There is alot of truth in these kind of things.

I used to work for wetherspoons in piccadilly gardens for about 3 years, every st georges day the police had written to our head office saying that flags and all the bits and bobs about celebrating being english should be kept to a absolute minimum. The bouncers was also told to refuse people wearing england shirts from my managers who had been told by head office.

Its not shite, Its quitely happening but its not making national news or papers because people would kick off big time but we wouldnt want that would we.

St Georges day is a day sadly that is used by the dregs of society to highlight the elements of British society that a tiny minority want to hold onto.

Everyone knows that Witherspoons is where the dregs of society drink and if there is ever going to be trouble that’s where to find it.

Sounds sensible advice to me.

The point of not wanting to make the papers is crap as well, read any of the newspapers which are favourites of middle class ex pats like yourself who want to read that society has gone to hell since your departure and every week there will be one story about banning Christmas or not being able to fly the flag. Normally when the authorities or people in question are given the right of reply you will find out is a media led frenzy over nothing.

Not sure what you are getting at with this but doesn't every event (for whatever) held around the world bring out the dregs? Or do you mean anyone that that enjoys ST Georges day is a dreg?

I think I stated that it's a tiny minority.

[Kiss_The_Goat]

BNP propaganda?

say no more

Exactly!

Don't rise to it! Its a total nonsense and clearly not true!! Banning wearing football shirts? Its ridiculous. Come on people, you're more intelligent than to fall for blatant BNP bullshit like this.... I hope?!!!!!!

[Vhero]

Shit stirring by the BNP. Trust me the Police have better things to do then tell football fans not to wear England shirts. Shocked that people are sucked it by it. Utter bollocks!!!

This plus it's not just BNP its people trying to get others to join there fucking groups on facebook they will say anything to get you to join the group. To what end I dunno.

Unless something is written that goes with their agendas....then thats not a lie.

Exactly my thoughts, but like you say- its frightening how many get sucked into such shit !! .. If this was true, it would be all over the papers .If it is BNP propaganda, Im surprised they didnt do it before the elections. Personally , I think this is just something that has spread from facebook.

The Police have no powers to do it.

[Sister of fu]

The Police have no powers to do it.

And have not been told to do it...just another form of Police bashing and givng people a chance to have a go at something that does not exist.

Even though this is clearly bogus, I find it quite amusing that people react to it and even consider it to be real.
It's the complete opposite in Holland. In about a week and a half my whole street and neighbourhood will be completely covered with orange flags, pennants, lion heads, you name it. Since about a month back almost all stores have campaigns where you get crazy orange hats, t-shirts or horns for free or for a reduced price if when buying something (or when saving enough bonus points). The days Holland are playing 75% of the population will be wearing orange. if you're in a pub 95%.

i think there is some truth in this story, i did see a story in the press. A landlord from a pub in Croydon said he had received a letter from the local police asking him to deter fans fromn wearing the shirts. It wasnt because it offended anyone but because if England win or lose fans have a habit of kicking off after a skinful and taking it out on those deemed non English.

There's probably some truth to this. When England got knocked out by Portugal in 2006, a Spanish restaraunt was ransacked there. I remember getting a text about it after my graduation ceremony. Although the banning of wearing shirts will do little to affect the mentality behind this, it will possibly deter people from congregating.

Surely if it was to prevent offending 'non-Brits' (by which I assume the implied demographic is 'conservative Muslims'), then we'd be closing the pubs and banning drinking?
