All the fucking ENGERLUND stuff everywhere
Why do they put flags in their windows? What is the purpose? To show their support of the England football team? Who fucking cares? Is a footballer going to walk past a shitty maisonette in Buckland and think "Wow, they really want us to win! I'm going to football my absolute hardest this summer!"
ok, rant over.

There's nothing wrong with liking watching football, obviously
But these people need to get a grip. It's only a bloody game.

I saw some photos on the BBC. Every single one of them
was some dive pub or grotty house in some povvo estate. This flag waving form of patriotism is the behaviour of the lower orders. Vulgar and unseemly. Good job all those car flags aren't on beaten up old Vauxhalls, then!

Patriotism is quite silly, whatever order you belong to.

Absolutely.
You don't see red and white hanging off the houses of more genteel types, is me point.

afaik it's illegal to fly a flag unless on a pole
so those hanging them in windows should be arrested.

All the commoners in my office have England bunting all up around their area.

Our office is well up for it
Each department has been assigned a World Cup team. They are encouraged to festoon their work area with colours, flags, bunting, pictures etc from their adopted country.

Thank fuck I work from home.

It isn't, but fucking hell, who knew we wasted money on flag protocol?

Fucking should be though
One of the most depressing places I've ever seen on holiday was driving past Santa Suzannah in Spain, basically someone took an empty stretch of beach and dumped a load of concrete monstrosity hotels on it, then populated them with fat cunts with neck tattoos. Nearly every balcony had a flag (mostly football related) hanging off it. Can't imagine anywhere worse to holiday.

I remember when 'they' recommended that people shouldn't really drive with those little flags on (not law, just recommended)
and all the twats came out saying "LAST TIME I CHECKED THIS WAS ENGERLUND AND WE COULD FLY OUR FLAGS AND NOW IT'S OFFENDING MUSLIMS"
No, you cretin. They want you to be careful in case your flag obcures your eyeline, or sits in your blind spot. Road safety, knob head.

Or comes adrift, hitting another car on the windscreen causing panic swerving, a sixteen car pileup
on the M6 and an ensuing tragic headline.

You bunch of fucking slack jawed Neanderthal cunts.

Yes!
Hell in a hand basket, I'm telling you.
