Well if the accompanying suggestion is that England is just for English people then clearly it’s not exactly a warm welcome for these people is it?

If you genuinely can’t think of a scenario where a foreigner living here could be intimidated by people weaponising our national flag then I think that shows a lack of imagination more than anything. Btw who said you have to “revere the flag”? It’s a flag ffs! There are a thousand things I’d...

You won’t get a straight yes or no on the Palestinian flag, the Israeli flag, or the British flag - it depends entirely on the context. You can try to pretend otherwise but it’s true. Can I fly a CCFC flag in public or does that get in the way of your flag rules?

A nice idea in theory. Meanwhile in the real world… What nonsense. It’s not the flag itself that some ethnic minorities are taking exception to, it’s the intimidation being implied. Saying that a flag is somehow core to British identity is just imported reheated American bollocks.

As I said above, there are likely instances where it surely does. Many Jewish groups have argued this - maybe you disagree?

I mean, the police would quite obviously take issue with your example there, they’ve done so many times. Would you wave around a Union Jack in the Celtic home end on Old Firm day? It’s all well and good saying you should be able to fly the flag of your residence wherever you want in this...

5-0 down at HT, all the cool kids are doing it!

Nothing, in other words. I suppose they all went up by coincidence.

I’m saying it could be considered as a provocation towards them, or as an act of intimidation.

I swear someone once put up a happy birthday message for him on the CBS big screen, am I just imagining that?

So can I ask what you do think then?

Name names!

People who don’t want asylum seekers to be targeted because of crimes committed by individual immigrants. Immigrant communities themselves even.

Well they’re clearly meant as provocations to some extent aren’t they? I don’t know why Nick is so shy to admit that.

What are they going up for then?

Symbolising what?

I suppose not, but are you saying they’ve been put up for no reason?

Why are they going up?

Would be absolutely mental if so.

Oh it’s a very good turnout no doubt. But I do think it shows that quite a few people bought tickets just for the points. Kind of inevitable when they’re priced so cheap but still a shame considering that many people missed out.
