Following on from this.............http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=337813
I was in Wales at the weekend and i was only reading in the paper last week how a man was told to remove a St George's Cross from his house as they had recieved "complaints"
Whilst wondering around Wales i couldnt not help but notice the amount of Welsh flags flying high - i dont mean on residental but on flag poles of offices, and other points of interest. They are very proud of their country.
It upsets me we cant celebrate "ENGLAND" and businesses would no doubt be told to remove any St George's cross. Tbh i cant even remember the last time i saw a St George's cross flying from anything! (bar the world cup which doesnt really count)
It saddens me greatly. Im proud to be English and i feel as if i cant even mention the world or fly the flag anymore - that is wrong.

TBH, what could they do if you refused to take it down? I fairly sure its not against the law to fly you own flag.
Its a shame that it has come to this, its fucking stupid when you cant fly our own flag. Fucking hate the immigrant basatrds! They wanna live here? Then they accept our culture!

These people who deem everything to be racist should spend a few mins with someone from the Deep American South. Was a guy the other day at a car boot sale from Alabama talking to us, comes out with this:
"Yeah, you know, when niggers die back home, we don't bury em, just skin em an use em as wetsuits..."
That's racist. St George's flag is not.

I remember just after the last world cup when EVERYONE had the St. George's cross flags, my uncle left his flag on his car ariel and people said "the world cup is over now, take it off".  Fucking thick football 'fans', its to celebrate England as a country, Not what they do in the world cup.

I can't remember, but it wasnt racist
He then told us about how he used to put on rollerskates and roll through "niggertown" wearing a white sheet, oh, and the time he stuck a burning cross in a black family's front garden... they'd moved out the next morning.

But anyway, it's besides the point. I was saying that do-gooding fools over here are calling even the most mundane everyday things racist as 90% of it has been stamped out.
