oakey 57 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Just read in the local press .The police have issued a statement to say that the flag ban in local pubs that has been talked about on the web and in the pubs and clubs is a urban myth and has never been thought of .

Malt 379 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 how could the union flag be offensive and to who scothunter I find it offensive because it contains the crosses of Saints George, Andrew & Patrick and not the cross of Saint David.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 yeah the pub opposite the road to me had to take down a big england flag they had hanging outside too I'm no fan of multiculturalism but I find this hard believe. I live in a city that has a high population of Black and Asian people, and almost everyone of the pubs I see has a St. Georges flag or a Union Jack flying from it.

Lab 10,979 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 really? i find your dragon offensive because dragons are scary, please take it down I dont like the union jack either!!!! I'm scottish not british!! Why you cant fly your own flag in your own country beats me though........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bird 9,873 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 FECK UM , And (if)! they ever could win, you would see some feckin flags then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 really? i find your dragon offensive because dragons are scary, please take it down Bit of a difference there. The dragon represents Wales just like the St. Georges cross represents England. The Union flag is meant to represent all of the home nations. It doesn't represent my country as it should, that's why it offends me. I'm in agreement about being able to fly the St. Georges cross in England, you should be able to fly it whenever & wherever you want without recourse or comment. Although why you guys want to fly a cross dedicated to a Turkish martyr who never even set foot in England & based on ancient French heraldry is beyond this simple Welshman.. :laugh: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But you can mate, look at every Fire station, Police Station and most Hospitals fly the flag, as well as other places including thousands upon thousands of public house up and down our country.

Malt 379 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 we dont have the northern irish flag on it or the isle of mans flag or the isle of wight flag just the 2 major players 1. The Isle of man isn't part of the union, it's a crown protectorate. 2. The cross of St. Patrick is represented on the union flag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The popularity of St George in England stems from the time of the early Crusades when it is said that the Normans saw him in a vision and were victorious.
