The thing about flags is rubbish started and spread by racists who want to cause trouble, ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzler4 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I dont see why a flag would offend anyone as such, but unfortunately I think because it only seems to be seen when there is football going on it gives the impression of yobs and such. I dont think there would be so much of an issue if it was the union jack. I am by no means a lefty or pc correct but its ludecrous to disallow flags, it really isn't offending anyone.

The Con-Dem coalition will pass the "Dangerous Flags Act" on Thursday. This will make it illegal for anyone gullible enough to believe what they read on Facebook, or in The Daily Mail, to fly the flag of St George. You will also be forced to wear a Burkha for the entire duration of England's participation in the world cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
