To ask you to explain the logic - Gary Neville and flags

Gary Neville should keep his opinions to football. Got way too much to say from a political stance.

Some of those men helped to pay his wages. Again who cares what he thinks?

Gary Neville is right. It appears to be the same people who were anti ulez in London (‘blade runners’ 🤦‍♀️ffs), fathers for justice and assorted other racists.
I’m sick of it - although only managing to get the flags half way up is a great metaphor 🤭

Part of the problem is that you think the Scottish, Welsh and EU flags are the politically correct flags.

Nothing upsets the gammon brigade more than someone who disagrees with them. And yet they all love freedom of speech? I guess only when the speech in question is in line with their beliefs. Thick as fuck the lot of them.

Think its time a counter movement got started...instead of Raise the Colours, those of us who think British values are about justice, fairness and tolerance could have our own Unite the Colours movement - raise a flag to demonstrate togetherness rather than prejudice while being patriotic (could have Scottish and Welsh versions where those flags are front and centre).

Couldn't agree more with @buffyangel

Please don’t tar “the working class” with the same brush as these “angry white men” thank you very much.

As for his football team, they will survive with or without these supporters. We don’t want them in the game anyway.

Flags on poles in gardens. Very common. Usually a certain demographic. Racist and not very bright.

It’s pretty ironic that the flag wavers/protesters bang on about freedom of speech being lost etc. Yet as soon as someone doesn’t agree with their opinion, they lose their shit!

He was from a working class family originally and played for a football team partly financed by the kind of men he is now hating on. I think they are annoyed and he could have made his point without targeting ‘angry white men’.

Remember the protest they had the other week .. all about protecting the right for Free Speech … turns out that was only when someone was agreeing with them.

Rylan spouts lies about Free iPads .. he’s a Free Speech hero
Neville talks about flags … needs to be sacked

Sad thing is, they can’t see the irony

Yes, exactly the point OP is making. He can have an opinion, no need for people who disagree to cancel their Sky over it 🤣

I can't even bear to hear ex footballers talk about football let alone anything else.

I don't think that the reason for the flags is a freedom of speech protest.

Why do we need to care what Gary Neville thinks.
He's just another person on this planet with an opinion. We all have an opinion on things.

It's very similar to the way the trans rights activists were complaining about the woman adult human female poster and getting that taken down everywhere.

I'm not sure that you can read people's motives perhaps as well as you think you can.

I think a lot of people absolutely sick to death of being told they can't wave their own flag but at the same time a Palestinian flag for example or a Pride flag is absolutely fine.

I agree @buffyangel

Gary Neville is right.

Don't know if I will get slated here but I agree with Neville. In my opinion these flags are being used not as a patriotic statement but as a threat and scaremongering tactic aimed at non-white people and legal immigrants. The flags seem to pop up overnight under cover of darkness and nobody seems to want to take resposibility for puting them up. Not just the flags though. There are red crosses being painted on public property - lamposts, roads, roundabouts, shops run by people of non-english heritage. It's just horrible racist intimidation.
