Ukip. All discussion here please.

That said, it's only really in the minds of the ex-BNP UKIP supporters that the political parties think flying a British flag is a bad thing. Do we really need them to champion anyone for flying a national flag - it's not exactly an uncommon or unusual thing for someone to do.

 

The Labour Party have several ex BNP elected councillors who defected to Labour and are representing the party on local councils.

 

At least we've moved on from the fake outrage stories that used to claim that the police, or some other official, told them it was illegal to fly the St Georges Cross.

 

Everyone seems to be outraged with the latest incident... Why? VOTES..

Your post has just got me thinking about a story my cousin told me a few years ago. She lives near Sunderland. A few days before St Georges day someone on the Labour controlled council asked the people of Sunderland to be considerate of other religions before they display a St Georges Cross flag.

 

This outraged a lot of people. Someone during the night tied St Georges' flags on some of the lamp posts in the city centre, and a lot of shops displayed them in their windows. My cousin and some of her neighbours had flags flying outside their car windows.

 

I wonder if the Labour controlled Sunderland Council would ask people today to be considerate of other religions before they display a flag?

Sorry, I appear to have been mistaken. We haven't moved on yet.

At least we've stopped pretending that these stories are even vaguely true.

 

An unspecified year in a far away town and an anecdote from a fairly distant relative. Hardly the strongest of evidence.

 

How do you like my avatar, by the way?

I've always flown the flag.

 

I see no reason why racists, xenophobes or bigots should have the flag of my country.

 

I'm not in a hurry to "fly the flag". I'm proud to be British. I just don't see the need to hate other nationalities.

 

Do you think that a Labour supporter shouldn't "fly the flag"?
