The racists have been emboldened and sanctioned by our government’s own rhetoric – to now talk vaguely in terms of resistance is far too little, much too late.
I don't massively disagree. There are definitely far right elements pushing this.
But the flag issue is a diversion and a trap. Telling English people they are wrong to raise an English flag will only backfire by confirming the propaganda of Farage etc.
The flag was English before it was far right. Let's ignore the flags but engage with the rhetoric and debunk it.
We desperately need some unity, not further division.
