Does this mean we can all use England flags now in the same way the Scots do, without people thinking we‘re EDL?

What do you think?

I think it’s a bit like how the 2012 Olympics was meant to make everyone more sporty.

I meant about the question you posed.

I refer you to the reply I gave some moments ago.

I see; I didn't recognise the non sequitur as a response to the odd question you immediately posed about "...use England flags now in the same way the Scots do, without people thinking we‘re EDL?"

It was a rhetorical question, nothing has really changed has it? The Twitterati seem suddenly surprised that muslim people can be England supporters, that’s all.

You have to make sure it says ‘England’ across the centre of the flag. That’s the rule.

What has happened, as suggested by the thread title, is that the England squad and FA, have wrong-footed the bigoted culture warriors of the right and placed them on the wrong side of sporting history.

Purely so it's the right way up

You're a randian I hear so I fear whatever flag you display people won't draw the conclusions you want

Where did you hear that? Did you make it up in your little head after I suggested on the Javid thread that JP Morgan weren't going to take over the NHS?

Sorry for being cynical that this won't be a profound and lasting change.

Happy for folk to be as cynical as they choose, but if you can't find any joy in seeing the bigots' culture war blow up in their face..well.

It’s an improvement on previous predictions made in other years that England winning anything would unleash a tide of racism

Predictions from Guardian hacks who hadn't seen England footie muslims on Twitter yet.
This is from Euro 2016: https://aboutislam.net/muslim-issues/europe/muslims-support-england-football-team-euro-2016/
Now tell me why the losing side on this time's culture war are going to stop being racist.

Why reach for such desperate straw-men when the story in the OP is one of such positivity?
No-one here, AFAICS, has made any claim that England's PR will stop racists being racist; it has, though, made some communities feel included and the bigoted right in Government to look both nasty and foolish.
Struggling to see why this has triggered such a response from you?

They're not.
But they're losing.
And they know they're losing.
That's the point being made.

I thought you were trying to make a general point about racism in football, flag wearing, 3 lions etc..
Perhaps your tweet-paste content-light OP with a click-baity FAQ-busting title should have been more specific if you only wanted people to comment delightfully on how nice that tweet was. Sorry for trying to divine what broader point you were trying to make.

Fuck it, it's fine.
It's "It's coming home", not "bring it home". Can't even get that right.

Good FLAF statement on here which will sum up the experiences of some of us on here
