Talking of non football, their flag seems to cross over into politics, I do hope they don’t take it to games. (Photo on scunny fans Facebook)

A bit rich for a bloke who says what he wants to be recommending censorship.

The only thing is Heath I don’t promote my views on a flag “Yet” is that really the road we want to go down at football?

[Heath]

Personal choice of the flag waver!

What’s on this flag?

[Awaywego]

So it’s alright for someone to have a flag promoting “the iron right” “Ain’t no black on the union jack” “we support the government on the boat policy” Of course not,let’s just keep political views out of the Scunny matches.

[Siderite]

Yes, racist comments are definitly the same as supporting NHS staff on strike. :-S

[Awaywego]

Its only a racist comment if that’s the way you read it, or it could be someone’s personal choice just to put a statement of fact out there. Let’s keep the politics away from scunny games.

[Siderite]

Under no circumstances is “ain’t no black on the Union Jack” not a racist comment.

Poor comparison awaywego. Having seen the flag, can’t see what the big deal is. You want to censor a flag saying ‘Iron Left’ and ‘supporting NHS workers’?. And this from someone who declares women have no place in the men’s game? Twisted logic. I’m sure they will be taking the flag to matches. I’m sure they’ll be interested to discuss your grievances there.

That’s still only your opinion.

[Siderite]

You’d be hard pressed making an evidence based argument to the contrary.

[Awaywego]

I could maybe reference to the book “There ain’t no black in the union jack”

[Siderite]

I am sure the right wing football fans in your analogy who are using that are doing so to highlight racism in a way that book was. :-S

[Heath]

As Deerey says, if you are that bothered, go and have a word.

[Northumbiron]

The Iron Left….the Football League in 2022!

Thanks Swanny!

” “Ain’t no black on the union jack” is a racist comment ,only racist would try claim it isn’t.
When people claim to want to keep poltics out of football at seeing a left wing message ,I look at there profile if open it’s usally not long before you find dog whistle racism like these pics.

[Awaywego]

You missed the word “some” out In Britain 64, agree with the last bit though let’s end the foreign aid budget completely.

I am Treasurer of the Winterton Iron. One of our members has had this flag made without us knowing prior. I respect his views, freedom of speech and all that, but our membership is a ‘Broad Church’ and there are people from all political persuasions in our midst. Perhaps I should not have posted it on the Scunny fans page on facebook, I did not realise it was cause a furore. By the way the flag owner is one of the most kind and compassionate blokes you could ever wish to meet, heart of gold. UTWI
