The Confederate Flag is deeply offensive.

The starting point of this post assumes that you get that the Confederate Flag is deeply offensive and closer to being the symbol of white supremacist terrorists than  holding any other meaning. We clear? If not  this is not the post for you! Have a nice day. 

With that said, of all the ways I expected Midsomer Murders to be wildly offensive, draping Confederate Flags over absolutely everything in a Wild West themed episode was not among them. Holy fucking shit, do the English not know this?

This episode aired in twenty fucking ten!
