Britain has been sucking up to Islamists for decades.
The chickens are coming home to roost...

Following threats by extremist Islamic group, several corporations, chain of pubs ban England flag
Following warnings by extremist Islamic group al-Muhajiroun, in which the group said that the red cross in the England flag symbolizes the 'blood thirsty crusaders' and the occupation of Muslims, some of the largest companies in England have ordered their workers not to wave the flags.
The flag has recently appeared in England on everything from bikinis to cars, and sold in endless versions in stores.
But the Islamic protest forced some corporations, such as cable companies NTL, Heathrow airport in London, and even the Drivers and Vehicles Licensing Agency to ban the flag in every form due to fears from reactions of Muslims.
The Sun tabloid newspaper has in recent days launched a campaign to bring back the flag, and has published a blacklist of companies preventing their workers from expressing their patriotism at work.
The Sun said that a large pub network has banned drinkers from entering with symbols of the national team.
The hero of the day is a two year-old toddler, who was thrown out with his parents from Leicester, because he wore the England team's uniform.

Umm, look at Page 3 perhaps :)
Want a wakeup call on this deal ? Fly out of Minneapolis airport sometime. They've taken over every kiosk and coffee shop in the building. Outside, the ragheads run the cab service and their women wear much the same as these women. Frightening !
The little plant is precious.
wtf
Why don't they hand over the keys to the country now...they have surrendered anyway....
Hope Lord Nelson was a soccer fan.

Before moving to the US, I lived in Leicester for 15 years. The city is full of Indians and Pakistanis. They were attracted to Leicester because of the abundance of jobs in light industry. Leicester is the hosiery and clothing capital of the UK and the work suits the usually small in stature Asians.
Folks co-existed in reasonable harmony. This was twenty years ago. No doubt it has changed today - after 9/11.
I thought you hated Britain?
Sir Winston Churchill is quoted as saying that, appeasers feed the crocodile, in the hope that it will eat them last.
What these fools do, or not do, is realise that things can only go downhill from then on. Anyone who has carefully studied the attitudes of virtually any "minority", should know the first demand does not stop there.
The decendants of the appeasers, may one day line up to perform menial tasks. Such is the lot of those who live under that kind of Islamic militancy.
Something has to give- else oblivion follows.
You mean, don't fly this flag?
yeah, Thought that the islamic green went nicely with the crescent moon. Sorta dresses the place up in case the lord of the flies comes to visit his subjects
This is a joke, right? Please tell me this is just the media making stuff up.
If this is true, the Brits are surrendering and I just can't imagine them doing a thing like that.
Well, the really best part is that when making the daily offerings, they're always pointed to Mekkah. That's right, really, don't need no GPS, compass or nothing else.

Looks like the issue is in doubt.
Not for long. He came back as Prime Minister in 1951 until his resignation in 1955.
It was during his time out of office that he made his famous Iron Curtain speech in Fulton, Mo.
