goodbye my england!
goodbye my england!
The PC Brigade always seem to get offended on someone's behalf - do they ever check that the people they are "defending" are actually offended? I know the muslim family near to my dad's mate (guy with the flag) were embarrassed that he had been asked to take it down in case it "offended" them.
We might be a multi-cultural society, but we're still in Scotland (read England if you prefer) - don't see why we can't just be proud of that without some busybody acting the ****.
</rant>
Dean, hope your dad buys that flag :thumbup1:
Also hope you guys get stuffed in every game, but that's back to the banter :lol:
All banter aside, I reckon you should be able to support your national team (heck, just show that you are patriotic and love your country) without it being taken offensively by a tiny group of people!

Dark Samurai well mate they do look very chavvy lol
Surely you're referring to where you see the flag being displayed, rather than the flag itself ?

An interesting point that was brought up was that you have to have planning permission for some flagpoles, especially if you are flying something other than the national colours (which incidentaly are allowed without question, so there really is no rule, law, etc saying that you can't fly the English flag in England, as Steve keeps pointing out). Some smaller minded individuals misread this as saying that you had to apply for planning permission to fly the national flag, which simply isn't the case. It's the same kind of planning permission (for a 'temporary structure' I believe) that you have to have if you have a motorhome/caravan or a boat on a trailer on your drive.
Quote:Q. Do I need planning permission?Some people just don't get it. This image sums it up quite well:
Under Schedule 1 Class H of the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007, national flags, the flags of the Commonwealth, European Union, the United Nations, English counties and certain saints can be flown without the express consent of local authorities as long as they satisfy the standard conditions for the display of advertisements generally and the conditions and limitations set out within Class H itself.
For saints' flags, the conditions are that they can only be flown in the county with which the saint is associated. This means that the St Piran's flag may be flown freely in Cornwall, but express consent would be required for it to be flown elsewhere in England.
If any of these flags are to be flown no further planning permission is needed for the flag pole, however it may be required if other flags are to be flown.

We have had a long and drawn out discussion about this over on another forum.
