Racism masqueraded as patriotism and showing support for the Lionesses beating Spain in the football.
Same with the flags on lamposts, it's all really protesting about the migrant hotels.
If you watch it on the news, look at the protestors - it's always the mouth breathing morons who complain about immigration being too high and that they should be kicked out, but then they'll get taxis, takeaways, use the NHS etc and not even realise their own hypocrisy
Flags on lampposts are normal in Northern Ireland.
Usually the ones I find complaining are about illegal immigrants. Not immigrants in general who abide by the law
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.
