Lots of people did last time, as the Euro tournament we were in, was only 24 months after the World Cup.
Rather an odd position for me, being the least jingoistic person I know, defending people's right to display the national flags, but I honestly don't believe today, or for the past fifteen years or so, that there is any connotation between the Union, and English flags, and extremist politics.
You really can't judge by appearance.
As stated, the most disgusting racist I ever came into contact locally, I never saw with any British flag.
