  1. Even the way she is saying makes it very clear that this is a way to try and appeal to those who actually care about this country and its history. This woman is all for a St. George’s Cross being fully removed from football kits. What a liar.

  2. One wonders whether the kit designers would have given the St Andrew cross of Scotland, or the St David cross of Wales, the same multi-hued makeover…

  3. Disgrace …..dont buy the shirts untill they have corrected the flag …..shame on the monkeys at the FA for singning this off.
    Dont they look around the stadiums to see what the flag should look like …..surrounded by weak incompetence people !!

  4. Well I guess a Labour government won't be doing any serious politics either. I'm so fed up of politicians not focusing on the things that actually matter to people's lives.

  5. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿St george's cross is for everyone english! black, white, brown, who cares, be proud of our red and white flag that stands for freedom of speech, freedom to protest, freedom of expression and english common law. Leave our flag alone and just be proud of who we are. everyone knows nike decided to try and be provocative by changing the flag but try doing that to the welsh, scottish or irish flag, im sure if those countries complained about it they wouldnt get the accusations the english fans are getting aimed at them for wanting their flag represented but no, we are all racist and homophobic for wanting to keep the flag red and white 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

  6. Why is this snob commenting on the England shirt debate? She made her views known years ago, laughing at a white van man and his St George flags
