Furious with DH’s new England flag

NC’d for this. About half the houses on our street put flags up during the big football tournaments. DH put one up with his teams badge on at the weekend, and took delivery of a new flag today. He’s proudly displayed this - it’s a St George’s cross with ‘In Farage We Trust’ printed across the middle 😫

I’ve told him to take it down and that the neighbours will judge but he’s standing firm. Would it be wrong of me to tear it down myself?!

Its a great form of birth control

yes, nothing wrong with england flags during the world cup, though I wouldn't want one up myself, but I would be embarrassed to have one with that message on. I was going to suggest you bought a different country's flag and put that up also if you don't support england, but i would tell dh he wasn't allowed to have this up, it's your house too.

I would leave him for this.

YABVU for not posting a link to the seller so real patriots can buy one for themselves.

Grab a red marker pen and scribble out the text??

LTB!

Seriously though, I’d be pissed off too!

I would make judgements about your family based on the message on that flag and they wouldn’t be positive

Farage is a terrible football manager. All his attacks go down the right hand side.

Did d you know it said that (or was it on special offer)?

No I had no idea, he’s clearly taken inspiration from a house two down who have a similar flag with political messaging although not that party.

Of course it wouldn't be.

I'd burn it too so he can't put it back up.
