Its more than likely it makes certain groups (minorities) feel nervous/oppressed/persecuted etc etc.

I really don't believe for 1 second that any minority during the World Cup feels nervous - complete BS.
If I can be bothered I'll drive up to Normacot which is a Muslim area and take pictures of England flags lining the streets put up by the minorities themselves.

I never said the World Cup made anyone nervous :confused:

As for the flags/shirts etc.... If you were to ask 100 people who they thought would be upset about a mass flooding of nationalism, my money would be on most people saying minorities/immigrants....

Again, does this make it right ?? Nope, but its the most probable answer.

EXACTLY.
Once again (and I'm not saying you said it) I would like to see these minorities who are so bothered about the English flag flying during the World Cup.
I don't believe there are any and it's all the figment of white peoples minds.

It's all blown up stupidly and a sign of the times we're in. The Daily Mail and the other rags won't resist the opportunity to have a dig at minorities in a 'blame anyone but ourselves' attitude. Same thing's happened here as e.g. the Winterval rubbish that Birmingham City council did for small businesses years ago.
