Lol this can’t be true....but...

That explains a lot.

Londonistan is coming soon.

“In 2008 St George’s Day parades were banned by local authorities in Bradford and Sandwell in the West Midlands on the grounds they could cause trouble or were ‘unhealthy’ and ‘tribal’.”

Unbelievable!!!

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

This is VERY true. Through the years.....flying the Union Jack has been associated with ‘fascism’ by the Euro-commies. It’s really sad to see. The only time you see it is flying on government buildings....some hotels....and when the Queen is visiting some place.

Coming to a country near you. The commies are trying to do it here, folks. Just be warned.

Anyone who saw the Kaczynski Funeral would agree with me, that Poland should be at the top of the list.

but.....

Wait till the ACLU, People for the American Way, George Soros, and the Justice Sotomayors of this world get their way.

[Steelfish]

An activist and out of control judiciary are already accomplishing this.

Okay, but the article is talking about the English being afraid to fly the flag of England (i.e., St. George's flag), not the Union Jack.

You will see the St George flag en masse this June 13, when we play England at the World Cup.

[dalebert]

I already have friends afraid to fly the flag here in the USA

[Oldexpat]

Funny, but we were in the UK for a week last month and I can’t remember seeing a single flag..other than Govt ones.
It used to be that they were almost used for decoration.

[Frantzie]

St. George’s cross causes the most concern but the Islamo Left in the UK also hates the Union Jack.

[donhunt]

Starting tomorrow I will become even more ‘unhealthy’ and more ‘tribal’.
I can’t wait.

When I watch this advert, I can't help but to work up a tear, thinking, what has happened to England, and what's been lost.

If you haven't seen this before, it's probably the single greatest TV ad I've ever seen.

I remember well ...UK was covered in flags...their history was a big tourist draw....so they really waved the Union Jack.

[Steelfish]

It’s been said that most of the British expats in the US have gone to Santa Monica and they are mostly gays who don’t care a rats tail about flying the Union Jack.

[truthguy]

It seems to me that UK or at least England is a testosterone free zone. Maybe it's because they lost so much of their manhood in WWI and WWII. It just seems to me when you get past Sean Connery, there aren't any icons of manhood left on that island. Yes I'm sure in the absolute sense there are are a few real men left. But not enough.

Real men would not have tolerated what has happened to their island over the past 40 years. Real men would not have tolerated a class of people pledged to destroy their country. Real men would have not tolerated the destruction and mayhem brought to their shores by an uncivilized class of barbarians. Real men would have stopped it.

It's kind of ironic that the toughest character England has had for the past 40 years, is/was a woman.

When you go from Sean Connery to Jude Law as an icon, something is wrong with your civilization.

Half the population was born in Pakistan,Yemen,Nigeria or Jamaica.And folks wonder why there’s a shortage of patriotism?
