my mrs just spoke to her mum who works on school buses and she said the schools are not allowing england flags at school or on the buses because it may offend the asian community. She works in rochdale so if any one from that area heard anything?

I dont get it, is the england flag a symbol for racism?

I fucking hate all this 'its going to upset the asians/indians/pakistanis etc' most probably don't give a shit if you fly your flags or wear your shirt but people use it as a cop out and the only people it causes damage to are these communities because you can guarantee some fucking racist idiots will use it as an excuse to carry out attacks on ethnic miniorities

I spoke to a Police Sgt today and he laughed his balls off when i told him about this. For instance GMP have been rated as the 2nd worse Police Force in the UK so i cant see the big boss who is on the verge of losing his job say "hey i know i need to reduce the crime rate in Manchester i will tell my force to go and harrass people wearing England shirts and raising the flag"

Anyway i have seen come on England stickers on first buses and have also seen that Bridgefords the esaste agent have changed their to let/for sale signs to St Georges crosses which also say come on England on them. I imagine my office will have some sort of English bunting of it ( i work in a council office) seems as we had gay rainbow flag bunting on it last week to celerbrate some gayer day thing. (I shocked that i wasnt actually asked to put it up and stand there all day giving out flyers!!)

I live in Prague. Last week the Czechs won the hockey World Cup. There were Czech flags everywhere. People wearing hockey shirts. Singing the national anthem. Speaking Czech to each other. I was so offended. Ing-er-land were not even in the finals. A tall blonde came over to me and wanted to kiss me. I reported her to the Police. How dare these beer-swilling, pork-eating, puck-shooting people celebrate this victory?

Someone should change Carl's username to Carlfeedwithshit he is that fucking gullible whenever it comes to any spiteful anti-PC story that is spewed from right wing parties on a daily basis. Very, very sad.

Some fool down here in Cornwall said that places should fly the St Pirans Cross (black on white, Cornish flag) instead of the standard of St George. I believe Mebyon Kernow (Cornish Independents) swept the board in the elections with about 2,000 votes in total from all of Cornwall's 6 constituencies.

I guess it's the curse of a democracy that these people are firstly given airtime by idiot radio stations and secondly aren't locked away where they belong.
