Willy waving flags of any nationality is for Nationalistic fanatics. I am just glad to be a member of planet earth. I don`t need to keep waving a flag on certain days of the year, to make out like I am better than any other human being.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I would say that's a pretty bad take on patriotism as a whole. I've never seen it as a problem for people all over the world to celebrate their own country and join in celebrating other people's culture identity. etc. I actually think it's quite healthy. It's natural for humans to have a sense of familiarity and connection to the place they are born. You can love your own country and you can love other country's too. No issue with that at all.

Happy St. Georges Day
----------------------------------------------------------------------



Couldn’t agree more. I personally don’t celebrate it and wave flags around myself, but I have absolutely no issue whatsoever with people being people of their country. Everyone celebrates St Paddy’s day and the Irish are proud. Americans have their flags plastered all over the streets in the US, they are proud. Why is it so frowned upon when English people are proud? I can only guess it’s the far left liberal lunatics that are the only ones who can’t stand it and despise the country they are from.

—————————

Yes I’m the same. You can’t eat a flag. That said a lot of people forget what the Ireland flag represents.

The orange represents Unionism.
The green represents Republicanism.
The white signifies peace.

That's because we are great

No issue with that. Be proud of where you are from. But, I don’t see no difference between you celebrating St Paddy’s and English celebrating St. George’s, yet the far left always frown upon English people celebrating this day. It’s absolutely pathetic.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
100% agree Don absolutely nothing wrong with being proud of where you are from.
Patriotism is fine and having a sense of pride about your roots is nothing to be ashamed of.

I do think it is a bit strange the way certain elements of English people frown upon it. They need to be more laid back like us

I'm like you Don, I've never got the flags out. That's just a personal choice. I certainly wouldn't knock people for doing it.

Don't let scuumbag politicians use racist scuumbag hooligans to ruin it for other people. I try to have a more positive then negative outlook on life, but to me that's just common sense.

Totally agree mate. I’m proud of being from this country. Being from this country has given me the opportunity to have achieved what I have wanted in life at a young age and this country offers those opportunities. At the same time, I’m also proud of my Turkish Cypriot and Jewish heritage. I think the whole attitude of if you are British and wave a flag, it automatically means you are some far right racist loon bag is only something the far left seem to have conjured up. Only one look at this article and you got well known left wingers criticising people for celebrating today.

I remember the world cup in Italy in 1990 mate. I turned 16 that year. It was the first time we (ROI) ever qualified and we made the quarter finals.

I have never seen an outpouring of national pride etc at the teams achievements. The whole country was united. How on earth is that a bad thing?

I'm not left or right. I don't pin my political colours to any mast. It's easy for me to call out the BS on both sides.

I've never got flags out apart from during international football tournaments, and even then it would just be those little ones you attach to the car. Nothing wrong with showing a little bit of national pride.

Shame there’s f*ck all to be proud of these days. The last half decent thing this country did was the 2012 Olympics.
