Offensive England Flags

[Lee]

I'm not one to listen to the sort of tripe that comes out of the Daily Mail, but I now have hard evidence that this is going on and i'm literally boiling with rage.

One of Hayleys work mates was turned away from a nightclub last night because he was wearing an england shirt due it possibly being offensive (was nothing to do with dress code, this is yate... there IS no dress code ), and then later on today she was in the pub and the landlord showed her a letter he'd recieved from the council telling him not to hang england flags outside his pub due to causing possible offense. Thankfully he screwed it up and threw it in the bin, and I hope other publicans do the same.

How on earth do the government expect to sort out racism whilst doing things like that? Ive never had a huge opinion on immigration etc, but after seeing this absolute rhubarb for my own eyes even I want them out, and they probably arn't even offended by england flags at all. Its just stupid old burgers sat on the council thining that being proud to be english is offensive!

Now I, like probably most of you, hate the wnaker flags that people have on their cars during the world cup, but i'm going out tomorrow and buying a **** load of them for the van (and for the loonaque) and I may even go as far as sticking a poster in the back window of the van saying something along the lines of 'Do my flags offend you? ..... Good!'.

Dunno what the fascination is with all this flag business. What is the problem with people showing the flag of their nation/country/who they support?

As long as no one burns one then I'm sure things will stay peacefull.

Unfortunately, its the Muslims. They find crosses offensive according to the council. Obviously not all muslims, i would imagine its the same radical group who find flying a plane full of people into a building un-offensive.

I'm English. I don't need to stick multiple flags on my car to show my patriotism.

Mind you, I couldn't give a flying wombat's liver about the world cup. Only that I hope the USA beat us

Actually its not; whenever you see people ranting on about racism it always seems to be middle aged white people. Its like some form of self harm perhaps.

Im the same tbh, its just the principal of it. As i said, i've read about things like this in the paper and never believed it, but now seeing it for real makes me angry as fook.

Be it the muslims themselves, or the duffers on the council, they are the reason OR the reason put forward for the cross being offensive.

I said before, if i could afford to buy an england football shirt i would, and o would wear the fooker to work and everyday for as long as needed, i think we should simply have a 'live by our rules/laws, or fook off' sign on our door!
