Kier Starmer has been told not to wear an England shirt during the EUROs

In case it upsets Scotland

Ffs! Have we actually become this divided and petty that we're going to get angry at an English man for supporting his country during a football tournament?! I'm sick of it

This is right up there with the 'you can't hang an England flag' shit the tabloids are so fond of. Do people really fall for this shit?

He's English. He should be able to support his team.

Yeah. This. What if they were playing against Wales or Scotland or N Ireland?

This story/thread is from before the election, when Scotland were still in the tournament.

I would be surprised if anyone in Scotland cared that an English man is wearing an England strip

Well, yes. Thank you for answering a different question to the one I asked by telling me something I already know!

HTH hun

Ah, I see, thank you.

PMs, princes, presidents etc surely wear suits at such events!

Couldn't care less..as long as he's good at the day job.

I'm English, but it wouldn't have bothered me if Gordon Brown had worn a Scotland shirt when he was the British PM.

Well, yes. Thank you for answering a different question to the one I asked by telling me something I already know!

I'm Scottish and was AGREEING with you. FFS. I thought it's us who were supposed to be easily offended.

It has been a very quiet week in politics. They need to find SOMETHING.

I'm Scottish, I don't care. Would be funny if he wore a Spanish one though 😆

Surely not that many men of his age would wear and England shirt anyway?

I support England I wouldn’t wear the shirt either.

I don't mind at all what he wears although if it were a palestinian flag shirt or ban the bomb or whatever that might not be wise.

(Plenty of men his age will be wearing the shirt but it probably depends on their social class as to whether they do or not).
