    The thing is, the flag is not associated with racism and hooliganism because a committee sat down and decided. It’s because racists and hooligans do racist and hooligan shit whilst waving the flag. If you want to save its tarnished image, you need to make the racists and hooligans stop associating themselves with the flag…

      But then a movement of people not doing that shit while waving the flag would offset the problem, no?

        Well then you get to the shit sandwich analogy - it doesnt matter how little shit there is, or how good the sandwich is, you aint eating it!
