Following threats by extremist Islamic group, several corporations, chain of pubs ban England flag
Following warnings by extremist Islamic group al-Muhajiroun, in which the group said that the red cross in the England flag symbolizes the ‘blood thirsty crusaders’ and the occupation of Muslims, some of the largest companies in England have ordered their workers not to wave the flags.
The flag has recently appeared in England on everything from bikinis to cars, and sold in endless versions in stores.
But the Islamic protest forced some corporations, such as cable companies NTL, and even the Drivers and Vehicles Licensing Agency to ban the flag in every form due to fears from reactions of Muslims.
The Sun tabloid newspaper has in recent days launched a campaign to bring back the flag, and has published a blacklist of companies preventing their workers from expressing their patriotism at work.
The Sun said that a large pub network has banned drinkers from entering with symbols of the national team.
The hero of the day is a two year-old toddler, who was thrown out with his parents from Leicester, because he wore the England team’s uniform.
Wild Thing’s comment…….
Can I hear a GOOD Grief!?!?! I bet Churchill is about to leap out of his grave. If Muslims are so easily offended by the sight of a British flag while they’re in Britain, they should leave.
Can the United States be far behind them with the bleeding heart liberals making excuses for the cancer within?
Time for some bloodletting and sending the parts back to their ancestral homelands.
It is very concerning I agree with you Jack. We are not that far behind at all.
This isn’t surprising. The Union Jack has been diminished, mocked, used for clothing patterns and otherwise vulgarized since the mid ’60’s. Britain is now a shabby theme park without an ethos. However strong Blair has been in the current war, he and his kind have been busily deconstructing the United Kingdom all their lives, and today Britain is signified by the lousy Millenium Dome and a stupid Ferris Wheel near Tower Bridge. An amusement park with no one in charge? Nobody.
Their flag became the colorful focus for all the hatred in the unexamined and vague ideas of the British Left a long time ago. Watch any old Monty Python routine today, and you see that what was once funny, seems now to simply be a prolonged rant and temper tantrum directed at British culture. If you want a history of Britain’s decline in thirty episodes, watch Monty Python.
I don’t go there anymore. In the air is a mood of futility, decrepititude and resignation, held together by luxury goods and hooliganism. Right, Suricou?
One more thing. The place called Britain, which is now chiefly England and maybe a Channel Island…forget Scotland, one of the most sissified, selfish and PC countries in the world, is further advanced in its Islamist decay than France. Blair is the contradiction and the cover. He now has the ironic job of defending the worthless thing he’s created, and finding very few allies. Right Suricou?
Although I have given up on most of “old” Europe I still have a little bit of faith that the British will pull out of the socialist trap. The Brits have a long long history of of being a free people and once they realize the trap of socialism they might rebel. It will not be the first time..the Brits also have a long history of internal strife and revolution and have always emerged stronger for it. Just expect to see a lot of dead ragheads while it is happening.
I wonder, if England had a Second Amendment, if the Brits would have more spine and patriotism!
I really hate to see what has happened to Europe in the last 50 years. Denying a successful culture seems to be an act of suicide. I hope more Americans wake up to this while we still have a chance. Maybe the reality of a few more demonstrators waving Mexican flags will rally the populace, even if the politicians are out to lunch.
“When a nation shows a civilized horror of war, it receives directly
the punishment of its mistake. God changes its sex, despoils it of its
common mark of virility, changes it into a feminine nation and sends
conquerors to ravish it of its honor.”
Excerpt from “Battle Studies” by Colonel Charles-Jean-Jacques-Joseph-Ardant-du Picq. Colonel was killed by Prussian artillery in 1870 near Metz.
It fascinates me that so-called Intelligentsia who claim sole True perspective on the human condition and what is good for it,never, ever bother to record and review trend analysis!
That seems to harbor in the domain of men at arms, who, of course, must be taken with a grain of salt…..
Semper Fi
Ditto…EVERYBODY! every comment on this post is dead-on
Stop people showing the flag! Hah! Its World Cup time – you cant walk down a street here without seeing them hanging from windows and decorating cars. We may not be as dedicated to patriotism as you Americans, but *noone* comes between us and football.
Oh, and I will of course be spreading this story around in order to incite as much anti-muslim sentiment as I can manage 🙂
Suricou:
Who is “Noone”?
GUYK has a point in his post. The Brits have a history of hundreds of years they take a lot but when they get a belly full they react with vengeance. I hope it is sooner rather than later.It will be nice to see them packing up the ragheads and there demands and send them packing.
Rhod, great statement………..’If you want a history of Britain’s decline in thirty episodes, watch Monty Python.”……..how true.
GUY I hope that happens you have such an excellent point on this. It would be great! And like you said…..”Just expect to see a lot of dead ragheads while it is happening.”….that would be ok too.
I agree Tom, what has happened to Europe should be of concern big time to everyone in America. We are such a baby country and it ticks me off how fast we have let the PC jerks rule and the left have their way on way too many things to try and destroy our Nation.
Colonel Jerry thank you well said.
Suricou Raven I am glad to know that about the World Cup and the Flags.
Then this is a good time to let the “extremist Islamic group al-Muhajiroun” know their demands will not be tolerated.
