... Or not ...

It doesn't help the "lets take our flag back from racist segments of our society" arguments very much sadly!

So tell me you don't have a festival t shirt or a band T shirt andy and I'll happily think you aren't a hypocrite ;-)
This is just a flag with a hood, clever little design, simple and cheap to make, doesn't really resemble a Klansman's outfit unless you go looking for that similarity, is cheap, waterproof and designed to support the England team- nothing to be upset about to be honest. Some people are way too easily offended, usually because they've woven their own drama into something unworthy of it. It's just a flag with a hat.

Just a further thought about this: if a huge number of people went to ASDA and bought one of these things, and wore it, would people think there had suddenly been a surge in support for the kkk (which has never been all that big in England anyway)?
Unlikely in my opinion
In fact, if they really caught on the real kkk might think they needed to change their attire to avoid being associated with England :-)
Is it not time for English people proudly to reclaim their national symbol properly and not apologise for the fact that in some people's eyes some might associate it (rather tenuously perhaps) with the attire of a few racists in another country . It's not as if someone has bent the St George's cross into a swastika deliberately ...
When it comes down to it, a white flag with a hood is going to look a bit like a kkk cloak no matter what you do with it

AH you said
That automatically divorces them from the knuckle-draggers who need to band together to hide their insecurity by acting mob-handed.
My point was not that you need to be a knuckle-dragger to wear such a piece of nonsense, only that it will appeal to knuckle-draggers who adore dressing in a similar style as part of their bonding exercise.
don;t many of these Muslims extremists or other, wear a piece of apparel that makes them bond together, look the same, don't see that being any different.
for some reason you and others are happy to disparage, call low life, scum and worse about your fellow countrymen, just because they wear a flag around their shoulders, rugby fans do it as do Cricket fans, are they also knuckle draggers.
