Catalonia referendum: Thousands rally for Spanish unity

[original PM]

I was around Madrid last Sunday on the day of the referendum vote and I was watching these 'Spanish Nationalist' supporters coming back from a rally in central Madrid and they seemed to be a good mix of youths with Spanish flag capes and well dressed, middle class couples and older respectfully dressed citizens (the types that stepped out of church on Sunday in Britain). Not the types that you would see at a nationalist rally on the streets of the U.K. There was no trouble and people did not seem guilty or worried, walking home, even alone with a Spanish flag or cape on their person. Try that with a Union Jack flag around a trendy left wing area of London (Primrose Hill) and see what you get..

That's because in England we have been told that flying the Union Jack and being white is racist.

Unless you are gay or muslim


Cannot wait for Labour to get in

Who cares if somebody tells you that? Stop being such a professional offence taking victim and lead your life how you want to. Have you ever tried flying the Union Flag or St George's Cross? If not, give it a go if that's your thing.

It's not PC that's keeping you down, it's your low IQ.

And there we have it - a man with a St Georges flag asking for less refugees to be allowed into the Uk is now seen as racist.

As opposed to expressing an opinion and being proud of being British.

Thank you so much for completely proving the point.

Where do you see a statement about him being racist ?

If it floats your boat go ahead and wave the flag.

Do you mean 'demonstrating' or 'testing' when you say 'proving'? Because to be fair to BB, the man with the flag probably is a racist. So you need to pull up BB on posting a picture of a probable racist with a flag as an example of flag-waving, rather than implying that the flag-waver in the picture is not a racist Your approach just makes you look like an idiot or a racist, probably both.

You would be better posting a photo like this to demonstrate a positive image of flag waving.
