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.
Of course it used to be the union jack of Britain. Then Bush's mate
Blair started destroying the UK.
Soon it will be non PC to even have a flag.
