Is The English Flag Racist? | Good Morning Britain 

You live in England, that flag is for the people who inhabit England, the English. Don’t like it, leave.

I,M SICK TO DEATH OF THIS ANTI ENGLISH HATRED.

This black dude is ridiculous

5 years ago but we literally crusaded against SLAVERY FOR 175 YEARS and we LIBERATED SLAVES FROM SHIPS in the 1800s and some liberated actually joined the Royal Navy

This is the English flag if they don't like it leave. Racism is a two sided coin give it a rest.

The idea that the flag is racist is just ridiculous. What is in that man’s mind is in my opinion racist. He is looking for reasons to be offended. Focus on living a life in harmony and stop sweating the small stuff.

This flag is such a beauty to me. I wish I could see it more often around all England instead of being exclusively reserved for international sport events only. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The blacks should be told firmly if you dont like this Country or its flag then clear off now.

Is any flag racist . If you don't like it here leave why are you here ?

Same old poor me...sick to death of this shit!

Wow he really does not like England, perhaps he should leave if he feels so much hatred towards the English and white people.

Long Live England and its flag

St Andrew was hardly Scottish and St Patrick was a Briton who first went to Ireland after being captured by Irish slavers

The Windrush people were not "brought" here, they came here of their own choice looking for work. None were sent invitations or requests. Britain was short of workers and had openly said so but I have been and worked in many countries but not one offered me a passport. There is a huge irrational jump made. They did not register as residents or gain citizenship and that was wrong. They were forgiven but instead of that being seen as kindness they are still seen as victims for not following the law. I am happy that they have been forgiven and that their children that are innocent victims of their parents crime are legalised but those that complain should have that kindness revoked. As for slavery, maybe the British should regret being the country that did the most to end slavery in a world where slavery was the norm. Which countries sold the most of their people? Britain is not on the list. Britain's most significant part in slavery was ending it and for that we have nothing to be ashamed of. This man is looking for victim status rather than pride in the country that did so much for him.

Im buying a flag jusg so i can walk round with it

It is racist to suggest any nationalities' flag is racist.

If you are not British English Scottish Welsh or Northern Irish And you are unhappy here, then go home. Simple

Piers morgan flip flops over the show depending on what’s popular or not

This is the UK flag if you don’t like it go to a country you do like there flag at the end of the day I couldn’t see any other country giving up there flag for people that have come into the country and demand so much more than our own people get

As a British Greek Cypriot, I see that saying the English flag is racist because of a few minority far right groups who use it as their symbol is like saying that Christmas should be made illegal because of a minority who don’t celebrate it.

What about the German flag, we don’t keep bring up their history every time its flown

Why does he stay in the uk

"The English flag is racist" what nonsense

St George was chosen because of his values.

Fly your flag proudly.

about time these ppl realised this is england not the middle east ,,,

We have the British flag, because this is England, and if people from other counties don't like it, then stop moaning, go home and fly your own flag in your own country !!!🇬🇸

My front door is racist, it's white 😂

Simple, if you dont like it LEAVE.

Go preach your 'everything is racist' gospel somewhere else.

Of course it isn't a racist flag but some people have destroyed it's reputation

Every country flys their flags with pride and rightly so

It's the far left we should fear

This is the Country's flag , We're Proud !

Love my flag and proud of my flag if you hate the English or British flag then leave move abroad.

The state of our nation when we can't fly our flag - unbelievable.

Eish that woman is a pain

Didn't know a flag had feelings and opinions 😂

No it is not racist, everyone saying otherwise is wrong. The English flag is fantastic and represents good and well bred Englishmen. England, the United Kingdom, greatest country in the world, at least it used to be.

The fact this is a serious question astounds me😂 This man is a joke.

Anglophobia.

If you hate a country’s flag, then don’t live there………

He thinks he’s living in the most racist country in the world but lives in the least racist country in the world.

It depends on context like everything else. If we cut our food with a knive its a benign utensil, if we threaten someone with it , its a weapon.

Go and tell the King to remove the one he flies over Buckingham Palace !

Why do you insist on having on the man who thinks everything is racist?

If you don't like my flag then you don't belong here .

You don’t like leave the country

The English flag is more Christian than racist; and how the hell do you get 'racist' out of a bunch of coloured crosses? (Oh ... I see, your prejudices are showing.) I'm an atheist, dyed in the wool and religious about it, but I still luvs me flag.

Someone’s mistakenly turned on the comments! Probably Schofield.. 0_o

*Buys English flag. Will go perfect with my support British army outside

Personally, I don’t give 2 ‘friar tucks’ what people think about my national flag, I’ll fly it wherever and whenever I want to. If you object, then feel free to live elsewhere.

It is our flag! Tired of this anti English sentiment.

Kehinde is a DEI expert. I can tell.

This is our national flag and it should be flown from every flagpole in England 24/7. Frankly if you are offended by it you shouldn't be in this country full stop.

I remember this foreign creep from an interview some years ago. If anyone is going to instigate racial tension it's him. Kick him out.

Absolutely do not let them take your flag!! This is English history and pride. For those who don't like it bugger off!!

Windrush weren’t brought here

The just jealous of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

No it's not, just as the confederate flag isn't racist. it's a flag that represents a country or state in the USA

Why is England not listed as a country? Although England operates as a semi-autonomous region, it is not officially an independent country and instead is part of the country known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland-the United Kingdom for short

I don’t think its so much the English Flag as flags in general. Patriotism exists in Wales and Scotland, but not so much in England. Whenever I go to either Scotland or Wales, I see their flag as a symbol of pride. It’s used on products that are sold there and places that you visit. Whereas in England, anything that made there uses the Union Flag if anything at all. There are perhaps many reasons for this, but I suspect its England’s dominance as a nation that has a lot to do with it, going back generations to the ruling classes and their superiority. The class system in England is very much alive and well, sadly, which is very much linked to our past. Therefore there is a significant delineation between the lower, working classes, middle classes and the upper classes. The St George’s Flag seems to have been adopted by those in the lower/working class and it’s image is associated with this. But in reality, I don’t see the middle class in England showing any sort of patriotism outside of a sporting event or Royal event and even then a small minority would display a flag. Although, interestingly I have seen it in a very upper class setting in very expensive country hotel in the Cotswolds.

If Americans fly there flag with pride why can’t we.

It's the Cross of St George, our patron saint, I hate all this anti British attitude. Just realized this was posted 5 years ago! Sadly still causing problems in 2024!

The black guy is in delululu land he speaks the English language he eats British food in a British home and enjoys British freedom I don't understand why people like this don't move away and live a happy life somewhere else

The Dr seemed to me to have some sort of axe to grind - thank goodness for the common sense that Nigel Forage spoke up for/with. The English flag is for everyone who lives in this country with no exceptions or exclusions. Thanks for uploading.

Did someone marry that women 😮. Poor git.

This is the flag of my country I see no issue with it, I will never be ashamed of it and would not deny someone's right to fly it. If someone does something bad with anything, does it mean it should be banned. For instance, if someone throws a stone and breaks a window should we ban all stones?

It’s the flag of Great Britain! Just because it offends some people of colour doesn’t mean we should take it down.

They won't let him speak; and they are acknowledging he's right.

I can't believe this. Why on earth is this family living in a country that they hate?

St George's Day 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Today’s fun fact: st George was not an 11th Century Englishman who slayed a dragon in Oxfordshire

Nigel, don't you think the Mint should bring out a new 50 pence coin commemorating the 150th birthday next year of Sir Winston Churchill? They gave us one with the words "Diversity Built Britain" recently. They could redeem themselves a little this way.

I'm English, it's racist not to allow me to celebrate Englishness.

Unbelievable... I suggest he emigrates to America where everyone and everything has an American flag flying from it... He would probably even get away with flying the Union Jack there !!!

St. Edmund was the first patron saint of England up until 1350 when he was replaced by St. George - Not sure why. At least Edmund was an English king.

Well my flagpole with the England flag flying is staying up, the only restriction on it is the height, not many people walk past it but 10,000 cars a day drive past.

I heard the flag is an Italian business contract and was rented off of Genoa, what about people doing some history, so this guy is saying Italians are racist? In legal property law today it means it may not legally be our flag. Another example is that the union is not legally binding since devotion... it is null and void legally... though people people have ethnocentric nostalgia, an international phenomenon

Just tell him to go to a country that has flag he’s happy with, and stay there. The time will come when he apologises and asks if he can return to the most free and generous country in the world. I’m not sure we would want him back, but that’s the deal he created when he insults his homeland

What are these people on about I'm English and I am proud of my country and flag, if people don't like our flag or our country you don't have to stay here

How can a flag be a racist symbol!? I'll tell you how. When its misappropriated by jingoists. The guest speaker has a point.

Trying to understand; so if I’m Native American, Australian Aboriginal, Hawaiian etc. I may have nativist passions but not if I’m English? Hmmm 🤔 I see.

It called democracy, one person objects, so sod the majority , it's England, fly the flag with pride as the Welsh fly the Dragon and are proud of it.

If you don’t like it leave. Enough!

Im english and proud, I'm going to work on my eloquention and pronunciation, futhermore people like this guy confuse youngsters some of whom dont have alot of pride guidence or any confidence and stop the wave of nationalism and support for our king we need to have in order to have a moral civilised society! The king is and should be constantly acknowledged as our hero and the ever patient loving Father of our nation!

St George is the patron saint of other countries.

Like we keep saying if you don't like it get yourself and your families and leave it's not hard . England forever 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The saints are pretty funny though, England's saint is Greek. Irelands saint Patrick is Welsh lol

When you find out saint george was of greek origin you will have a completely different outlook lol

If only we hadn't imported the thitd world. Should have listened to Enoch.

That Flag Is Majestic It Is My Pride And Honour 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I cannot believe that they are trying to catch nigel farage out about where the flag comes from .

This is our Flag of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 if you don’t want it then go to a country with a flag that you feel more comfortable with, one things for sure go to many countries spouting that out you would be deported. Try it and see what happens 😮

No wonder he gets beaten up , when the English watch this.

If St George wan't English, and we chose him, then in my opinion you cannot get less racist than that.

His complex is nauseating.

It's people like Andrews that keep racism alive. If he sees our flag as racist then he's the one with the issue.
