[tezza86]

A St. George's flag can be displayed; on the other hand if it has writing on it, it counts as an advertisement and legally cannot.

 

Many 'flags' sold by the shops are actually adverts, in that they have the word "ENGLAND" written across them and are therefore illegal to display in public, unless you have a licence. I've never understood why manufacturers insist on doing that when a plain flag would be perfectly legal.

 

What's more, even having said all that, I don't know that the police would actually go around making people take them down.

I don't see how having the word England could be construed as advertising
