Strangely enough letsavit, the only other flag I saw locally was on a local Asian owned grocer's shop. Seems his son is a captain in the army. There are nutters on both sides for sure. We must ensure we don't tolerate either side. I've worked in the Middle East, Scotland and London. The most "race aware" was in London. Perhaps the pressures, and the marked division of wealth, are greater there. Well said. There was a picture I saw recently from a sanctuary housing resident in Devon. He had a warning from the housing association for flying the flag on St George's day. What really miffs me is the ghettoisation of peeps that has caused the hate,mistrust within society. There are area in cities which are virtually no go zones now and that is a sad thing. I was raised in a multicultural family my stepsister is Pakistani and she has noticed as well that in certain areas of London she gets a frightening amount of racial abuse often from other ethnic groups simply because she dresses as a western woman would. Integration not seperation is the only way forward for a peacefull and happy society but it has to come from both parties. There is nothing wrong with being proud to your heritage and homeland Though I often dispare at what England has turned into under the rule of the 1%

Yep, you walk around Whitechapel as a white man holding your Asian girlfriends hand, I know where the reactions will come from.

Unfortunately the flag remind me to much of how we send a couple of dozen overpaid footballs on a all expense paid holiday every 4 years only for them to dash our expectations. There is nothing wrong with being proud of you country and I have never felt that people would brand me a racist like the pic in the OP suggests. I think the English identity thing is just the we are the majority in the UK and nothing more. Remember this? Is that rule normal or aroused.... ? Asking for a friend, you know....
