It should be illegal. That's why people are annoyed.
Why? And also, it's not? So why are we having this conversation
That's the national conversation. Might be why people are flying the flags.
Ahahah there we are. I figured the mask would slip eventually.
So in your view "ignore the law or we'll be racist" makes sense?
Flying the flag of England isn't illegal.
No but not processing asylum claims and resting refugees as criminals is.
The law should be changed then
What are you even on about at this point
What national conversation btw, you aren't british
???
You said so earlier, you were speaking second hand about flags in England as you had no first hand experience
That doesn't mean I'm not British, what are you on about.
And you're the one saying I'm not well researched
Yeesh fair enough, genuinely my mistake. Your British and you've never been to England?
I've been to England a few times, so no. And I saw plenty of St George's crosses. Some from houses, some on public buildings, in shops, on churches, etc. I don't believe everyone was flying it because they were racist.
Nobody ever claimed it was every one
