Is it acceptable, or is it jingoistic?
Not sure

It’s ok to enjoy it … great music … it’s also ok to also think Empire & Imperialism were awful for most people. I take heart in all the different flags being waved, in peace - reminds me most people in this country are decent people, who happily rub along with each other.

I love it - especially tonight - showing the right sort of pride in our flags and anthems. London looks better tonight draped in Union Flags than it did this afternoon in Whitehall.
