DP’s new football flag has given me the ick!

DP is a big football fan and they have been promoted so he is excited for the new season to start. He goes with a group of 5/6 mates and they always have a flag to take to away matches. To mark their promotion, they’ve ordered a new one.

DP took delivery of it yesterday. It is an England flag with the club badge on it. They have added the text ‘On the charge with Farage’ 😩

Instant ick…am I overreacting!?

At least point out bare minimum that Farage should be pronounced Faridge as in Garage so it makes no sense anyway

So many wind up threads in the last couple of days. 🙄

I mean it doesn't even rhyme? Does it?

On the charge
With Fa - rarge?

Maybe it does in some accents but they sound quite different in mine.

Also straight in the bin (bloke and flag).

Ew

Livpool · 25/07/2025 13:32

Ugh - what has Farage even got to do with it?!

NetballHoop · 25/07/2025 13:32

Supporting either Farage or Corbyn would be grounds for divorce in my household.

Is this the first time you realised your DP's political sentiments?

ilovesooty · 25/07/2025 13:26

I wouldn't want any kind of intimacy with him again. However I assume you knew what his political views were. Does he realise he might not be able to enter the stadium with it?

Picklechicken · 25/07/2025 13:23

That would be going straight in the bin. Total ick.

sandwichlover93 · 25/07/2025 13:20

I wouldn’t be able to have a relationship with someone like this. Sorry. Farage is a dishonest fascist who spouts racist bullshit.

FrenchFancie · 25/07/2025 13:08

urgh - that’s not good. Did you know him and his mates are racists?

Followthebouncingthumb · 25/07/2025 13:06

He's promoting Facism and Dictatorships. It used to be called something else historically.

Nigel is very in at the mo. Your DP and his gang will be the envy of many with their tribute flag.
