They also hi-jacked the union jack, doesn't mean i'll stop using the flag as my desktop wallpaper or my awesome union jack sliver cufflinks
Actually they hi-jacked the George cross But again, not that that means you should stop displaying the george cross or union jack, as I think most people, apart from the herp-derp I'm a robot denziens of GD, can tell the difference in context between a skin head waving a george cross and you having union jack cufflinks...
Some people has allowed it to be hi-jacked, a good example is emily thornberry and her misguided tweet about some who had hanged the england flag out there window. In her tiny left-wing brain, england flag = Jack-booted racist. As with her and diane abbott if you're a white male then you need to be wracked with white guilt and give way to every minority without question. Those kind of people need to be made an example of and told they are completely wrong in there world view
But who gives a toss what a couple of idiots with extreme views say, they are no more reflective of the general left wing view point than a skinhead is of the general right wing view.
There is no hand wringing, self loathing of the west from us, the general citizens. We can criticise aspects of it without being a hater and praise others without being a nationalist sycophant.
