can you explain the racism part of it to a non brit? like I'm five /stupid american pls

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 7 points 3 months ago

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?

[-] Baggins@feddit.uk 3 points 3 months ago

Yes - just like the American ones as well.

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.
