    In England we only really put them up for football and racism.

              Then there’s the thin blue line flag, not to mention the regular flag, and more and more these the straight up nazi flag.

                Don’t forget the Confederate rag. Especially in Kansas and Ohio and Wisconsin.

        If you see a truck in Canada with our flag on it, high probability it’s also got an ‘F Trudeau’ sticker and an asshole driver.

          Signs of overcompensating for a small dick IMHO. I’ve never seen a woman driving a vehicle with either a flag or FucK Trudeau on it

            Lol, yup generally true. Though I’ll say I’ve seen one or two driven by women out west here.

            I saw a lady driving a big red Dodge Ram the other day covered in you know which stickers and there were 5 full sized flags on the truck bed.

            As I saw it in the distance I said to my gf “oh, check it out, pp compensation truck ahead” and was shocked to see a woman driving.

              She wants to have one badly, so the overcompensating is running full speed.

        The EDL often used the England St George Cross flag. The National Front used the British Union Jack flag.

        I think the only other time you see our flags apart from sport, is for royal family related days off work, which about all they’re good for.

        Not OP, but British, seems you only really see them on house for football as previously stated and on the houses of people that tend to be ignorant and/or racist so they fly the Union Jack St George Cross Flag as a means to be patriotic to this shit hole.

        Edit: Put the wrong flag, as evidently I’m a moron today.

          Worse if it’s the St George Cross imo. I’ve never understood the “away with immigrants” argument from a nation of immigrants. Do they think life evolved in the UK?

            That’s the flag I meant. I’m just a moron today apparently.

            They’ve just been conditioned to target their frustrations at the wrong people by the media they consume.

        Being proud of the UK is racist because it’s mostly white.
