R1 - I don't know why you feel like you do.
I can only tell you facts (ie it is not racist to display St Georges Flag) and I can tell you my own feelings. If you don't feel comfortable flying the St Georges Flag, then I am afraid that is down to you.
There are a number of people in this country that seem to want to complain about things that they have no knowledge of - if you value their opinion, then that is up to you.

I would argue with this - whenever we go out of a major tournament, the referees (ie circumstance) have been blamed. Certainly the last Rugby World Cup, an appalling decision made by the fourth ref in not awarding a try to us made us lose :)

Is it? Do we come off badly in the first or second world war? Yes we come off badly with the Empire, mainly because it probably wasn't a great thing for the wealth of those individual countires.
