‘Stand against this… leave it alone’, rants Astrid Wett as sexiest Chelsea fan wades into ‘woke’ England kit debate

ASTRID WETT has vowed to protest against the new England kit until Nike change it.

The outspoken Chelsea fan forked out to buy the new home shirt, but has urged others not to.

In a video posted to her army of X followers, Astrid ranted that fans should show that they are "proud to be English".

The adult star fumed: "I've just bought the new England shirt right... it was £125! What the f***?

"I don't even need to mention the flag. We should stand against buying this.

"We should show that we are not woke and we are proud to be English.

"Don't change our flag! Leave it alone!

"I will be protesting against this until they change it. Nike, I await your response."

Astrid is the latest England fan to have shown outrage over Nike's decision to alter the St George's Cross.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak led the furore, saying: "When it comes to our national flags, we shouldn’t mess with them because they’re a source of pride, identity, who we are, and they’re perfect as they are."

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer told The Sun's Harry Cole: "I'm a big football fan, I go to England games, men, women's games.

"And the flag is used by everybody, it's unifying, it doesn't need to change.

"We just need to be proud of it. So I think they should just reconsider this and change it back."

While a host of football icons voiced their own displeasure, including Harry Redknapp, David Seaman and Peter Shilton.

Asked about the shirt in his press conference ahead of tonight's clash with Brazil, Gareth Southgate said: "I don't know if the debate is about the St George flag needing to be on the England shirt because obviously it has not always been.

"I think the most important thing that has to be on our shirt is the Three Lions. It's our iconic symbol.

"It's what distinguishes us from football teams around the world and England rugby and England cricket.

"I suppose what you're really asking is should we be tampering with the cross of St George, in my head if it's not a red cross and white background then it's not the cross of St George.

"It's a hard question to answer. It's presumably some artistic take on [the flag] which I'm not creative enough to understand."

FA chiefs are reportedly set to overhaul the approval process of future kits following the backlash.
