"What's the world coming to when you can't show you support the national team without fear of casuing offence?'
Do something about it then if you're that fucking oppressed.

councils have been made to take out health and safety risk assesments before flying flags - taxis with those little flags are against health and safety
even cameron wished good luck to england from all of all parliment regardless of where the individual seats are

A joke. Plain and simple. Council's etc stirring up racism with their pathetic rules, sucking up to a handful of extremists yet at the same time brainwashing the more gullible of us that people of different cultures and backgrounds take offence to the st georges cross. They don't. The powers that be are to blame for the growing rise in bad attitude towards normal muslims etc. They will have blood on their hands.

It's a football tournament ffs, people wave flags! |

Should be able to wave your flag whenever you want in your own country.
Not just for football
since when has pride in your country been a criminal offence?

Vive la paix Correct and in fact the rule was introduced because someone complained about someone flying an irish flag - I must have missed the threads on rivals saying how this was a disgrace ;D Anyway if these workers felt that strongly they could surely have chosen to either strike at some point over the last 7 years about it or ignore it just like most people on here do about their companies internet usage policy ;D |

How is it racist to show your support for a team that has a significant black representation amongst it's ranks?
Decisions like this cause racial tension...NOT a little plastic flag.
Would I be offended if I worked in, say, Poland and they were displaying their flag in their own country? No.

"But in 2003, Bolton At Home employees were prohibited from displaying national flags and stickers on their cars following a complaint about an Irish flag on a caretaker's van."
Sounds like all flags are banned by them. A bit of a nothing story really.

Muslims are easily offended by english flags, women wearing proper clothes and english people who live in Bradford, however the worst insult of all is when you say their bomb is not powerful enough to blow up a train station, that really gets them going! |

These dog shit stories are pissing me off now, the workers haven't been able to put the flag of any country on their cars while they are at work since 2003 when somebody complained that the Irish flag wasn't a good advert for their equality policy... it's not the 'flying an English flag is racist' story that they are trying to put it across as, the only reason it is relevant today is because the flag reminder was amongst the usual... 'don't check world cup results on the company phone' rules email.
I'm not blaming the council for the growing tension between the more gullible readers and the apparently offended immigrants... I blame these shit newspapers and the gullible readers.
