Im VERY English, And VERY proud of it. But the only time people in this country have the guts, or can be bothered to fly an English flag is every 4 years at a poxy football match. Even the hypocite Government are going to fly one over number 10!!! They havent got the nerve to fly it all year round! But they'll do it for a poxy football tornament!!!! OUR country is being taken over by all nationalities. We are not allowed to be English anymore incase we offend some foriegner. If you are white, english and christian in this country you might as well give up. Yet the ONLY time anyone has the guts to stand up and say "WE ARE ENGLISH AND PROUD" is for a football tornament! Any other time everyone just sits back and lets our traditions, our way of life be pushed aside to suite Muslims and anyone else who ISNT English......... Im pi**ed off with seeing all these cheap tac meaningless red and white flags. All they mean these days is "Football!!" No longer are they something to be proud of. And all you lot who have them fluttering all over your cars and hanging out of your windows would probably run and hide under the stairs if England ever REALLY needed your support. Would you be waving your cheap tac flags and shouting INGERRRRLAND then???? I think not. Patriotic????? Dont make me laugh!!!

why does it upset you so much that someone is flying an england flag? thats quite a rant..
no way, I am proud every 2 years if we get into euro 2012 :-) And I've been told to take my flag down anyway.
So what do you do to support your country?
.............and breathe............

I dont have a problem with the flags as such..... But I do have a problem with the hypocricy of it all..... After the football all the flags will go away and everyone will go back in their holes and not give a damn about the country. Where are all the flag wavers when the bodies come back from Afganistan??? there might be a handfull. where are all the flag wavers on the 11th November every year?? All you get at the war memorials are a few old soldiers.
how do you know football supporters do not support troops in afganistan? or are not patriotic?? just admit that you find the flags annoying.

its not the done thing to cover your house in england flags at the announcement of army deaths
You are being very generous with your sweeping generalisations.............
sod it, i'm sick of people bringing up this same crap, either be glad we're in the world cup and let people do what they want or keep quiet, it's causing ill feeling for no reason, some people are never happy.
I'm sure they have people lining the streets when soldiers are bought back home, and lots of people wear those help the heroes bands and always in news and always music singles and things bought out to help the heroes.
I know non-English people living here who are proud to have the flag out to support their adopted country, and some of them are Muslims too (I have no idea why you dragged religion into this).
and don't assume anything about people like me who have flags on their cars, that is small minded and bigoted and basically you are an out and out snob
If we are going to complain abot people supporting the wrong things how about free the walford one or no jail for gail, now that is just stupid.
