These anti migrant protests 18:27 - Aug 9 with 993 viewsnoggin

Why do so many of the protesters, who are "not racist", drape themselves in union flags and St. George's crosses? How does that protect the children, in any way?

Also, don't they see the irony of singing "Rule Britannia, Britannia Rules The Waves", then complaining about being invaded?

No idea but they shouldn't be allowed to hijack the meaning of the flags.

Truly impaired.

Gimme a country that's red white and blue
Gimme the British way honest and true
Gimme the chance to be one of the few
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme

Cos, I'm all right, I'm all right
Union Jack, fly the flag

They are so patriotic that they don't even get the words right. It is:
"Rule Britannia,
Britannia, rule the waves", an exhortation or wish, not a statement of superiority.

(Just as some Town fans used to get Edward Eb wrong, with the correct version "Everybody, call me Ted" (request, not statement) now being generally accepted following last season's cartoons / illustrations.)

Agree on your second point.

But what is the link in your first between racism and the Union Jack/St George?

Why, if the protest is aimed at protecting the children, do they need so many flags? Surely you can see that? What is the point of the flags?

I get where you're coming from but that doesn't explain why you *appear* to infer that the flags are linked to racism.

Because a protest about migrants is actually a jingoistic expression of "Britishness".
