Gary Neville has revealed that he removed a Union flag from one of his Manchester building sites because they are being used quotes in a negative fashion. According to him, the former England and Manchester United player defended a three-minute video on spoken a three-minute video on LinkedIn claiming the British public is quotes being turned on each other. whilst he also accused angry middle-aged white men of dividing the country by using the Union flag in a negative fashion. This was Neville. I just kept thinking as I was driving home last night that we’re all being turned on each other and the division that’s being created um is absolutely disgusting. mainly created by angry middle-aged white men who know exactly what they’re doing. Uh, funnily enough, on one of my development sites last week, there was a Union Jack flag put up, and I took it down instantly. And some people might be watching this and thinking, “Well, Gary, you’re not very patriotic. I played my country 85 times. I love my country. I love Manchester and I love England, but I’ve been building in this city for 15, 20 years and there’s no one put a Union Jack jack flag up in the last 15 to 20 years. So why do you need to put one up now? Because quite clearly it’s sending a message to everybody that there is something you don’t like. The Union Jack flag being used in a negative fashion is not right. And I’m a proud supporter of England, of Great Britain, of our country, and we champion it anywhere in the world as being one of the greatest places to live. But I think we need to check ourselves. We need to check ourselves and sort of start to think about bring ourselves back to a neutral point because we’re being pulled right and left and we don’t need to be pulled right and left at all. That was Gary Neville. Um, we’re about to go into an international break. We’re in an international break and his England will be playing and we’ll see the Union Jack, no doubt, the St. George’s flag being waved about here, there, and everywhere. Simon, can the the flag be unifying in football, but in other areas of society, devis it. I think it’s astonishing in the wake of an Islamist terror attack that he decides to have a go at middle-aged white men. Maybe the middle angry middle-aged white men are the ones that worked on minimum wage inside his hotel. I don’t know. Um I think he’s a champagne socialist social socialist and a coward. I think it’s a dreadful thing to have said. Um how is he a coward? Well, I think the real issue is about radical Islamistic extremism and he doesn’t have the balls to call it out for what it is rather than suggest that people that are challenged in our country about what’s happening. He’s insulated from these things. He lives in a very rarified world where his money and privilege has enabled him to live behind a gated environment, not have to worry about NHS appointments, not have to worry about uh people being attacked in the streets by immigrants that shouldn’t be here in the first place. He doesn’t have to worry about these things. And so he has the ability to be able to sit there and observe in such a way that insulates him from him, insulates himself from it. And I think it’s an appalling stance to have taken. He’s entitled to his view. He’s entitled to a view. um uh we are quite happy to wave every other flag in this country, whether it’s Palestinian flags, Ukraine flags, or any other flag that we feel that we’re able to ra to wave. But when you’re talking about people in this country that have legitimate concerns and want to have a legitimate value set and push back against what they’re having forced upon them, for Gary Neville to say what he’s just said is the exact embodiment of what I said, which is a champagne socialist which is insulated from the real world and a coward because the real issue is about some of the extremism that’s going on in this country. At this precise time in which we are living, do you think certain football fans will think twice about waving a flag? Well, it depends. I mean, if you listen to ghastly ex Labour MPs like Emily Thornbury, anyone that waves the flag St. George’s is a thug and a lite, you know. It depends who you want to listen to. I think you should be proud of your country. I think you should be proud of your country’s flag. It only seems to be this country that seems to think that because there were a few people, a minority of people that want to adopt it and utilize it for the potentially the wrong reasons that somehow it represents. It’s like suggesting that every single time you have an issue with something in this country, you push back against the narrative of undocumented young males coming across into our country. You’re a racist. There’s nothing racist about that. It’s having a concern and being able to voice it. And the politicians and people of influence in this country are not and have not been listening. Emanuel, you are a World Cup winner. How patriotic are you at this time about the French flag? a lot. Um well, if you see my whole family, we’ve been so dedicated um to um to the French flag and um my whole family, I mean cousins, they are in army. I got kusen as well working um as teachers as well um national you know education. So we’ve been dealing with with a with a country for many many generations. So my grandfather was as well part of um the resistance you know I don’t know the know the word you know during the second world war. So we’ve been we’ve been linked with France deeply but um as a patriot not as nationalist people which is for me the big difference you know of course there is racist people in France of course there is racist people in England but for me it’s the man minority of people. So if you try to mix different things and um you you put confusion into people’s mind and this is exactly what I don’t like. We are living nowadays in our society you know people are trying to divide us all the time try trying to point finger at you because you love your country. This is something I’ve been witnessing you know in France for years now. Um recently as well I’ve been very shocked about what I’ve seen on TVs. uh people are trying to be proud of the French flag and all of a sudden they’ve been there were people around them pointing finger at them saying that you should be ashamed about your flag. I am in France. I am a French guy. I love my country. So there is no reason why you you you’re telling me I’m a racist guy because I love my flag and I love my country. I mean, if you travel everywhere in the world, you you go into countries that are very nationalist and they’re very proud about their flag and we don’t we don’t see them as racist and uh I don’t I don’t get it honestly. But do you think Gary Neville has a point that maybe here there are certain individuals who are hijacking the flag, the Union Jack flag sometimes, you know, when you go It’s the same in France. Yeah, it’s it’s totally the same in France. We’re living actually um in um we’re trying to fight against you know as you said um Islamism you know very very bad because we have millions of Muslim you know living in France and they are respecting the country and they want to live with us under the same flag with the same value they have different religions and it doesn’t matter if you if we have the same values we can live together and there is a minority of people they don’t want that they want to split, they want to put confusion into people’s mind. So when when I hear I hear things like this that um I feel sad honestly I feel sad because you you have to be proud of your country and if someone wants to to show the flag of of the country you you must be happy with that. There’s no attempt. I mean, I don’t really attach that much importance to what Gary Neville says anyway, but in so far as he’s a voice that people want to listen to, he’s a very good football observer, a very good football commentator. You need to understand the motivations of people and the reasons why they do things. And you’d be well served in remembering that these angry white men that you reference are the same angry white men that possibly have paid enormous amounts of money that have gone into your extraordinary wages over the years. So you need to get some context and some balance and some empathy of understanding why people might think that valuing their flag in a time when our country is being challenged left, right, and center by a variety of issues is something that people should want to do and doesn’t make them angry or doesn’t make them extreme and it doesn’t make them racist. There is something I don’t understand that um it’s only meet white men. Yeah. Low hanging fruit. Easy to do. There is only white English people in this country. Well, it’s low hanging fruit. It’s an easy attack. It’s but it’s it’s positioning itself against people like there there’s a character in this country called Tommy Robinson that represents a certain You divide people when you say that. Well, of course you do, but that’s that will be lost on our Gary. I don’t I don’t understand that. And in the meantime, I know I know black people that are French. I know white people that are French. I don’t we don’t care about the the color of your skin, the religion. As I said, if you live under the same flag with the same value, I don’t care what you you love in your life, you know. So when you say white men, for me, you make a really strong difference between people that showing that flag, you you raise the flag, no doubt, in this international break. The the French, you know, over here the English flag is is flown by many football fans. Is it the same in France when when when you play a match? Do do the French feel we love the trick. This is why I love football as well and sport because this is the only part of the society when you can show your love the love for your country without being pointed as a racist person. If you do that in the street or sometime you can do that on national days you know um like for for example the 14th of July which is the national day in France you see so many French flag in the country people they don’t they don’t don’t matter about that because this is the day for that but uh more and more um it’s happening in in my country um French fries disappear you know from the the habitation you know houses things like this Because I’m I’m not going to say they are scared about that, but uh it’s like uh if we do that, people think you’re racist and I don’t like it. Um Gary Neville revealing that he removed a union flag from one of his Manchester sites because they’re being used in a negative fashion.
