These flag nonces up in arms about St George, and a bit of red and white cloth.
The fella was a Turk. Your flag hero wasn’t even English, you thick twats.

I’ve tried looking around but I just cannot understand why some people are calling the new England kit “woke”. It’s… not a rainbow? Are all colours woke now?

Yes the flag thing is weird but the real scandal is the FA letting Nike rip people off to the tune of £85 in the middle of a cost of living crisis. They bang on about football being for everybody and then ask them to cough up £85 for the national shirt.

Rishi Sunak is clear that we shouldn’t “mess with our national flags” because “they’re perfect as they are”
He might need to delete a few tweets, including this one where the Union flag includes tyre tracks and a battery instead of the red saltire of St Patrick: https://t.co/41udCUediU pic.twitter.com/t3VZC9XW9c— Larry the Cat (@Number10cat) March 22, 2024

Taxi driver’s got talk radio on; of course they’re on about this Nike England shirt. Caller says ‘it should be pronounced Ni-key, after the goddess of victory.’ The presenter counters: ‘but I don’t ride a BIKEY, I ride a bike.’ Cracking level of debate this.
