I used to think this was a bit "chavvy", and would avoid, but recently I feel a bit bad about that judgement.
White working class culture is a legitimate culture within our society. It was, until recently, the majority culture in the UK. Patriotism, the queen, the flag, the army, football, these are emblems of pride for them. It might be looked down on by the intelligentsia, but these values were what took us through two world wars.
I think the recent resurgence of flag waving is a kind of desperation from a group in society that is increasingly marginalised. The white working class are underachieving both academically and economically, particularly boys. Yet they sit back and watch every government policy insist on weighting privilege and funding against them.
Yet they're not in general, troublesome or criminal, or that antisocial. Or inherently any more racist than any other group.
They might be less vocally "virtue signalling", but they're the ones whose communities have been most impacted by multiculturalism. They live in many of the areas where they have become a minority.
Personally, i think the whole antagonism towards "chav culture" has led us to a point where they have decided to stand up and make themselves visible. They've watched as their home communities have become less recognisable as theirs. Whilst this opinion might be unpopular, its not something we would expect any other country in the world to eagerly embrace.
I think its time to respect those people, and hopefully improve harmony and race relations before they are provoked into a real crisis. I'm surprised by the amount of negativity here. Let them have their flag. 😔
