Despite this being an obvious troll, I'm going to comment anyway.

If immigrants are against the Union flag, surely that undermines their
claimed desire to be British. IMO you assimilate, or you leave!



It's not as black and white as that.

There should be a good amount of willingness to accept the customs and way
of life of the country you move to , but equally there's no necessity to
abandon everything relating to where you lived before.

Ditching the blacks is a far better idea.



Now THAT's a better piece of trolling, although not by much.

You're aware of the difference between the Union Jack and the Union flag?
I'm sure someone will point it out.

Trolling score = 1.5/10. Must try harder.


Idiot factor 9.5/10 - see me.





Well, don't be modest, I give you 10/10 for the idiot factor.

Flying the Union Jack or indeed the Union Flag is basically saying either "I
support Nick Griffin", "I support Ian Paisley", or "I'm Gordon Brown".
Everyone else flies the Scottish, English or Welsh flags, or the Irish
tricolour.


Round here the flag of choice for Nick Griffin supporters is the
English flag. Don't think I've ever seen a Union Flag being flown in
that context.


A bit like the Labour scum stealing England's red rose symbol.

I agree. It's more red and white on a field of blue...........

Wouldn't that last bit be a lot like colonization?
