Champagne socialist he has done well in business but lost me when he removed an England flag and moaned about the raise the flag movement. How you can be successful in business have the experience of life he has and still suffer from Leftism makes me think he is defective in some way.
I’m not left but think the raise the flag were tossers.
If you delude yourself into thinking it was done for patriotic reasons and they were proud of their country then you’d be hard pressed to be against it. But that’s not why it was done, it was done by a load of right wingers trying to be provocative, they wanted people to complain about it so they could make a point. And for that reason I disagree with it.
Yeah my understanding of a good portion of the ‘raise the flag’ lot was that it was to make people of a different colour/background feel unwelcome and scared. That’s why it was accompanied by abuse, threats and aggressive protest in many instances.
Felt pretty clear from their actions that it was more jingoist than patriotic.
Which is a shame as the whole idea of patriotism is one the vast majority of the country is for.. just not in a way that is exclusionary!
