I have experience of this - awful though it may be.

There was one house that has a flag flying all the time, I was heading towards the door and was told by someone that I was with that I wouldn't get a very good response. I naively knocked anyway, I got told to p*ss off and that they wouldn't be voting because there weren't any BNP candidates standing.

I went a few houses down the road where a flag was also flying to be greeted by BNP signs in the window.

I did not say that anyone who flew a flag was a right wing facist. I said that the general perception in the country at the moment is that the flag has been hijacked by the BNP. It is wrong, it should not be allowed I don't like it but just because I don't approve of something doesn't make it any less true.

I love this country as much as the next person and I would love to see the flag flying more often for the right reasons. If you see a flag flying outside someones house tonight, why don't you knock on their door and do a straw poll - find out for yourself.
