Full title: Family say they have been forced to close their cafe after complaints over the Union Jack flags they stuck in their fry-ups

A family cafe is being forced to close down after the owners were repeatedly abused and called 'racist' - all because they put Union Jack and England flags in their food.

Tiny toothpicks with the flags have been inserted in fry up's since Cafe 164 opened in Hornchurch, east London, in 2016.

But Carol Brown and daughter Candy Merrett faced a wave of abuse - mainly from people who had never eaten there, recently.

...

On Thursday, Candy said she had received so much abuse on social media over the the novelty flags she will close the London themed cafe at the end of the month.

Sorry, I don’t have one. But it was discussed here on FR.

If you find the flag of the country you have emigrated to, to be offensive; then, go back to your homeland. The people in Great Britain have every right to fly THEIR country's flag -- IN BRITAIN!.

I am so tired of this nonsense. They flee their 3rd World hell holes, come to a Western Culture country, partake of their welfare payments and free education/health care etc. Then bitch and moan about the native people of said country, flying their OWN flag. No more, no more. If your country is so great -- go back to it!

These owners are NOT being forced to close. They are choosing to close. Big difference.

If you’re not willing to fight for what you believe in, not too many others are going to be fighting on your behalf.

John and Paul? They’d probably say:

Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the west behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia’s always on my my my my my my my my my mind
I’m back in the USSR
You don’t know how lucky you are, boys
Back in the USSR

That picture is why there is no overwhleming glut of British cooking shows or specialty restaurants.

“Maybe she can reopen in Wales.”

Ha! So that overcooking all foods is not a myth after all.

Global socialists/communists are pushing hard. It’s 1917 again. We must fight back and in a in your face physically willingness manner. Otherwise they will give you a train ticket.

Wikipedia: The traditional full English breakfast includes bacon (traditionally back bacon), fried, poached or scrambled eggs, fried or grilled tomatoes, fried mushrooms, fried bread or buttered toast, and sausages (also called "bangers"). Black pudding and baked beans are also often included.

The Queen should pay that place a visit and show her support, right away.

Guarantee you President Trump would, if the same thing were happening here. Its called leadership.

[Seruzawa]

I’ll bet there’s more to this. This doesn’t pass the smell test.

That's not the English flag. This is:

As long as that is gravy in the cup not coffee.

I believe that's tea...
