I should have included a 2000s sitcom gif to get my point across

But I still don't get it

Starmer says that national flags should not be altered or messed with. The Labour membership card has a flag that's been messed with.

It's just a football shirt ffs, I really don't understand why anyone actually gives a gooseberry fool.

You're not a flag shagger asshole so like any normal person you don't care.

Let me guess, you're one of those wokies who thinks sacred icons like are flag as a little emblem on the back of a sports shirt that changes its design every year aren't important, but then get upset by things like child poverty, or systemic oppression of minority groups?

[Moggy]

Look at those strawberry floating traitors! How dare they defile the sacred Union Flag for our glorious London Olympics. Woke bastards.

The bottom left one is a football kit too

It's entirely normal to have an interest in the shirt your team wears. It's not normal to get this upset about it.

Um actually I think you'll find that particular gif is from the 1997 series.

Fair play, bet he's delighted about the Daily Mail writing a whole article on his collar being up to hide the symbol

That was the infamous Blackburn shirt that had a call for Jihad against Western imperialism printed on the collar. Also the sponsor peeled off in the wash.

Sorry but this is clearly just a screenshot from Pro Evolution Soccer 6.

Yesterday figures were published suggesting 18% of the population are in absolute poverty, including 3.6 million children, and our three main national parties are focusing on actual nonsense.

We're really, completely strawberry floated as a country aren't we?

So typical of the left (Nike) to deface the flag. Wouldn't catch the right doing that.

That’s not a right wing flag. It’s a charity symbol and has no political affiliation.

You’re thinking of the American blue line flag. Which was adopted by American far right organisations as a solidarity symbol with their police.

It's only called racist when it's flying from a copper, when it's on a website it's called a charity symbol.

Glibness aside, the point Knoy was making is that this charity (alongside so many other organisations - see posts above!) have done exactly the same thing as Nike, but because the current England team are a symbol of everything the right wing hate it's now a problem.

Well no, he said the right had defaced it. But they didn’t. The right may be happy with it but they didn’t make it.

Me personally I don’t care what Nike have done with the flag. I think the colours look nice.
