As you’ll already know by now, former Manchester United and England football Gary Neville was annoying all the right people this week when he said Union Jacks were being used in a ‘negative fashion’ by ‘angry middle aged white men who know exactly what they’re doing’.
“The division that’s been created is absolutely disgusting. Mainly created by angry middle-aged white men who know exactly what they’re doing.” – Gary Neville. pic.twitter.com/RhQECz5I5D

Lots of angry middle aged white men – like Jeremy Kyle for instance – were furious.
And one in particular – Talk Radio’s concrete-growing Mike Graham, took to Twitter to share the video of these protestors – angry, middle-aged white men, obviously – putting up flags in front of Neville’s hotel overlooking Old Trafford.
Graham said it was ‘brilliant’ …
This is funny. Manchester answers @GNev2 – have some British flags outside your hotel mate. Brilliant… pic.twitter.com/3LK8al8RvT

… but everyone else saw a magnificent self-own so big it was visible from space.

So Gary Neville said they were weaponising the flag and disguising it as being “patriotic”…
So to prove him wrong, you’ve gone and put it outside his hotel in an act of angry retaliation.

Neville says the flags are being put up by middle aged white blokes to make a point. To prove him wrong, a bunch of middle aged white blokes have turned up to put some flags up to make a point.
They really are thick as pig shit.

If his point wasn’t valid before, this literally proves his point about weaponising the flag https://t.co/IwILochWgU

Funny, or proving his view that the flag is being used to ‘prove a point’? Like a dog marking its territory to ward off others? See also this shitshow that’s appeared near me. That’s not ‘national pride’ it’s pathetic, scruffy aggression. pic.twitter.com/lxOxs6CeaR
