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

[HollyUpNorth]

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!?

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

🤮🤮🤮

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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

Ew

Did ye aye

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).

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

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

there's a very good chance they won't be allowed to even use that (gross) flag at the grounds - many have bans on political flags - are they a bit thick for spending their money on a flag that probably will be prohibited?

I’d be kicking his racist arse out of my life. That’s not the ick op that is just gross and wrong.

He says it will be fine to take in as stadiums only check the size of flags rather than the content.

Has he explained why? Because the only explanation is that they want to display racism, or make a joke meaning they think it’s funny to pretend to display racism (it’s not).

Have you asked him to explain the sentiment behind their choice, and why they think it’s funny? I’d be interested to hear him justify himself.

Well he's going to be our next PM so you might as well get used to it now 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

if they have been promoted to the premier league that's absolutely not the case at many of those grounds - as he and his equally unpleasant buddies will soon find out.

Not the point, even if that were true.

Has he explained why he wanted a flag with that wording?

Absolutely.
