England flags

[Lord Shagg-Pyle]

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 :)
