The neighbour has a popular social media page pushing British content

A man has taken revenge on his neighbour by flying an even bigger Union Jack flag after he received complaints about his smaller one.

Colin shares "patriotic" content on the social media platform TikTok, where he has amassed over 20,000 followers.


In a recent viral video, footage shows Colin explaining his decision to remove the original flag after receiving the complaint.

He then reveals his bold solution of flying an even bigger flag.

Colin is heard saying in the video: "Someone didn't like it, they complained to the council."

A woman in the video, known as Dawn, questions the neighbour's complaint, to which Colin replies: "Well, because that's what people do nowadays, they complain about everything don't they?"

The TikToker then demonstrates his solution by raising a considerably larger Union Jack up the flagpole, adding: "If they complain again, do you know what I'm going to do? I'll get an even bigger one!"

The video prompted enthusiastic responses from numerous supporters who praised Colin's patriotic stance.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

"Hoist that beautiful flag high. I salute the flag and you sir," one TikTok user commented on the post.

Another supporter simply encouraged: "Go bigger Colin!"

A third viewer expressed similar sentiments, writing: "Our beautiful Union Jack can never be big enough. Fly her with pride sir."

Despite the supportive comments, several viewers noticed a significant error in Colin's patriotic display.

"Great but it's upside down, wide white stripe should be on top against flag pole," one user observed.

Another commenter said: "Colin it's upside down, the white broad bit should be at the top. It's a distress call which is probably about right. Who is going to save us?"

The neighbour row follows a schoolgirl who was stopped from giving a speech about being British while wearing a Union Jack dress.

Courtney Wright, 12, spoke with her father about the experience on GB News.
