I don't think anyone bought any flags to put up for D-Day, did they?

i'm suprised they are allowed on cars if i'm honest, what about all the muslims we might offend?

couldn't the actions of putting flags on cars encourage terrorism?

half and half

i seem to recall that last time, during the world cup, some pubs and work places did not allow the cross of st george to be displayed in case it offended minorities.

i'm suprised some back bence liberal or labour mp hasn't come up with something like this by now

Nice BM, Andy - you still haven't took me for a ride like you promised (or did you!?

Dr Siggy, you know that Muslims and black guys don't get offended at crosses or flags.

It's the council do-gooders that get offended on their behalf!

It's the CRE and other types of organisations that create the conflicts, fella.

Absolutely, JB. In fact there's an asian family living at the end of my street, and they drive a Ford Focus COVERED with football guff, including the British flag.

In 30 years time, it will be illegal to fly any flag other than the blue one with yellow stars. I'll have left this country by then though - I don't like where it's heading...

I could have sworn all those flags were in celebration of the brave deeds being done by our wonderful cricket team, Major. What's this football lark then, something I should know about?

They would annoy me less if most of them didn't have "England" written on them. Isn't is bloody obvious?

There appear to be a lot less of them around this way today since all the radio stations led on the DoT announcement that it's a fine of up to £2,500 and 3 penalty points if you distract another driver by having one on your car.
