Dunno. Maybe you're right. There's plenty of examples though, where English/British flags are flown with pride and not associated with far-right tendencies. Whether that's football, olympics, the Proms, Royal events. I think this is different though. People painting roundabouts, zebra crossings, erecting flags on lap-posts and motorway bridges. My personal opinion is that they absolutely are linked to far-right sympathisers, and my bigger worry is that this isn't the tiny minority that people keep claiming. There's clear evidence of this through the ballot box. I was elated when the Tories finally got kicked out, and never imagined Labour would be this bad. They couldn't be doing a better job at opening the door for Farage if they tried.
A couple of weeks ago I was on a Norweigan Cruise and some flag ****** had put one on their cabin door. Why, just WHY. I'm ashamed of the Union Jack and theST Georges flag because they have been usurped by stupid right wing morons. Nobody can fly one now if they don't want to be labelled a racist twonk.
