--- Quote from: "Elmo" ---Being born on St George's Day I think we should show more pride in our country. The flag of St George hangs in my bar with pride.

I just wish that

a) It wasn't seen as racist to do so, and
b) It would happen for a better/more ongoing/heartfelt reason than 11 overpaid lager-louts mincing round a pitch.

Just my 2€ ;)

I'll agree with the fact of not wanting to be seen as sympathetic to the f**tball mob, that's my worst fear
Sadly as we all know, our flag has essentially been hi-jacked by the nastier elelements like the NF & BNP

If the drivers were really patriotic, then it would by flying all the time (mine is, and on my avatar!), not just when the footy season was in full swing.
This country needs to be more patriotic.

At the Jubilee (2003?) I had a Union Jack flying from my TV aerial pole (some 25-30ft high).  After the street party I left it there, as I was (and am) proud to see it.  After a month I received a letter from the local council requesting that I take it down as it was causing distress for a few members of the local community.  :shock:

It stayed put.  Another month went by, and I received another letter, this time more demanding.  I left it there.  After 3 months I actually had a visit, which ended abruptly with a few harsh words, but the conclusion was if I don't take it down, I could face court action!

Until the weather took it that winter, it stayed put.  I need another (better quality) one to put back up, it's been down for too long!  :twisted:

Horness

i would be more patriotic if the government weren't trying hard to destroy england as it was and just make it into little europe. :evil:

We need a "high five" emoticon.  It's become the mongrel of Europe.

Being Patriotic cannot do any harm.

I am in Norway at the momnet and the Norwegian flag is all over the place. I certainly don't take offence, I thing that's good to see.
