HeadingNorth Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I don't see how having the word England could be construed as advertising I didn't understand it myself. It's a bizarre outcome, and surely not what the law was intended to achieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azazel666 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 You know it does have an element of truth to it...........the police(although specifically The Met to my knowledge)have recommended pubs and clubs do bar England shirts!! I don't think a Facebook protest is that rediculous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*_ash_* Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 It's a scary reminder of how the media [who are probably controlled by the gov] have complete control over so much of the population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matsalleh Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I don't see how having the word England could be construed as advertising Would that also apply to the label stating made in China? Surely that is more blatantly advertising than the word England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Why not just stop being friends with anyone stupid enough to put that kind of thing in their status. Problem solved IRL as well as on facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the "made in.." labels are legally required. Maybe they're not allowed to be more than so big, or something. It's a silly rule, but some places have been forced to take down flags because of it in the past. Plain flags are okay, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoatwobbler Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Ever thought about doing a mickey-take of a status update by way of retort. For example, here's one that I had up as a FB status update last week Please put this as your status if you know or are related to someone killed on the Death Star. My wish for 2010 is that people will understand that the Rebel Alliance is a band of terrorist scum. The Empire only wants to bring peace to the galaxy but these rebels continue to kill our brave brothers in white. 93% won't ...copy...and paste this. Will you make this your status for one day? Now that's my kind of status update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
