  1. Every country in the world flies its flag with pride. Nationalism and patriotism ARE THE SAME THING. Being proud of your country and feeling part of it is what people do. If England cannot be ‘nationalistic’ then neither should Scotland, Wales, Ireland or anyone else.

  2. Please explain where else in the world that flying the national flag of that country is considered offensive - all countries have not very nice and welcoming people in them what’s that got to do with the flag itself? If you love England you should be proud of our flag. If you don’t - WHY ARE YOU HERE?

  3. I get a bit sick of this thing about St George being Turkish. Several other countries have him as a patron saint too. So what? But do you know why? Because patron saints are a Christian concept - as Christianity spread these symbolic figures were adopted. Over time they become uniquely part of the local culture. For example, Father Christmas is a familiar figure in Britain and elsewhere - does it really matter that he was originally a Scandinavian legend called Sinte Klaas? No. This symbol has taken on a life of its own within our culture and that’s ok.
