Okay, and? Racists breathe (unfortunately) should we stop breathing also? There are plenty of people who identify as Christian but are hateful bigots, does that mean I shouldn’t be a Christian? If you started flying the Union Jack and St George’s cross more, the racists would find something else if this was the case.
What a dumb argument re: breathing. As before context. Their breathing isn’t specifically being used to target people even if it results in people being targeted. If everyone started flying flags all the time (which is frankly bizarre, there’s no historical precedent for this and frankly people who go all out over a flag in England have always been seen as a bit weird) the racists would see it as vindication and support.

Frequently like on special occasions? That’s normal enough. I’m from a regular year round flag flying region. I can assure you it does not aid in cross community cohesion.

On VE day? That would most certainly come under special occasions, no? We’re talking about day to day hanging of flags in the street.
Happens where I live quite frequently. Going back even to when my parents were younger.

Flax is from Northern Ireland, I don’t know why they feel it’s so important for England to adopt their toxic flag culture.
I am too, they should be well aware of the territorial nature of flags in these here parts.
