We have ALWAYS raised flags up in that location and sung songs about England there. Now suddenly some foreigners come and stand there to get offended. We sing and wave our flags there all the time regardless if there are Palestinians there or not.

How dare they remind Palestine supporters what country they live in.

Give it some time and the St George’s flag will soon become illegal.

Clearly those English flag waivers are just trying to wind up the Palestine marchers or whatever they are.

But, all they're doing is waiving the flag of the country they're in. Why are the Palestine marchers getting so wound up by it? Why are brainwashed people like Robb calling all England flag waivers racist?

Pretty sure one of the yobs shout F Palestine

I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever seen a non racist person hold up a St George’s flag.

Why would an England flag trigger the free Palestine protesters?

Little racist englanders. They certainly don't represent me.

What was going on there though? What were the ones with the England flag hoping to achieve?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Imagine saying that about any other group but White English men.

Tbf they look like thugs, not sure why they were at the protest in the first place.

But they didn't start the violence, the protestors did.

Poor lad in the high vis jacket was trying to calm things down and got one in the face for it.

These are the type of people that say "they are taking my freedoms away and destroying our culture".

Had a nice little 'debate' with one not so long ago. Here's what I said.

Can you still go to school / college / uni? Yes.
Can you find work? Yes
Can you go the countryside to take in the scenery? Yes.
Pub? Yes
Football or Rugby? Yes
Concerts and theatre? Yes
Out for a nice meal? Yes.

What freedoms have we lost exactly? What part of our culture that is steeped in sport, music, the arts, trips to the beach and countryside and casual drinking with mates at the weekend have we lost exactly? We haven't lost any of it. It's all still there and ready available.

He went quiet and shut up.

Why are the English people there waving the flag though?
Are they doing it to intentionally wind people up?

I'm not defending either side to be honest, just curious.

What the HELL are English people doing in England, supporting the English football team.

Racist? For having an England flag, in England, ahead of an England game?

This was an excellent and short demonstration of the Battle of Rorke's Drift.

Bravo!

As I have previously stated, those English fans always stand there and sing those songs on that spot whilst holding their flags. It's not their fault the Palestines decided to stand directly in front of them

I used to go to a lot of England games, this is a reminder of why I stopped.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This really isn't a reflection of the English people I know though. It's a shame they give the vast majority of English people a bad name.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

They were waving a a flag and chanting English football chants, in the build.upto.an England game.

BUT whatever you do, do NOT try and support England when a free Palestine protest is about.

You'd have to be very naive to think that they weren't there to cause trouble.

In all seriousness, those England fans are doing nothing wrong, and should not have been engaged by the other group.

The fact so many on here see the England fans as the guilty party is a real worry.

Good to know that I can go up to some remembrance Sunday ceremonies and hold up my Scotland flag and start singing Scotland football chants during their little get together and RDD would be fine with it.

Or is RDD saying we are not allowed to sing football songs about our own country in our own country, whilst flying flags of our own country?
