I can't believe that I'm having to ask this question in an international forum. I'm English. I was born in England of English parents who were also born in England. I'm proud of this, and of my heritage and the achievements of my country. I'm not proud to be thought of as British. Recently there has been an upsurge in the flying of the cross of St George, and the treasonous UK government has vilified this. I've been given such a flag, and I'm displaying it in my van as a protest against its banning. It annoys me that the Welsh, Scots, and Irish are allowed to be proud of their heritage ( which they should be ), but we English are called racists if we declare that we are English. I believe that everyone should be proud of their heritage, and when you lose that, you lose a major part of your identity and personality.
What do you guys think? Am I a racist for flying the flag of my country?
most protestors arrested were not exactly arrested just for holding a flag/being english, but reciting racist chants whilst holding the flag
but not want to be called out to family/friends as racist so dont mention what they were chanting that got them actually arrested
its like them 'karens' that walk their dogs and then cause arguments with local shop owners and neighbours
about their "emotional support animal". its the argument
and lack of control of emotions that gets them in trouble, but then they twist it into somehow that people are against them being a pet owner
same goes for those painting(graffiti) the flag on roads and walls. its not the flag.. its the act of graffiti
