told Martin: “He was saying that people feel uncomfortable in his particular area. If his constituents have come to him and said, ‘look, we actually we think those flags mean that you don’t like migrants’ or something like that, then you can understand them feeling uncomfortable.

“We’ve had people in people in this studio who’ve talked about putting up flags, and they’ve talked about unity, about the pride in Britain, and I accept all that, if that’s what the flags are about, that’s great.”
Martin then interjected, stating: “What about the Ukrainian flags that went up all those years ago, they were all over the shop, they never got taken down? What about the Palestinian flag? Again all over the shop, and they weren’t taken down by councils, Tower Hamlets had them up there for two years?”
Nigel then responded: “I’m not suggesting the flags are taken down. I’m perfectly happy to have them all over my village, what I am saying is that technically, it is a breach of the law to stick a flag on a local authority lamppost.”
Questioning the left’s “problem” with Britain’s flags, Martin hit back: “I ask you this question time and time again, why is it the Left that have a problem with our flags? Jeevun Sandher is saying it’s a bit weird, people feel uneasy, no they don’t.

“If they do, tough. This is the United Kingdom. Grow to cherish and love our flag. If you’re truly ambitious about integration, learn to appreciate our flag and stop feeling weird about it.”
Nigel told Martin: “Where the discomfort comes in depends on the motive of the people who put them there. You can understand why people feel uncomfortable, the flags went up at around about the same time the flags were turning up outside migrant hotels.”
Martin furiously interjected again, arguing: “Why were people putting flags up not just outside hotels, but across the nation? because they feel our nation is going down the khazi. It was a link with migration, and it was a link saying there’s too much of it. It’s uncontrolled, nobody’s speaking about it, and by the way, it’s endangering communities.
“And every time you mention it, you’re called far-right, a racist or a fascist. That’s the point. And it’s interpreted in that way by MPs like Jeevun Sandher, by people from the Left who I think are completely and utterly misreading the nation.”
