People who fly English flags are racist. This is a quite extraordinary blanket generalisation. On what grounds would these people automatically be racists? During recent World Cup and European Championship and football competitions, a number of my closest neighbours had the English flag prominently displayed outside and inside the windows of their houses. A Chinese hi-tech entrepreneur who lived next door to me, and a black car mechanic around 6 doors or so away BOTH had such flags on display during those tournaments, and well after England's participation. Who exactly are these fine neighbours of mine being racist towards please? |

Several years ago I lived in Cornwall, and the Cornish are great ones for flying their St Pirans flag. However when England are playing football or during the rugby world cup, there are English flags everywhere. Mebyon Kernow hate it. In a local newspaper I read a letter from a separatist who called the flag "the butcher's apron" and said the flag was culturally confusing for the Cornish.
 But it was just people from all walks of life showing their support for the national team. One guy who lived near me was a football mad Sikh who had a Cornish accent. He had flags all over his house for any comps and I wouldn't describe him as racist. Although tbf he wasn't a fan of Islam. |

Labour despise the white working class every but as much as the Tories. A pathetic band. How dare that gentlemen have a flag of his country outside his property. Still she can go back to her 3 million pound pad now

think your missing the point ,she may be a bit dim but doubt she was thinking of patriots or racists but more about him been a chav,
millions of people had car flags during the world cup but if one pulled up next to you tomorrow at the traffic lights ,you,d glance across and think what a chav,or some would me included probably |

By:
No they go along with the notion that the flag represents racist football fans and little englanders, hence why labour run councils ask the flag to be taken down during such tournaments as they may cause offence.
Did you listen to James O Brien on LBC today cos he was saying exactly the same what you are? |

I'm talking about those that fly the flag from their tenements or battlements ( and everything in between) 52 weeks a year. |

CMAT...yes.. i worked in them all during my 21 years with ARD.I do remember working in Fife rd on relief and after cashing up realised i was £200 short.I left the shop around midnight after going through all the paper work.till rolls. bets anything i could think of.
Dopey Doris turned up the next day and informed me she had hidden the 200 at the back of the till and forgot to tell me..i wouldn't mind so much but i had phoned her home the previous evening and she didn't even mention what she had done..her name was Pat Mcalinsky..did you know her?..she was well known in the canning town area. PS.She didn't even apologise  |

put it another way if you thinking of buying a house and next door had england flags flying out of the windows, would it put yopu off,does that make us all snobs This is the point. It's got nothing to do with racism. The Sun may be correct and the house is worth &175,000, but the ones either side are worth £50,000 less. |

I didn't know her. I used to live in Fife Road in a tower block, but rarely used the shop there. I used the one in Hermit Road a lot, and now and again, the one opposite the Red House. I used to bung the cashier in there when I won and could always get a back price of a few shows on a gambled horse if I wanted one. She did well when I had a big bet on Reference Point some years ago, it was 5/4 when I got 13/8, how she never got bollocked I don't know.
The worst cashier to have in your shop was the Laddie's bird Maureen Brewer. She was a relief cashier, and wherever she went, there was a shortage in the other till, the one she wasn't working on. Came to my shop for a job once, as soon as she left I threw her application form in the bin. |

I had a nice result on a bet I facked up on footie in Hermit Road years ago.
I had originally gone in there to see a bloke about backing a dog at the Wick, then I was off to an ATM to get some money, but he never showed up. I had to get to work and had no time to study horses, so I picked out 7 footie teams for a tenner acca, which was all I had in my pocket in cash. I went to work and got home at 5-30.Sitting on the khazi (as you do) with the door open listening to the telly to check the results, I got the 3rd and 5th matches wrong, I screwed up the ticket, and when I got to the kitchen I said to my Mrs 'Useless bastards!!' and threw it in the bin.  She said 'You checked that quick, check it again' and got it from the bin. How lucky can you get???? I had only listened to the results and not checked my ticket. Instead of 5 homes and 2 aways I had ticked of all 7 homes. Iirc, Man Utd got turned over, and so did Spurs, both well odds on. I had both home teams. I worked out what I had going on to Sunday's match and it was nigh on £700. I think it was Liverpool v West Bromwich. I had a bet on West Brom and the draw, so I won, whatever the result was. Liverpool won, and when I got in the shop on Monday he said 'Was that a mistake' and laughed. I remember laughing and saying 'Why, don't you pay out on fack ups?' I bunged him and the cashier who was in. Whether they gave a tip to the afternoon cashier I have no idea. Was the shop just down the road from the Red House a Laddies when you were in Dennis's, or did Oxlow Bookmakers still have it? |

I'm surprised at you asking such a question akabula. The Saltire is flown all over Scotland. Are the Scots racist? No of course not.
It's troublesome that people jump to conclusions in this way. If they did it about other races it would be called prejudice if not outright racism. It seems that the white working class are fair game for a kicking from the luvvies. Well it seems they have had enough and are kicking back. Good. |

The problem with the English flag is that it is still associated with racism.
The problem with the British flag is that it looks incredibly tacky. |

I'm surprised at you asking such a question akabula. The Saltire is flown all over Scotland. Are the Scots racist? No of course not.] In the village I live in, and in neighbouring villages, I'd never seen a saltire flown from a house until the referendum. Granted some are still up but to say they are flown all over Scotland isn't true. |
