So by your Logic I'm some kind of Nationalist thug ??
All the Germans on their allotments are raging Nazis ?? as they & I fly our flags continually regardless of the season & occasion ! The Portuguese down the road & as to the Eyeties ? raging fascists ? All these peoples fly their flags throughout the year. To me it just means they are proud of their heritage although they live away from their Country of origin.
And I think you will find that to be the case with many folk in the UK, they fly their flag as a matter of pride, not to make any sort of Nationalist statement. But there lies the problem ! Because when people think in the same way as you appear to be doing any signs of national pride are construed as having Nationalistic, extremist connotations & should therefore be brought to book. What a sorry state for a Country to be in, words fail me.
