The display of the english flag from cars is actually inducing nausea in me right now. Steer clear of anyone driving a vehicle with such a display of phoney football patriotism. They have probably got a criminal record or are in a stolen vehicle.
I am actually hoping 'England' - full of foreign players of course- is knocked out immediately to end this sickening spectacle of couch potato patriotism.
For all the right reasons to wave a flag football is the one that is chosen, which is beyond sad, isn't it?
I'm torn on this one. Of course we should all be allowed to fly our national flag if we so wish, but I agree there is something pathetic seeing the flag flying from cars at the moment, just as one cannot take seriously middle age men with beer guts walking around town wearing a football shirt, or heavily pierced and tatooed individuals proclaiming to the world at large, "Look at me, I'm stupid, I frighten people with my appearance, and I've made myself almost unemployable".
ReplyDeleteOK, I'll admit it, I'm a snob, but I can't help thinking about these people in this way.
Good post.I'm actually showing my support by wearing an 'Ingsoc' tee-shirt.
ReplyDeleteAs for John's comment, I really don't give a damn what people appear as;the real problem is the 'people' who do give a damn and commit psychological violence to make them conform.
sore.Your blog is fascinating although sometimes a trifle abstruse and overly convoluted.Keen and novel insights though.
