Visiting London for a few days, and noticed a lot of half-mast flags: red cross on a white background (reminiscent of some crusaders, Templars?) any symbolism behind them being shredded? Its a lot of them, must have cost a ton of money…
If you get arrested for sex offences, you have to fly one of these flags on your house, so people know to stay away.
If an area has a large amount of sex offenders, they also have to add additional "paedo flags" to nearby lampposts etc as a warning to people travelling near the area.
I think they're likely just shredded because of the recent weather, and there's no additional symbolism there.
There's a small chance I might be incorrect, of course.
