al4x Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 There are a few things needed to get this country back on track and Dave showing a bit of national pride is kicking things off nicely, even though my view on people flying England flags from their cars is quite low :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lampwick Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Yes about time too, I started celebrating St Georges Day in a bar I ran about 16 years ago when it wasn't trendy to even own an English St George flag and took a bit of flack from the lefties didn't stop me and never will. I'm English, British and very proud of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperfection Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Im sure these stories where certain faiths are offended by either the St-George cross or Union flag are invented by the tabloids. Everyone has the right to fly their national flag. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone has the right to fly their national flag. I don't think the offence is caused by the flag itself but more to do with its one-time and still lingering association with the National Front. It's taken a while to reclaim it from them and the process is ongoing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danddo Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Good on ya D C. there was an article in our local paper that the wearing of England Shirt's will be banned when England are playing - will be interesting to see what happens. Should add this is whilst in the town !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodp Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I think you'll find you have the legal right to fly an UNADULTERATED English flag at full mast from a flag pole. It (the pole) has to be vertical to 45 deg in order to be legal and, if you comply, no-one can make you take it down, you may however need planning permission for the pole itself. Just another bit of useless information I picked up from somewhere. You may want to check it out before going head to head with the law though.

Norrie Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 About time some of us 'english' folks started showing our support for our mighty little country!Good on David Cameron! LOL, Like the European Championships in 1996,...actually 14 years yesterday..I was at my Bros wedding in Long Eaton near Nottingham, England were playing Tobler...sorry, Switzerland..the reception was upstairs...we heard roaring,...as we both were VERY interested in the game.... we went down to the bar to see what the score was...the roaring was England supporters throwing the dummy out the pram, and pint pots at the TV...after Switzerland drew level......lol, havent seen anything so funny in ages... England did go on to win the group...and did well ...only getting beat in the semi's...on penalties.. BUT, hopefully, they'll do well and go further this time.....

SHOOTEMUP Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 It is legal to have a flag pole on your property but you need planning for any pole attached to your property! I put mine up about a six weeks ago and I fly the union flag and the english flag on it, and f""k ANYONE WHO DONT LIKE IT! Its only been commented/moaned at by my neighbour to some other people but I really expected it as he is welsh! Now I know lots of welsh folk who are salt of the earth and great people but he is the worst sort and insults people to their face in welsh so you know what a T""t he is. He even complained to the council who said it was not their problem and on seeing the local planning chap the other week he said how he liked to see folk being proud of their country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 I'd be buying a blow up sheep and flying it from the flagpole for his benefit, sounds like a proper twit for want of any other word that would get filtered out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
