Flag watch.


There you go fella; it took someone from outside this green and prosperous (well until labour got in) land to point out the totally lame, limp wristed, spineless anti British fervour that has been allowed to take hold and ferment not only in the houses of power but also into our schools.

The rather small percentage of small minded bigots that use our flag on their literature are vastly outnumbered by these people who for years have devalued and lauded the so called fascist or old Empire affiliation with the Union Jack.

This has actually done as much if not more harm in propagating the BNP/NF drivel than they could have done themselves a thousand fold and has more than likely resulted in many people joining them as a result.

The disturbing thing is, until the national flag can be flown outside our schools, council offices, town centres, etc etc without these oxygen thieving, treason whispering, scaremongering wasters strengthening these notions, were playing straight into their hands.

As for Empires, we were not the first and defiantly haven’t been the last.

Hope nothing has been lost in translation, im going for a shave............
 

That’s exactly what I meant.... :lol:

As I said its primarily the media that perpetuate this view with their "Time to claim back the cross" articles etc

In the bad old days when right wing groups aligned themselves with supporting England they adopted the flag of convenience, couple that with the BNP hijacking St Georges day and you may indeed have a perception albeit a false one.

As soon as football and supporting England became popular it was over. As long as there is a flag selling shyster hoping to make a fast buck before every soccer tournament or match it will remain that way. I wouldn't give the media any credit.
 
It's funny this, cos the cross on the English flag is actually representative of Christianity. So there's religion thrown into the melting pot of this radioactive thread.

My work here is done

Born British, English by the grace of God
 
The 'St George' bit is too Christian for me . . . I prefer it being linked to the Old Germanic / Norse folk tale of Sigurd of the Volsungs who's 'rune' was Nyd which is a cross - often written in red.

Still, for fun I refer to it as the Crusader flag.
 

NO NO NO. Not Rolf Harris. That's just wrong. Tie me Kangaroo Down - yes, 2 little boys - fine but not Stairway to Heaven. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
