Brits, what's going on with people showing the England flag all of a sudden?

Heard people are using it to scare immigrants which is obviously awful. Saw 2 of them today during a walk which weren't there before... Seeing this hate against coloured people spreading around the world is NOT what I want to deal with or see. It's sick. Can we please just treat eachother with respect?? Just be kind, it's not hard...

Why not

@Monalisasmith86 Because using the flag as a tool to intimidate immigrants is wrong? They're people too and deserve the same level of respect as everyone else

@JJones so do British people on their own land

@Monalisasmith86 British people are NOT better than immigrants. We share this planet, no one has any right to kick people out of their country just because they don't like their skin colour or whatever sick reason you have against immigrants. Not to mention that they help the UK, they go to work and pay taxes, the NHS would collapse without them. Immigrant are PEOPLE. Treat them with the basic respect they deserve

@JJones but you are telling people on there own land not to be patriotic they have just as much rights as immigrants

JJones · 22-25, M

@Monalisasmith86 It's not about being patriotic, they're using the flag to spread nothing but hate. Stop with this nonsense

Monalisasmith86 · 41-45, F

@JJones no they are not

@Monalisasmith86 This article says otherwise
