Question Have you noticed that ...
The most St George flags shown on vehicles, in support of the England team's entry to the World Cup, appear to be on German cars/people carriers?

Why is that ????????????

In her infinite wisdom, my mum bought me a flag for the back of my bike...

I may put it on and take a picture for a giggle....

National pride - go for it - too much suppression of individual views is stiffling this nation.

That's the problem with this country, we're too busy trying not to upset the minority, except the minority aren't quite the minority these days. Funny how such a small Island with the biggest history around the world has to feel ashamed of flying the flag. Maybe we should bend over and let the rest of the world bleed us dry! Oh no we're already doing that, ah sod then lets watch football while the government let peedo's and murders roam the streets without a BRITISH PASSPORT!!!!!!!!
