Driving through Essex we are seeing lots of flags on lampposts. I'm not convinced of the motivation behind it, but they look like they are at half mast. That usually signifies that someone has died.

It does seem to be a regional thing. There were a few around Braintree. These people are in denial about the society we live in.
That’s interesting. Flags at half-mast usually indicate a period of mourning or respect after a significant loss or event. It might be worth checking if there has been a recent local or national tribute in Essex. Either way, the sight of so many flags together definitely catches the eye and makes you wonder about the story behind them.
No, this is an action by people who pretend they are patriotic, but are actually anti-immigrant (or just racist). The reason the flags are that high is down to how long their ladder is.
Probably UK itself? At least the nation that had once this name with its values and traditions.
