Thought that wasn’t allowed and their politicians claimed it racist?

1.) Imagine having experienced every excessive offering this country has too offer for over a month and face having to go back to that…in August?

2.) We aren’t crossing the Atlantic for the 3rd. time in essentially a century to save you this time…we’ve cut bait. We don’t owe you shite…and you know it.

Despite the poorly worded OP, this is a great question — I could swear that I’d seen reports that this flag is not allowed in the UK in areas because RACIST

Those reports are true. It's very easy to find vids of council estates taking them down. Word has it that countries who take pride in their history and people suddenly, for some completely unknown reason, feel less "welcoming" to invaders.

"Futbol" is (D)ifferent.

Want to see real revolt? Try telling the English, Scots, Irish and Welch they need to bring their footballing under one flag.

Because even the English know that St George deserves its own school district.

Dunno, but some of their fans dressing as the Knights Templar, in a foreign country watching soccer instead of defending their children from rape monkeys - is peak cuck.

It’s a fair question to ask if you are aware that there’s a legit movement in GB to not allow the flag of St. George be flown in public.

If you’re asserting that I don’t know why the flag was flown in the World Cup, you’d be incorrect.

St George's Cross is the pilar of the Union Jack and the Cross flag, in and of itself, is a traditional battle flag most notably of the Royal Navy

Yeah we know all this. Now, go watch what happens over there when folks try to fly it. Or when they try to fly the Union Jack.

"Less welcoming".....I heard several podcasts discussing this & the most common comment was that the government felt flying it in public would make some people feel "uncomfortable".

It's a battle flag whether you're fighting the Government over your right to self-determination, whether you're fighting illegals that are running amok in your country, or you're battling Argentina in the World Cup. The flag has significant historical meaning to the British, like our Betsy Ross 13 star flag, the Republic of Texas flag, and yes, the Confederate Stars and Bars has meaning in the US

I think Facebook and instagram might be better suited for OP’s attention neediness.
