Today’s Guardian had a St George’s flag wrapped around it. But to ensure that Guardian readers were flying the flag for the right reasons, it came complete with small print.
By flying this flag I would like to show my support for the England team but:
1/ Wholeheartedley reject any connotations of xenophobic nationalism
2/ Dissassociate myself from anyone who removes his shirt in public
3/ Salute the rich contribution made by my Celtic cousins to British life
4/ Reaffirm my commitment to the European Social Chapter
Please tell me you are joking…
I’m not joking. But I suspect that the Guardian may be.
Sunday papers
Catching up on Sunday papers, I see the LA Times has a story on recent proliferation of the English flag
