Emily Thornberry sacked last year for holding working-class voters in "contempt" by appearing to mock a family's terrace home draped in England flags. and now a Labour Party candidate wrote a blog posting in which he said anyone who flies an England flag is a "simpleton or casual racist".
Are these unpatriotic Labourites the type of people we want running our country?

If you allow that Wales has its own 'National Identity', then surely these words must have great resonance for those who champion the English National Identity?
///“It truly shows the degree our society has been infiltrated by incomers who are not ready to integrate.
“Very often, from what I see, some flying English flags are young people, who have been brought up in Wales, but who are loyal to England. This raises questions about us as Welsh people as well.
"It’s true that the parents are at fault, but it’s obvious that the education system has failed to create a Welsh Nationalism in these people, and I wonder also how many of us Welsh people, in our school days, tried to bring these people (aka chavs) into the Welsh circle."
Where is states 'Welsh' swap it for 'English/British' and where it says 'English' swap it for 'Pakistani/Polish/Muslim, etc' and see if you still feel as outraged.
