Disgusting. Moronic police. The shopkeeper and local people should fight this.
Is Wales no longer part of GB?
Agreed. I’d tell the officer politely to sod off. Then let him or her decide their course of action.
As an aside I bet he sells out of these shirts before close of business Monday.
And Great Britain/Britain/UK and England are not the same thing!.
Britain/UK is a state made up of England, Wales, Scotland and NI. They are countries in their own right within a larger state/union.
“And Great Britain/Britain/UK and England are not the same thing!.”
What’s the difference? I seriously don’t know. Aren’t they all subject to laws passed by the British parliament? If this gentleman were arrested who would ultimately be prosecuting him? If he appealed to the highest court in the land what court would that be?
1—See above, lol.
2—Yes, although NI, Wales and Scotland all have their own parliaments or assemblies to deal with internal policy and laws.
3—He’d be up in front of a Welsh court, which runs on English law (Scotland and NI have their own legal systems, Wales dosent).
4—The new Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, which can supercede Scottish, English and NI law. It runs on legal principles of all three systems.
I dont believe the police actually junked it.
Idiotic, but I believe reversed.
So ultimately it’s British law that controls then. Correct?
The Supreme Court is only used in a tiny amount of cases. Almost all criminal/legal cases will be dealt with by the ‘regional’ laws. Also the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man have their own legal systems.
Thank you for the education, sir.
No problem, I am always happy to answer any UK question, from history to film, laws to sport. IF I can answer them, lol.
suicide is NOT painless
If it were not for us. You would be speaking German today.But with the way England has wasted it’s freedom. Might have been a better out come.
America helped Britain, and we thank you for it, but this ‘saved’/’if not for us...’ nonsense is bad history and insults those who (especially British) fought and died in WW2.
Do you honestly believe Briton could have beaten Nazi Germany without direct U.S. intervention?
Better take that flag down as it could be seen as inciting racial hatred < /sarc>
