What is going on with people painting the red cross on the roundabouts to make the flag of england?

And why is this being related to rascism? It's not like people are burning the flag of other countries in videos.
Many things that are normal in NI have their roots in sectarianism. Painting the kerb in union Jack or tricolour colours is also normal, but has roots in racism.
If they are complaining about immigration, it's about legal and illegal. People they meet are always the good ones. It's the imaginary ones that love a life of Reilly on a pittance that they hate. Everything is too expensive, even when you work, while simultaneously, migrants like refugees who get basic money to live are the problem.
They're always complaining about those 'nasty immigrants' who are both here to simultaneously steal their jobs whilst claiming all of the benefits going.
The simple translation... racists... they're all racist, xenophobic wankers and this country would actually be better of without them in it rather than those seeking a better life and are willing to work hard to get it.
In reality, Northern Ireland is a lovely place. A lot of our culture may have bad roots but most people are quite relaxed about everything.
Yes, it's great. Parts of the culture that are steeped in racism are not the good parts.
Not causing waves is not the same as being relaxed. I wouldn't complain about the colours in either community for my own safety there. People wanting to move on is purposely ignoring the bad parts to allow healing. The bad parts still need to go, over time.
I think people can learn mutual respect over time without attacking traditions.
