moon Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 You could speak to then politely, explaining that, far from being a racist symbol the flag represents St. George, a Cappadocian who lived in Palestine, was honoured by the Greeks, the Syrians, fought for the Roman army, was patron saint of Portugal until the eighteenth century and is still today the patron saint of Catalonia as well as England.Then tell them to "**** off. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel=UK= Posted May 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 it's high time that we took it back. The more of us that show it for the right reasons the less of a hold they have on it . So rowlocks to bigotry and fly the flag with pride.Very wise words mate.......

Devanski Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 I'm trying to think of when flying your national flag, in your own country, could be construed as racist....maybe inside a mosque or something :unsure: ...but even then it is still being flown in England...Anyone else think of any situation...I'm stuck :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i think people who think that r stupid, if i went over to the states id see flags all over, no1 complains and says its racist.

Sir Radfordin Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 The Queen doesn't seem to have a problem flying one in London (or several other places!) so nor should 'we' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankus Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 "National Flag:It remains unclear as to where and how the Welsh flag originated. It is probable that the early Britons used it as a battle standard during, or after, Roman occupation. Indeed it could even be derived from a Roman standard. In 1959, Queen Elizabeth II commanded that the Red Dragon, on a green and white field, be recognised as the official Welsh flag"I didn't realise before that the Welsh flag is only officially old as me ...(almost ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest northamuk Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 Seems to me, the Queen has her own Flag - might be called something like the Royal Standard?>plus if she flew any other, it would have to be the Union Flag!< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djohn Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 I had a screaming eagle on my right forearm when I was 10 years old. [sailor Jack's in Liverpool] forty eight years later it still looks fine but I would never advise or encourage anyone to have the same. :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 We should ALL please ourselves what flag we fly or don't fly, Political correctness has gone over the top in this country. Leicester has one of the largest Indian populations in this country, and everyone seems to join in the fun when they celebrate their religeous festivals. For pity's sake let's all get on with our own lives, and leave other people to theirs. Fly any flag you like and enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 The whole "Political Correctness" business is crass stupidity, formulated by vegetarian, lesbian, single parent, childless, ethnic minority, school teachers/acedemics who are 'socially aware' through isolation, and promulgated bypoliticians (local/national/international) who are mentally unstable (anyone with that sort of ego must me mentally unwell), only have experience of, and interest in, their own vacuous existence, and have defective eyesight in as much as they can see no further than the ends of their own noses.
