get it? I merely stated that that was not the case, as I had not waded in on the RB thread, thereby disproving to a certain degree your statement. |

Bollocks...it's all in ya head. I am not the one that likes to bash Canada, dislike remembrance day et al
Remembrance Day, Christmas, Flags or other festivities or symbols are down to individuals as to how they want to view them. Tangram can come on here an post what ever he/she likes just like you can and have a completely clear conscience. |

I think it's at the foremost in my head and others that you seem to think your opinion is some sort of gospel and that everyone is entitled to it.

I don't disagree with your 2nd paragraph there, just like I can post whatever I want as long at it doesn't forum rules. |

So if we both agree on that, what is the problem then?

The problem is you are in agreement that you can post whatever but seem to have a problem with Tangram doing the same ;)
Let's shake hands on our agreement and move on. Like someone on here said yesterday "Life is too short" |

Sure, one can argue that the flag isn't necessarily offensive, just as the swastika is an ancient good luck symbol, but flying it outside an ordinary house is a finger raised either to Catholics or to the enemies of the NF, depending on location within the UK. Flying such a flag is offensive to some and achieves nothing, there's need for such rudery. The local equivalent would be the Confederate flag, something one sees more than often enough.
lots of flag waving at national / royal events not assoc with NF or even EDL now, but of a temp / celebratory nature. I will be honest though and still assoc. the UJ or st george flags with the context + location where I see it. NF scarred, perhaps. |

I've been flying the Japanese flag upside down for years!

Re: Flag Etiquette in Canada
To the OP why would you fly the Canadian flag unless you are Canadian??..i fly the Union Jack and the George Cross on Canada day just to piss of my neighbours..other than that i dont understand the whole flag waving thing in Canada must be an inferiorty complex or something?

Have you done your acquired Canadian citizenship yet? |
Re: Flag Etiquette in Canada
there's generally loads more flags flying in Canada than in the UK. at times i find it a bit in-your-face though. having said that i do want to fly a george cross from my place, me being a proud englishman and whatnot. it truly is a gorgeous flag, especially when flying from some twee little village church!
