Firstly I am not part of any right movement and do not hold any right beliefs.
The flag of St George is what distinguishes us from the rest of the Union and should remain untouched in its current form, it holds so much for so many people. Do you think the Scots would be happy if their flag was put on their shirts with a pink and red cross or the Welsh dragon was violet, no they wouldn’t they would be up in arms, and I wouldn’t call the Scots or the Welsh part of the right.Honestly, I don't ever remember seeing a flag of St. George when I lived in Britain - never. Seeing it flying now is a modern thing, although I have no problem with it. As others have said, the Welsh and Scottish proudly fly their flags - and more and more flags of St. Piran fly in Cornwall.
What's the big whoop about designing a motif using different colours? I interpreted it as a statement that Britain is proudly multicultural, which is a positive thing.

The commentator at the BBC website is being way too polite: England were dreadful. He writes that England are slated to play France in the Euros semifinals. Play like that, and making it that far might be wishful thinking. Why is Maguire still playing? Why was an 18-year-old nobody from United playing ahead of better players? Southgate sticks to the wrong favorites and is bowing to pressure to use players from the big six teams. If I was an England supporter, I'd be rather depressed right now.

If we have pleaded guilty and get the two brownie points back that Forest received, and the commission find we have already been punished for the first charge and there's no case to answer for the second, do we still get the two brownie points back? So +2?
Two judges find themselves in traffic court for speeding. The first judge takes to the bench and the second judge is brought in to face the music. "You were traveling at 55mph in a 35mph zone. That's a £200 fine and 3 penalty points." Next, the second judge takes to the bench and the first judge appears before him. "You were traveling at 50mph in a 40mph zone. That's a £500 fine and 6 penalty points." The first judge objects: "But I gave you a smaller fine and applied fewer penalty points despite yours being a worse case of speeding." The second judge explains his reasoning: "But this is the second case of speeding brought before this court today. It's time to stamp it out!"
We are not going to face a smaller points penalty. If I had to guess, it will be another 6 points, at which point all hell breaks loose.

I don't understand why there's such a vocal body of people who seem desperate for renewable energy schemes to fail. You see it in some people's comments to that article, but it's become something of an obsession among conservatives in the US. Why would we not want to pursue such options? Why would we not want to reduce smog, limit the rise of sea level, prevent extreme weather patterns, and generally be good stewards of the earth?

Yes, because you raised it.

Just getting in here before everyone screams about his brace and how we shouldn't have let him go. His first goal was a real stinker, his second a tap-in header from 3 yards out.
He missed an absolute sitter in the first half.
They all count, and he's scored ten goals in his last eight appearances.

Yeah, we argue less when we talk about pizza.
The other give-away to the British abroad is squashing peas on the back of the fork instead of just scooping them up on the front of the fork. Where do such national habits originate?
Another is holding a knife in the right hand for an entire meal that just requires a fork. Why not do what the rest of the world does and hold the fork in the right hand? Or am I being unfair to sinistrals?

so are you counting the FA cup draw (against Palace) but not the FA cup win against them in your 12 games? or including EFL cup?
otherwise ifs just league games then it's 11 games and not 12 since last win againt Burnley just less that 3months ago.
just numbers (months and number of league games) you are saying originally are both incorrect.
the numbers are bad enough without need to over embellishing.
Are you denying we haven’t won in 53 games and 18 months?
Palfy: raise you 10 games and 2 months.

That's such a stereotypical picture of the English abroad: black socks with shorts.
You can tell the English holidaying in America by that dressing habit alone - along with eating pizza with a knife and fork. All that's missing is the knotted hankie on his head.

He and Onana go and we've got £150m to pay off 777s initial "investment". It's going to happen.
Onana, even though he's young, I agree. In general, though, we should be focused on the future as we strike deals. I'd sell Pickford (and replace with Trafford) before I sold Branthwaite.
You'd think that 777 would want to build on their asset, not tear it down. Having said that, I'm really hoping the rumours about a stealth takeover bid are true.

They can take a running jump. Onana, we can sell. Some others, we can sell. But not Branthwaite.

Trump is already undermining the US administration. The Hungarian premier met with him and not with the US' actual president. The result was the imply they will force Ukraine to surrender and succumb to Russia's invasion with 24 hours of Trump assuming power. Let's all hope that never happens.
If Russia is allowed to win this war, Moldova will be invaded within 6 months. If Trump pulls the US out of NATO, the Baltic states should then become very worried. Finland would also be at risk.

Dunlopp and Palfy eked out a win in Round 27 to start the month of March. Boston Toffee failed to make a prediction and has dropped below the Wisdom of Crowds for the season. Ironically, not predicting allowed him to extend his lead per prediction.

For the Brighton game, no-one (understandably) predicted that Branthwaite would score our only goal. Congrats to Formby, though, for predicting a 1-1 draw. Palfy came out tops for the month of February. Boston Toffee retains his lead for the season and per prediction (although tied, in both cases, to the Wisdom of Crowds.

Marjorie Taylor Greene represents the district in Georgia where I live, and she's a complete disgrace. I'm so embarrassed that residents in this area vote for her overwhelmingly time and again. Her campaign literature is dark, sinister, and paints the US as now being a communist dictatorship, and people believe this nonsense.

Did I write that it's not acceptable for the English to be proud of their own flag? No, I didn't. In fact, I compared it to the Scottish and the Welsh doing the came, just as you wrote. We're saying the same thing.
