Yeah. It's really simple: you wave the flag in the normal way, i.e. at the Proms, a classical music event that he really loves, or watching England, again, a thing he actually does really care about, you have it on government buildings, and make it clear you don't button up at the back.

Yes but he’s too terrified of the Sun et al to make that argument isn’t he? The flag is great for football, rugby, Wimbledon and the proms but put it up outside your house and you’re going to decrease the value of houses on that street - can you ever see him making that argument?

I mean...he shouldn't. It's actually a good thing that some people are just going 'oh, they look nice, don't they' and putting some up themselves because it blurs the message the far right wants to send, which is that I should feel unwelcome when I see my own flag!

Yeah - as it happens the interview didn't get onto graffiti, but it is the easiest bit, even when I like the design choices someone has made with a tag, I don't like to see it on my building.
