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.

What can we do to support the Sun in this effort?

"... the red cross in the England flag symbolizes the 'blood thirsty crusaders' and the occupation of Muslims..."

And that is a bad thing...how?

Churchill is about to leap out of his grave.

England's about to piss on it.

I wonder if this is even true. If it is, they may as well just install Sharia law now.

Whatever happened to "Never, never, never surrender!"???? This is just depressing.

These people are waaay to angry about any perceived slight to Allah, The Flatulence of One Thousand Black Dogs After Eating Boiled Eggs Be Upon Him.

In the immortal words spoken by Bill Murray:

It might be useful to ask why the UK let all this trash into their lovely island.

[I got the rope]

I've always thought this was a cool flag. I say "splice the main brace" and the hell with pisslam.

Coming to the US soon. We already "can't" fly the confederate flag because the left decided it was racist - oh about ten years ago when the south started going GOP. Now some high schools have been warning students that displaying the US flag is "provacative".

So what's the plan? To replace the cross with the crescent?

In your face muzzies!!

The same might be said about us, given a little time.

Whatever happened to "Never, never, never surrender!"

An ungrateful nation booted Churchill out of office and put England on the road to liberal socialism.
