When it's in the claw of some xenophobic, Burberry-clad neanderthal, then it's abhorrent.

Not really, i know what i need to know. Good and bad, past and present. You chose to bring out the bad that the flag can be associated with but forgot to mention the good.
And to tarnish people who show pride in there country as burberry clad chavs is just pathetic. I am neither a chav, a thug, a racist... but i would wear a flag around my chest regardless of what people think or thought.
You mentioned the word xenophobic aswell, now forgive me if im wrong but that means somebody who is afraid of foreigners. Surely you can't think of that towards every person that waves the flag.
