      “I always think if I get captured by ISIS, I’m less likely to get my head chopped off with an Irish passport than a British one, which is my principal reason for getting one.”

      Good luck with that.

      I think he should consider whether saying these sorts of things helps or hinders his cause.

      The only time I’ve seen the English give a fuck about our flag is when we’re about to lose in the World Cup. Now all of a sudden it’s sacred and so much as saying you don’t care much about it is seen as a betrayal… when did we all become so American?

      I’m sure luvvy Coogan would love to accommodate some illegals in his mansion.

      The irony is that Steve would undoubtedly cheer on countries in the global south and across the world (even those with tyrannical pasts and presents) that celebrate their country’s flag and identity.

      His attitude fuels nativist sentiment, whether he realises it or not.

      I mean, Reform is explicitly anti human rights in their current form, and wants to withdraw from the ECHR. Doesn’t seem they’ve set out what their preferred set of human rights would be however.

      I don’t understand the hatred of the UK because of their ‚history‘ though. As far as World Empires go, ours has been one of the most accommodating. A lot of our former colonies have been ceded without bloody wars but via mutual agreement (I’m not counting any proceeding civil wars within those countries, which are not caused by us).

      Shame the flag has become so political lately, we should be celebrating all the good things the British have done.

      I find it weird when people try to hide from being British… it’s like they can’t handle dealing with the unpleasant parts of our history or any criticism aimed at us so have to get another passport and say ‚It’s nothing to do with me!‘

      The left still doesn’t understand why the common man is waving the flag. Radical progressivism has alienated the working class. Labour no longer represents the working class, and every other left-wing party holds them in contempt. Basically, they are politically homeless and gravitate towards Reform as one of the things they value the most is community. Communities are being eroded in poor areas where unvetted immigrants fail to assimilate, and people live in fear. It’s easy to call them ‚thick‘ and ‚flag shaggers‘ but there is always a reason for everything. The ones who treat them with disdain don’t face the same problems as them.

      Waving the flag is an act of defiance and rebellion more than anything. It’s the same reason we got Brexit. Alienate the working class, and you end up with a shit show.

      Anybody remember the national front in th 70s?

      Same racist rhetoric. Using the flag for division, not for unity.
