Unsurprisingly, the discouragement to bring flags resulted in the flag being turned into an item of defiance, it seems to have encouraged more people do display them. Probably unintentionally, the interesting effect of the defiance seems to have been a clear peer pressure from the majority of flag-bearers for the minority to not disgrace the flag with racism and stupidity.
Yeah alls well that ends well. Was always gunna happen. Good that the peer pressure thing happened mld. BDO bosses admitted they couldn't have handled it much worse. I reckon there's been a good outcome though in that the thugs who were wearing the flag were isolated and had to have a look at themselves.
Interesting article I thought I'd post as a counterpoint to our old mate Bolty's work. He also includes the quote of Samuel Johnson.

Agree with that statement bigtime. I can't believe anyone actually supported the stance, though not surprisingly, an overwhelming majority voiced their disapproval. I don't think it was intended to come across the way it did and I'm glad they realised that and had the common sense to back off.
