Let's go and have a look at the Urban Dictionary...
Flagshagger :
Someone who thinks patriotism can only be extreme nationalism.
Wrapping themselves tightly in their country's flag, singing (badly and without knowing the words let alone the meanings) patriotic songs and rolling out such displays at all opportunities as proof of their 'loyalty'.
The flagshagger knows little about the history of the country but frequently re writes it to suit jingoistic, xenophobic & very frequently racist rhetoric.
All flagshaggers are the pathetic remnants of grooming gangs known as 'trumpists', 'brexiteers' or similar who they will aggressively defend in a frightening display of 'Stockholm syndrome'.
Flagshaggers are useful only for their votes and once these are used they are cast aside.
Hey have you been to 'parler' recently? Oh no! Why would I do that? It's a septic pus filled bubble of flagshaggers just like talk radio & Fox News!
Or
Are you going to watch 'last night of the proms'? Oh yes, just as soon as I can get the stains out of my flag from getting over excited at the latest home office advert about immigrants.
Flagshagger is a term which has become more and more well known in recent years due to the emboldenment of the jingoistic far right. It's also the opening track on a very fine new ep by Sheffield garage punks Mouthparts (https://www.facebook.com/mouthpartsband). The ep is titled Leakin' Goo and it's available on cassette and digital download via Noise Merchant Records :
Here's a lyric video featuring some of the planet's "most beloved" politicians. This is Flag Shagger...
