Can someone explain this "news" "story" to me? http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-30148768

Are white vans somehow special in England?  What is strange about having English flags?  Why did people feel it necessary to say that "white vans, England flags, they're Labour values and actually pretty routine Labour values for most of us"?  Are vans colored in certain colors really so important in the UK?  Why does everyone treat it to be implicitly true that it was "snobbish" to take a picture of a house with a white van and English flags and post it on Twitter?  Why would taking such a picture and posting it publicly be grounds for this MP to offer her resignation?
