England afraid to fly its own flag

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7...258613,00.html


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


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.

Yeah fly it high so bigragu can go and call the ACLU and say you're oppressing him!


Honestly FUCK anyone who brings up the fucking crusades and is offended!

Were they alive then?

Did they go through it?

And it still doesn't matter because they STILL cut people's heads off today just like they did back then...I'm offended, but you're mistaken if you think I'm going to cry to Osama about it!!

[/quote]Lyle's p*ssy is still hurting from his induction into the Klan......You gotta ignore him sometimes....

kind of ironic for followers of a faith that has perpetuated and caused more death and destruction through out the world to demand the removal of any ones flag

A flag comes with a lot of history, good and bad. Noone should be ashamed to fly their flag just because of the bad history that comes with it.

Report the racist remarks to the moderator.....It is unacceptable...why are you sticking your nose into something that has absolutely nothing to do with you... I am expressing my anger with words.....I am shocked that someone would call me a racial slur on this website.... and you would stand by his side and criticize ME INSTEAD OF HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what the hell is you're major malfunction?!?! I bet you make your parents proud supporting racists like Lyle.....

Support Lyle? No...ask Lyle...we almost never see eye to eye especially on politics and race especially but you're being a child about it dragging it into every single topic you post in. You're being the instigator so...well I don't at all agree with him using a racial slur (which I didn't know it was) but you're being a child. It wouldn't be to far fetched to say I don't particulary like Lyle...but I know how to post in the same topic as him without badgering him like a preschooler. I've done enough criticizing of Lyle to last an entire board career, but aside from the wop thing, you're the one in the wrong here.

how about the fact he just called me a dago(dumb/stupid Italian) as well......I didn't start with the namecalling..or badgering...I never do...but i do tend to pour it on once it starts...I might even go a little overboard..I got no beef at all with you...until these last couple of posts I don't think we ever exchanged comments...I might have recieved a sc from you because I was severely slamming Hatton but that's cool...not trying to start anything....just cant take the name calling too well....

::** I've never sc'ed you...it's pointless. And I don't think we ever crossed paths either, I think I actually said some good words about you in the forum shopping thread but it gets a bit ridiculous seeing every other thread taken over you two's petty little argument.

I like Hatton but I'm not really a Hatton fan.

[/quote]well..I guess you're not as bad as I thought..just kidding....got to get back to boxing talk though......

I fly the Welsh flag at every opportunity. I would have thought that the very fact I/we fly these nationalistic flags mean that we support that country/people to the exclusion of all others. I would therefore say that they are NATIONALISTIC rather than racist.

Most people in each country are a certain racial type, so lots of loony lefties immediately seize on this as evidence of racism.

Bunch of nutters if you ask me (and also if you don't!!)

Make up sex :bananasex:

;D

always good

Racial slurs in another topic...man where the hell are they coming from? Just for the record...pom is not a racial slur just incase someone tries to call me on using that word. So poms, fly that flag ;D

...I don't think "racial slur" is the correct nomenclature more "ethnic" but ok caucasian, black, asian, hispanic, and now italian....anyone else want to add a race to the list...oh damn I left off polish

I'm not mocking you for changing the posts, I admit using those names was wrong, I'm sorry but I did not fire the first shot.

I was mocking you for calling it a "racial" slur though...big difference between "race" and "ethnicity".

One is about what you are the other is about where you are from

ever heard of a typo?

you see 5 and 6 are next to each other on your keyboard... see that long strip of numbers in numerical order? :P

How can anyone be patriotic if we cant have a flag that boasts about us murdering and straight up kicking the arse of another nation?

Thats what makes the super powers such as England and America so great, our flags represent the slaughter of another country, Its basically just saying " Remeber that one time when we like destroyed your civilation? yeah we whooped your arse "

You have to be racist to be patriotic. You cant just say your great and no have the muscle to back it up!

Why do you "have to be racist to be patriotic"...Joe Louis was patriotic, Jesse Owens was patriotic...

Ok well maybe not there cause you had a pretyt decent government and good lives back then.

maybe i was in refrence to england more then so, as we dont really have anything to brag about as we have a crap weather and poor government, and we are RULED by a queen, so the only thing we boast about is our battles as everything else is pretty much dull and dreary.

Well those guys were black and were around preCivil Rights and so their lives I am sure were not easy. They loved their country anyways, God bless them.

You mean England's great food is not something you brag about?!?!?! hahahaha

You obvioulsy have no pride in our nation's history or you have over looked anything good... to me the flag represents social, econmic, scientific and industrial pioneering, standing up to the third reich when every other nation was either scared or defeated and the fact that our tiny little Island has achieved so much on a world wide scale. Is any of that racist? it has nothing to do with the colour of our people's skin our their ethnicity and everything to do with the intergrity of our societ and the minds we have aloud to grow and acheive.

maybe closer to the crusades that was what the flag represented but its 2006 Sheps... hine the flag and try and prevent patriotism but what happened 100s of years ago stays that way and if people would stop being so petty it wouldn't matter today, why should it? society has changed and we are different people.

Missy, people don't wave this nations flag any more... they wave the football teams flag... so what if they get an image of david beckham covered in hair gel when they wave it and can't tell the difference between Gazza and winston churchill... :P

Gazza/Churchill ???

Gladly ;)

The queen is nothing but a figurehead and holds no executive powers. In theory she cann still vito an act of parliament, but this a power that in reality she wouild never be able to use

She may "Reign" but she doesn't "Rule"

The Monarchy is just a tourist attraction!!
