The England flag

[Beefsteak 305]

I've just read on face book that people are having to remove England flags from their houses in Nottingham (Clifton too) over Health and Safety issues, there's something about a 70 year old woman that has been told to remove one, has anybody else heard anything??

(That's the only details I have so far)

I've just found this:-

The way it was reading on facebook was that it was all over Nottingham!!

Note the "across Sturgeon Avenue..." bit - I could certainly see a situation where that could be dangerous.

was/is a bit OTT, mind you the council only had to wait till June 28th, they'll be took down by then!

The Council say it is illegal to put things on lamp posts.

I had an "invitation" on Facebook, that at first glimpse looked as if it was a fact that England shirts and flags would not be allowed to be worn, or flown.

On "Googling" it, it was total cobblers, just some weird person/people putting "spin" on a situation, to make it look as if the Asian population had complained about it, which was not factual.

I'm afraid that there are a few people who voted in a certain way, who are responsible for this.

That's disconcerting. Probably an exceptional member of the so called 'English Defence League' (exceptional because he/she has managed to lift their knuckles from the floor, onto a computer keyboard). Personally, I like to remind them wherever possible that St George was from Turkey and his mum was a Palestinian

There's so much BS and faux-outrage on this topic of flag-removal, especially from DailyMail-Land and from the mainstream media in general that I think it's just best to completely ignore it. Most people don't seem to know what the flag represents anyway and would be horrified/appalled if they witnessed the things that are done in the name of this State (1.3 million dead Iraqi's anyone?)

My wife has an aversion to any pub flying an England (St George) flag, (then again she is Scottish, lol) but her impression is it will be full of shaved head violent footie fans
