Kicking off in Leicester

[Deleted member 77198]

Very well put , in our times of despair and outrage of our own , some can still see a country to be proud of without having to stand on the white cliffs waving the union flag. I’m proud to be British without going any where near the daily mail . Suppose it depends on where each of us thinks where we are as a nation in our own shite times.

But there was a time when waving the Union Flag was all part of that patriotism.

When I see a Union Jack, all that I mentioned plus much much more, is what I see it representing. It has nothing to do with politics, and as you say readers of the Daily Mail.

It was a symbol for mods


British Invasion


Britpop


Cool Britannia


Girl Power


etc. over the years.

Too many people are scared to show that now for some bizarre reason.

So it seems it had fuck all to do with cricket then, and was actually caused by someone lying about a woman being attacked to a community leader who then posted it on Twitter (after doing his due diligence, but being naive enough to believe that someone wouldn't lie about something like that).
