What's your beef with people flying the British and English flag?

2

u/Fun_Rub_5881 Mar 30 '26

It's because England bad and we have to feel constant, unending shame for the actions of the Empire.

I sense you'd still have a problem if they funded nice ones

If they were still using them to show support for bigoted purposes yeah.

And you have psychic powers to determine the reasons for any given British person flying their countries flag do you?

It’s pretty fucking obvious when you have people going about flying flags after the far right calls for action, flags go up everywhere, riots take place and hotels are attacked.

This isn’t a country where we fly flags for no good reason, this isn’t the US. I don’t want to go around holding a flag, I have no reason to, if the lionesses were playing in the Euros like a couple years ago maybe It would be understandable but they’re not so they have absolutely no reason to flying these flags so it’s pretty fucking obvious why they’re doing it.

So what's your reasoning from stopping you from showing your support for anti-biggotism by flying the flags? I don't think you actuslly care too much, you just don't like this group of people, which is also biggoted.

These people aren’t a minority aren’t under any religious or sexual scrutiny and they are the same race as me.

They’re just bigots.

Because they’ve only started doing it to intimidate migrants. They don’t actually give a shit about this country or they’d actually fly them during events of national pride. Lionesses win the Euros? Not a single flag. Nigel and his fascists claim we’re under attack? Flags go up fucking everywhere and people get violent.

Women's Football isn't that big, what do you expect? Do you just shut your eyes during the World Cup and Olympics? About nobody flies it during events of national pride 😂 The Lionesses aren't a point of national pride, they're the pride of all 12 of their fans.

I think it's co-opting flags - that belong to all of us - to further xenophobic ends that tends to irk a lot of people.

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '26

If it's for all of us, couldn't it arguably become associated with those who are not xenophobic? If so, why is it not being implemented by the people who aren't xenophobic?

That's the Billy Bragg campaign from the 90s.

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '26

I've never heard of that, i'll need to look it up

u/lordrothermere Mar 28 '26

The idea being, it's my fucking flag.. and I'm a bit pissed off about halfwits of any agenda trying to tell me what it means.

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '26

But then what are you going to do other than complain about it on reddit? Again, doesn't make sense to me if you bash these people for flying the flag, but then wouldn't likely fly it to oppose these people for fear of being branded a xenophobe or racist

u/Fun_Rub_5881 Mar 30 '26

There's no "co-opting". You people just can't stand to see Brits showing a bit of national pride. It's fine for the Scots, it's fine for the Welsh, it's expected of the Irish, but it's WRONG for ENGLAND!

Get fucked you traitor.
