  1. I’m not against it tbh (as a leftist). We can’t let bigots control the national narrative around Englishness and patriotism.

  2. As a patriot I feel national pride is at a all time low 😩 you cannot do anything patriotic without being seen as a racist by dickhead lefty’s

  3. Why not make this day a Bank holiday then 🙄 speaks from his arse

  4. I love and am extremely grateful for being English, so I’m honestly not sure when or quite why I started assuming (perhaps often totally wrongly) that anyone flying an England flag outside their house is a racist piece of shit

  5. Starmer desperately pandering to popularism this week it would seem

  6. The colour of the cross on our England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 team shirts was changed

    He didn’t address that, did he?

  7. Happy St. George’s Day to all Englishmen.

    This is the day when you should be proud of your country the most!

  8. As a flag waving lefty, I see his point. The English flag has been co opted by racists and those that feel that cos they fell out of the cunt on this land and have a certain level of melanin that they are better than anyone else

  9. Who’s taken it? We were told we weren’t allowed to hang it up by you and your cronies. We tried to reclaim it and you called us out on it.

  10. I’m a patriot but don’t really know what I would do with a physical flag. I would be down with an England flag used on more things around this time though.

    Also, we should all eat a Full English today as a tradition. Like pancake day but for us. Get the nice bacon and sausages in too to make it special

  11. Frankly this is like a vegan trying to sell beef after 100 years of decrying it as the spawn of satan. Its like Brown’s British jobs for British workers bullshit. A cheap meaningless stunt.

  12. Every year it’s the same false narrative about the “far right” taking ownership of the English flag. The British flag was used by the BNP, National Front, Britain First and pretty much every violent, racist nationalist group. Racist Scottish and Welsh nationalists use the Scottish and Welsh flag. Irish terrorists and their sympathisers use the Irish flag. Nobody is ever told to reclaim the British, Scottish, Welsh or Irish flags from violent, racist and murderous groups that drape themselves in them. I’m fed up of being targeted by British nationalists on my country’s national day every year in a way that no other nationality is. You know what that is? Racism. Keir Starmer and the whole British nationalist establishment are racists.

  13. Tanking to reform so suddenly wants to appear Patriotic…… This man REALLY dosnt know ow how to read a predominantly working class room

  14. I was disappointed to see so few people wearing a rose today. Something I always do for St George’s day.

  15. I loathe the narrative the far-right stole the flag as if everyone else was using it and the far-right stopped them. It became associated with the far-right because everyone else had dumped it in a skip and weren’t using it anyway. Take responsibility.

    I’ve got a BMX in the garage I haven’t ridden in 20 years. If some kid spots it and wants to ride it, they can have it, I’m not going to make speeches about reclaiming it.

  16. Proud to be English but Starmer is a twat for this pandering

  17. Politicians don’t need to set the cultural agenda like this. People are allowed to fly flags. Do they need Starmer to cradle their balls as they do so.

  18. Until he starts sending people who do not belong here, both legal and illegal, home, everything this man says is hollow.

  19. Lawyer kier saying what he thinks people want to hear instead of his actually opinions
