WTF?

England afraid to fly its own flag



Following threats by extremist Islamic group, several corporations, chain of pubs ban England flag

Following warnings by extremist Islamic group al-Muhajiroun, in which the group said that the red cross in the England flag symbolizes the 'blood thirsty crusaders' and the occupation of Muslims, some of the largest companies in England have ordered their workers not to wave the flags.


The flag has recently appeared in England on everything from bikinis to cars, and sold in endless versions in stores.



But the Islamic protest forced some corporations, such as cable companies NTL, and even the Drivers and Vehicles Licensing Agency to ban the flag in every form due to fears from reactions of Muslims.


The Sun tabloid newspaper has in recent days launched a campaign to bring back the flag, and has published a blacklist of companies preventing their workers from expressing their patriotism at work.


The Sun said that a large pub network has banned drinkers from entering with symbols of the national team.


The hero of the day is a two year-old toddler, who was thrown out with his parents from Leicester, because he wore the England team's uniform.

To be blunt, this sounds like bullshit to me. However it's getting alot of play in certain areas and I'm getting tired of seeing it. Given the number of British citizens on the board I decided I post this up and see if this is what I think it is, a wild net rumor.

Just so I'm sure, no corp or pub in your area has banned displaying the Union Jack then?

I'm sorry? But why the fuck is the world seemingly pandering to the Muslim assholes?

Note, I dont mean all Muslims, I mean the stupid Muslim assholes who think they are to godly to not be listened to or offended.

For the World Cup, and when England is playing; it's the St. Georges Cross, and not to my knowledge. They have banned football shirts of a team other than England in some cases IIRC, though, causes arguments among rival teams, and you know what happens then.

Muslims themselves are displaying the flag, to be honest, except in the instances where they're supporting another team. I'm not sure about down south, though, nearer London, perhaps Dartzap could fill in that blank.
