How many other countries flags have been defaced like this?
Try doing it with the jocks or Irish/Welsh flags and see what happens.
The flag of St George is seen as an object to be scorned in some folks eyes.
Perhaps Thornberry works for Nike now?

Actually he is a tw@t for trying to appeal to the faux outrage of the gammons on this, not a smart move IMO.

I've been quietly amused by the gammon losing their **** over a design on a football shirt, I mean its not as if it hasn't been done before in other England kits, but I guess gammons memories don't go back very far!! Get a ****inglife! Its a design on a flippin football shirt not the reworking of a national flag.

The flag of St George, which was actually the flag of Genoa, adopted by the English so that they could gain protection from pirates at sea.

Oh and St George, who wasn't English (possibly of Greek and Palestinian descent and never set foot in England. Indeed it is very likely today that you and the other gammons would in fact be demanding the repatriation of anyone of his heritage who dared to set foot on English soil.

So ****ing funny I've nearly wet myself!!
