View Full Version : Offensive England Flags
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 lol), 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 think that takes the utter pi$$, They wont tell any forigners (sp) to take down there home flags will they, stuff like that really pi$$'s me off.
But then again it is and english flag lol ........................tis a joke dont take it serious.
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 lol

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.
its simple, you come here, you live by our rules and customs etc. you dont like it, gtfo.

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!

All legislation like this does is make the British public MORE racist.
I would bet money on normal respectable muslim (or any other for that matter) immigrants wishing the council would stop all this crap because all it does is breed more ignorance. How many meatheads are going to go out and smash a few peoples heads in just because they think anyone who isn't white wants to ban the flag?
If we went to pakistan/iraq/afghan etc (and it was safe to do so) I'm pretty sure we would have to live by their laws and life style. If only the UK grew the balls the Australian prime minister has.

Amen to that!
A pub round our way has a england flag painted right across the front of it lol
IMO, if you dont like us hanging flags to support our country, then hop on your camel and **** off home out of our country! :D

Hate to throw a spanner in the works but it's bollocks, The government and police have stated that nothing is offensive about england flags.
It's all rumours to promote anger against other races by the BNP or similar.
Don't get drawn into it and do some simple research before you pop it on a widely used forum otherwise your no better than the racist small minded waste of a white skin that started the rumours or the landlord that chose exerts from the letter to create a stir/make him look better than the law/coloured people.

Well she saw the letter for her own eyes, she's not stupid and knows an official letter when she sees it, and she's got no reason to lie to me Tom.
And this post is not against immigrants, its against the council who create the legislation in the first place.

It's always the case, a small group of people will start a fight coz they lost a match or something and can't take it so they start a fight. Simples.
back a good few years ago when the whole flga craze hit the UK and everyone stuck up their flag on there cars/homes etc my bro, dad and I were stopped by the feds to take down our flag (Turkish) coz it may cause offence. It was ridiculous but what can you do?
How boring and colourless would the world sup be if supported actually at the stadiums weren't allowed to take along their flag? We may aswell remove flags off the internet and in books.
DP you really have to show a flag to start a fight, if some :tosser: wnats to start a fight then I'm sure he can without him needing to see a symbol and colours on a synthtic fibre cloth.
Exactly as you said Lee, our own worst enemy is our own bloody government, they pander to the expected wishes of anyone and everyone in this country apart from the white people, so although the anger towards foriegners in our country is kind of correct, it is misplaced anger!

I've seen the letter and read it word for word as my housemate works in a hotel with a licensed bar and a pub attached. (renound for trouble drugs and hookers and gangs. lol)
It's a generic blanket letter to all licensed premises stating the best way to deal with possible trouble, emergency contacts etc and to keep an eye on shirts with matching names, etc etc gangs and all that boll**ks and also if your premesis is a trouble hot spots (where drink is stupidly cheap etc etc) it advises you don't overly advertise the matches are shown as if you sell cheap beer are in a rough area and are showing the world cup your asking for trouble....

TBH if I ever got a letter form a council saying it was illegal to put up a flag, I'd be ringing up asking why? It's silly if a council needs to resort to that type of activity.
They've got nothing better to do, probably trying to justify next years A4 paper budget.

That's understabdable but a shame that it has to be done that way. I'd much rather let people in but soon as some fool starts something kick him out.
No, our own worst enemy is our media. Namely, the newspapers.
Tom's link summed it up perfectly
The advice sparked newspaper stories
Bang. Barry and Barrietta Chav are all too easily manipulated by the likes of the Sun, Daily Mail etc.

Its not there country. They wanna live here, they should have to follow our rules.
You would be killed if you went over there and built a chruch and started telling them off for doing what they do.
If you dont like where you live, leave!
It was headed paper from Yate council, and the words 'Please do not display a st-georges cross' was clearly typed in black ink. I know because I was just as sceptical when she told me.
TBH I think even sending the below letter to a pub in a rough area is just as laughable. Would you tell a bloke who works in a zoo to look out for the lions? :roll:

Did the letter come from yate council?, and did it say 'Please do not display the st Georges cross'? If it didn't, then you have NOT seen the same letter. This letter was not a national release, it was a letter from the local council.

Same with most laws. Ive ranted about the mobile phone law in cars before. I totally agree that people shouldnt talk on their handset when driving at motorway speeds or in the town, but because of the blanket ban I can get 3 points and a fine if im sat in stationary traffic with the handbrake on and I quickly check my phone for texts.
Smoking ban is another one. Over here we cant have a sensible ban like on the continent where food pubs have no smoking, but drinking pubs have smoking sections with decent air extraction (bar i was in in germany there were about 20 of us smoking and in the non smoking half of the bar you couldn't even smell it, let alone see any smoke). Oh no, over here we have to ban smoking ANYWHERE that has more than one side on it with a roof. SO that includes bus shelters that just have a roof and a back part. Stupid.
you have bus shelters? christ most round here have been burnt/crashed into/ stolen

Or its offensive.
I swear if someone tells me to take England flags down at work because of offensiveness etc they will be told to take a running jump.

I think you're missing the point. Immigrants probably dont find these things offensive at all, the old farts in charge however, think they do.
Really??
I only heard of polish & other eastern European complaints about these. Actually read in the paper an eastern European bus driver kicked off a mum and baby because the baby was wearing an England baby gro. Said he found it offensive, they rest of the passengers piped up and he let them on in the end.

I would have chinned the racist motherfcuker.
Discrimination against the origin of people that OWN the country he now lives in! Wheres the justice in that?!
Wont be long before the Poppy day appeals get banned then aswell I suppose.....
I hate it when people talk about Muslims as if its a race or nationality.
There is MANY countries that follow the religion, each have their own traditions and customs.
Now you might be thinking, errrr what difference does that make? Well it does, some of the people take the piss and other live a normal life, you have analyse whos who.

I have an england flag in the old passenger window of the saloon, the only reason I got one is for added chavness.
My local council obviously don't care about the flags, there is a BnB round the corner from my house and the whole front of it has been painted with the saint georges cross. It not a small place either.

IMHO, Religion is no more then a downward spiral into ethnic hatred. But having to forget where you came from, and letting some nobody pull your pants down & expliot that, well, nobody like a spoil sport do they!!!

if the muslims or any other gender dont like it they can all just.
F.R.O.
if the muslims or any other gender...
eeeeeeerrrm lol
Qeustion....
If I called my local council & informed them that the flag being displayed at a local religious place of worship was "offensive", ie not the same religion as my own, what do you think would happen?

They'd laugh, then tell you to fcuk off. Simples.
^ Nothing, as you being offended their flag would offend the flag waving minorities. lol
This is all one big P1ss take. i 100% agree with those that just want US and our traditions and customs to come first in OUR country. How that was ever viewed as even remotely racist is beyond me. Every other civilised coutry does it!
People say most muslims etc (yeah I will generalise them like the majority do with us) aren't offended by us and want to intergrate with Btitish society. That must be why they set up their own areas in towns and cities with their own shops/schools etc that are basically a no-go area for us!
Even the big nosed kikes do it in Newcastle. I still use 'their' streets though just cos I think i should be allowed to! lol Oy gavolt! lol
LMAO @ gender ^ :d
youd be arrested for racially motivated hate crimes....
yeah,or a racially aggravated section 5 public order offence no doubt
I got done for being in Jewville and was told I wasn't allowed back by the Police. lol All because one of the t0ssers stepped out in front of the car and I blasted the horn at him, he swung for the car with his umbrella and a discussion about respecting my property and following the highway code soon followed. lol

The way his country is going on these days is a disgrace.
Im totally ashamed to be from here.
Years ago i wouldnt of been.

Exactly.
But, if I was a believer in a non specific yet non British faith, it wouldnt be frowned upon.
Which leads me to my previous statement of...
IMHO, Religion is no more then a downward spiral into ethnic hatred
I rest my case.

tbf **** the immigrants im not racist but could you imagine a group of christians moving to one of there countries and being allowed to do what they get away with here no fecking way we would have to live by there rules and cultures and if they want to come here they should live by ours, i have no problem with minorities flying there flags so whats there problem, and alot of imigrants have businesses in town such as take aways etc and they all fly the england flag they realize its good for business, its just political correctness gone mad, i have had an england shirt for 2 years never warn still in the packet unwanted prezzi, and after hearing this dross i got it out the packet last week and war it for the warm up match and will be wearing it throughouut the tournement now feck em
you lot are amazing........
the reason so many immigrants are here is because after WW2, this country needed a workforce, desperately & put the call out to the 'commonwealth'...and all people prefer to keep within their comfort zone, be it race, religion, footy team, family group etc.....
the only people getting their blood up is the few people who can be bothered to get upset...
our flag will be put up for the world cup, and i will enjoy any conversation with anyone who wants to call me offensive.... i live 5 miles from the centre of england, and i will argue my corner... ps. the family in our street who put up the most flags & for that matter, xmas lights are a mixed race white/indian family......
