'Both of these flags are the flags that were flown on ships that enslaved my ancestors; those are the flags that the British Army marched into places like Pakistan, India, Bengal, Africa, and colonised 25 percent of the world.

'The far-Right picks up these flags and has consistently since the 60s, 70s, since my parents' generation have been in the country because these flags represent the racism that they are putting out into the world.

A Good Morning Britain guest has sparked fury by claiming the St George's flag is 'racist' and should be changed.

Controversial black studies professor Kehinde Andrews, who has previously attacked Britain and the Royal Family, claimed England's national flag was deep-rooted in racism amid a row over a 'patriotic outpouring' around the country.

An online movement called 'Operation Raise the Colours' has led to communities across the country hanging up Union Jack and St George's flags, including in Birmingham, London, Bradford, Newcastle and Norwich.

But a row broke out when Birmingham City Council announced it would begin removing British flags from the city's streets for 'safety reasons' - despite allowing Palestine flags to fly high for several months.

Council workers in Tower Hamlets, east London, were also met with abuse as they began to tear down flags hung by patriotic campaigners who insist they are not 'racist' but simply 'proud English men'.

It comes at a time when St George's flags have frequently been displayed by protesters outside migrant hotels - including The Bell Hotel, in Epping, Essex and the Britannia International in Canary Wharf, where several demonstrations have been held.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday, Prof Andrews weighed into the nationwide debate, telling hosts Adil Ray and Kate Garraway that the history of the flag has always been problematic and 'represents racism'.

Who sold the slaves to the Brits?

"They have no one to blame but themselves."

"When the foreigners finally get total control of all the government, national and local, they will change the flag, depose the royals and erect minarets in Piccadilly

We're not quite as far gone as the UK, but the same could be said for the "Good Old U.S. of A." What's happening in N.Y. City, Minnesota and Michigan is a good indication of that... :(

It seems no one of real authority is willing to admit the fact that islam has declared war on the entire western world. And islam has come to the realization that, as long as they don't us guns while they're invading our nations, no one will stop them.

We're perfectly willing to give them what we would stomp them to death for trying to take. It's kind'a crazy, eh?

Way back in the Stone Age, I took ‘Comparative Religions’ in college as an elective.

What I learned about Islam then, I knew this would be happening now............

He is definitely very triggered. I would argue the British brought civilization to most of those places. So how about a thank you?
