Title: David Cameron to fly St Georges Flag Over 10 Downing Street
Post by: STFC_Gazza on Wednesday, June 9, 2010, 17:43:52
Cameron to fly flag of St George over 10 Downing Street! Finally a bit of common sense really, Fuck the PC brigade, fly the flag and be proud!

"For the purposes of this, I am looking at all the benches here and I am sure that everyone in this House, no matter what part of the United Kingdom they come from, will be cheering 'come on England'"

The Scottish Nats are going to love that.  Dull & predictable...but they will.

I can say for certain that most of scotland and wales and parts of northern ireland will not be cheering for England.

Cheap win for cameron, but I like it none the less.

Cameron will be eating swan and whipping peasants whilst his fag toasts his crumpets and fellates him as he usually does on a saturday night.  He has no interest in football and any attempt to suggest otherwise is mere affectations.  Fact.  And End of.

A lot of Welsh people do support England in the world cup. It depends on the part of Wales but in South East Wales I'd say the majority do, though a lot of them are originally from England anyway. Personally I always hope to see Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all qualify.

Fuck the Scots, Welsh and Norn Iron-ish. Why shouldn't he be patriotic?

Its a sad state of affairs that something like this is news, it should be a routine event that doesnt draw any attention.

I bet Cameron calls it 'soccer' anyway.  I remember reading that one of his (Camerons) chums at either Oxford or Eton was Firoz Kassam who got mixed up with some non-league outfit a few years back when he built then a absolutely super 3 sided stadium then tied them into a long term agreement with financial penalties so that they couldn't walk away.  I believe he also gets to keep the catering receipts.

Seems they're still exploiting the lumpen proletariat.

That's what makes me laugh. They act all anti-English then when the WC arrives they are suddenly England fans.

Which is why they're insignificant as countries (well a principality in Wales' case) and rely on English money to get by

How is it common sense? It's a token gesture - a bigger statement would be to fly the flag 365 days a year, surely? As we know, in England patriotism is only just tolerable during a summer football tournament involving England!

Meant to say:

I'll be flying it from Bangkok.

As in I'll be flying the flag, not myself.  Whatever, innit.

Well at least it'll be handy for him when he needs to wrap himself in it to grab some votes come the next election.

 I'd hardly say Scotland is an insignificant country. Here's a quote from Churchill:

" Of all the small nations of this earth, perhaps only the ancient Greeks surpass the Scots in their contribution to mankind. "
