Good idea - this is exactly the sort of story that gets local papers excited.

Personally England flags flying from the car aren't my cup of tea, but then this should be a free country and if I wanted to I should be allowed to fly them.

I think this PC nonsense has now become self-sustaining. People in authority are petrified of offending anyone, and don't bother asking those who might be offended whether something bothers them or not.

If you tried to stop us displaying our flag in Wales then you'd have a riot on your hands. There are no racist or extreme nationalist connotations with it as a result - you'll see plenty of car stickers and clothing with it on and nobody is remotely bothered. It's a simple case of saying "I'm proud of my homeland and I'm flying my flag". I would put one on the end of my CB aerial if I thought it'd stay attached and intact for any length of time!  :lol:

The English need to reclaim their flag as at the moment it has been stolen by football hooligans and fascist morons. For many years there seems to have been a media-led attitude of embarrassment (I've heard it called a "cultural cringe"), which led to a situation where your flag is seen as a symbol of nationalism rather than patriotism.

It can be done. As may be expected Germans have been very dubious about waving flags for the past few decades, even though the Bundesrepublik has done everything humanly possible to atone for the Nazi era and in any case it's a completely different flag. However at the last world cup there were hordes of cheering supporters draped with the current one. They've shaken off the connotations and reclaimed it.

It makes me think what am I doin here to be honest 
what I see in this country and all I can see is it Bein ruled with a bunch of people who are goin to bend over backwards for imigrans
let the musliam comunaty build as many mosques as they want give them 100% grants to build them
but when the church needs a new roof it's no grant and buy it yourself 
but if I try to get planning permition to put a church steaple on my house it would get rejected
if I tryed to put a copper dome on my house n said I were muslem it would get passed this is because they don't want too UPSET people 
But it's ok to upset someone like me who works like a mad man to buy a house who then pays his rates at some silly figer tax his car insure it mot it and for what so some uninsured driver can hit it then to be told to clame off my own insurance while the guy that hit me gets a slap on the wrist it's wrong
so in my eyes this country rips off and upsets any patritic guy or girl who wants to fly the st georges cross

Rant over

Surely the head IS being racist towards your wife??? for being English.

Is she English? Then she has the right to support her country.

If any flag of any country is displayed anywhere in the school, she will be entitled to have it removed under the heads law, ie its offensive.And agree with above get in touch with the papers.

This is a disgrace to the English; the Scots, Welsh, Irish fly their own nations flag. The English tend to use the union jack, which is the combined of the afore mentioned ie Great Britain (British).

Im English and proud of it, the Scots, Welsh and Irish do not say they are British do they!!!!!!!! They are proud to say where they are from but the English want to be British.

I personally fill in "whats your nationality" forms with English, crossing out British. I live in England which is part of Great Britain (UK), which in turn is part of Europe.

BRING BACK BEHEADING FOR TREASON. and put the head of the school first in line.

There i feel better for that :-#

Make St.Georges day a bank holiday, and lets start having some pride in this country. God knows weve got nothing else!!!!!!!

The mrs is English if I ever see the head my self I go nuts at him
what I think he is trying to do is keep the piece between the races but there all English just have a different skin colour so what difference does it make it's everybodys flag in the school

When she left school herself about 8 years ago while she were at uni she worked in a nursary
ba ba black sheep became ba ba rainbow sheep
black board became chalk board
but a dry marker board is still called a White board

2 years ago when she started as a trainee teacher it upset her people speaking in hurdu in lessons
so she decided to learn it

a few weeks back we were in asda n a Indian women n my mrs hit sholders n the Indian women said somethin in hurdu to the mrs something like watch were your goin you White cow n then the mrs layed into her in hurdu the womens face were a picture

Had a sticker on the car "please God, save me from your followers".

The boss asked me to remove it. Not surprising as I work in a catholic school  :dance:

but there is quite a few areas in Wales where someone flying English flags on their car would learn that it was a mistake :grin:

its all about ooh lets not upset those who are not english.. actually i think half the time the indigenous people get upset about the whole thing just as much..

but its a bit sad when you drive past a pub today with two massive flags of st george.. with ENGLAND all the way through.. are the clientelle that dumb they have to be reminded which country that flag represents :)

Being a pedant, but, all these red and white flags on cars are not English flags, but the Cross of St George. The true English flag has "lions rampant" on it.
The same applies to Scotland where their supporters actually fly the Cross of St Andrew (Saltire).
The only people who actually do fly a National flag are we Welsh with the Draig Goch/Red Dragon.

And did you know that if you flew the Union Flag without permission you could be prosecuted? (not likely to happen however!!)

For a headmaster to be that ill-informed is a total disgrace.  St George has nothing to do with race other than english knights including crusaders adopted st george as their saint.

Somewhere I have a Powerpoint about the history of st george that was circualted by our school so that we actually knew what we were talking about!

to be told I can't fly the flag of my county is DEFINITELY an insult to me.

I have nothing against people displaying the flag of their choice in front of their house, in a bumper sticker or on the parcel shelf of the car. Those who could be offended could in my honest opinion, go forth and multiply.

However, what I object to are those plastic flags fitted on cars, be them St George's Cross, St Andrew's, the blinking Dragon or the legalize cannabis.

I have no problems with anyone supporting their national teams, but those bloody plastic flags are a danger in themselves. Not only are they dangerous because they have a tendency to become detached on the motorway and fly into the windscreen of the vehicle behind, but it also seems that people flying them drive oblivious of traffic around them (must be the flapping of the flags distracting them)

The other thing I don't understand is that need of making that kind of external display of support for ones country. Surely the mere fact of flying a couple of sq feet of plastic doesn't make one more patriotic or commited to the nation than someone who doesnt fly it.

Just my bit of a rant.

My dads mate had a similar story about the england flag out of his window the other day when he was in rugby.....them fake cops (community support officers) told him to take it from his window as it offends other races and he just plainly turned round to him and told him to go forth and multiply(in harsher words) and said i will take my flag down when they take all their turbans and sari's and whatnot off because that offends him. i personally cant have a flag from mine as they are sliding windows but everything has gone way too far now
.
England needs to stick up for itself and get a backbone, at this moment in time we are run by spineless people who think they know what is best and only listen to themselves and not the general public.

In 2005, I was deployed along with 6,500+ other plods to the G8 summit at Gleneagles.
I decided that as a momento of the deployment, I would design a T shirt logo with the county flag of Norfolk crossed with the St Andrews flag of Scotland. All my fellow plods were keen for it, but the Head Shed got hold of it and banned the idea as it would be seen as racist, as was the displaying of English/Welsh flags on Police wagons heading towards the Border, as it may upset the locals as it may remind them of when Edward Longshanks went to war with them.
I spoke to a mate,who was a cop in Scotland, and he replied with "what a load of s***e!".
This country has got ridiculous. Lets hope the new regime sees sense.

"And did you know that if you flew the Union Flag without permission you could be prosecuted? (not likely to happen however!!) "

Time to go look for those old boxer shorts.. :lol:

Years ago I visited the US and they told me its illegal to make a garment out of the stars and stripes. Drive-by shootings, crack pushers in school playgrounds they could put up with, but wearing a flag- that really wound them up....

I love this country when the Iranians/ Zimbabweans/ whoever burns the stars and stripes and the union flag. Americans demand immediate carpet bombing, while we just shrug and sell them another flag :)
