British flag shaggers caught on camera bullying older man

While it’s died down a bit, a wave of ‘flag mania’ struck Great Britain in 2025. The people responsible for it operated under the name ‘Raise the Colours’, with the group being made up of notorious racists from Britain’s far right.

One of the infamous shitbags in question is Ryan Bridge, who you can see here bullying an older man.

Full respect to him, the older man refused to back down despite Bridge having a team of goons with him.

Flag group members are disgusting

This is what Hope not Hate wrote about Operation Raise the Colours:

HOPE not hate can reveal that the co-founder and organiser of the group is longtime Stephen Lennon (AKA Tommy Robinson) ally Andrew Currien (AKA Andy Saxon). Formerly a key member of the English Defence League’s leadership bodyguard team, and now running security for the far-right party Britain First, Currien has previously been jailed for his part in a racist death. He was one of six men convicted in 2009 after a 59-year-old man was crushed to death by a car following a violent brawl.

Bridge is another key member of the operation and he’s also linked to a £40 million fraud scandal, the Mirror reported in 2018.

Hope not Hate additionally reported:

Across the country, many of the small groups that have come together to raise the flags are being organised by well-known far-right extremists.

The group added:

Similarly, the far-right group Britain First claims to have provided many of the flags in the North West. “Britain First has, so far, donated 75% of its flag stock to local teams in Manchester and the West Midlands for ‘Operation Raise The Colours’,” tweeted leader Paul Golding.

A Bridge too far

The video at the top begins with Bridge shouting:

Do you understand?

The man, who seems to be outside his own home, answers:

No, I don’t understand.

Bridge yells in response:

Because you’re thick, that’s why.

He then says:

So let me educate you, old man.

In response, the older man says:

No, you won’t educate me.

He then puts a hand up to Bridge’s face before holding his arms up like a gorilla in front of one of the goons. After this, he pokes then goon in the chest and gives him a telling off.

While this is going on, Bridge is repeating, “Listen, listen, listen”, over and over, becoming increasingly whiny as he does so. The older man doesn’t listen, though and walks off down the driveway.

In the end, the only colours raised were the flushes of red in Bridge’s cheeks.

Intimidation tactics

It’s unclear what Bridge wanted to educate the man on, but we can guess. Given that Bridge was wearing his Raise the Colours uniform, we can assume he was out and about shagging flags. Because he doesn’t have much in the way of common sense, he didn’t realise it’s a bad look to be shouting down local residents on the street.

Accordingly, we suggest that Bridge abandons the flag stuff and gets back to his day job (if he gets off with the alleged fraud, obviously).
