A local pub is having the outside and inside painted red and white for our flag. Maybe this is where they got the idea from :)
But on topic with the thread, if people live in our country they should respect our traditions and be tolerant of them, we are tolerant towards their traditions and their beliefs, just because it is now religion does not mean it is not important. It's football for goodness sake, during the first world war, on Christmas day, the war was stopped. During this day, Britain and Germany played a friendly game of football! If that doesn't say something about peace and equality of all men no matter what tongue, race, heritage and background, then I don't know what does!
