However the love for England, the English and Englishness as a whole is just as strong.

"A symbol of something darker"

That's what they think of the English flag, Cherie.

It's just your paranoia Kizzy.

No I think you are ... You are putting too much emphasis on the flag... it's not England, it's not the people or the places it doesn't even stand for anything.

This I why I feel more strongly about the memoral. It actually has some history and meaning. I can connect to it more than a flag.

I never once brought a flag up in this thread until someone else did. This thread has nothing to do with a flag.
