Admin Maesknoll Red Posted October 22, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Beyond belief....... What other country would stop anyone displaying their national flag in a completely non offensive way. Probably some white do gooder liberal on the council getting upset for minorities, who haven't complained. http://p.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/oct/22/uk-taxi-driver-ordered-remove-offensive-english-fl/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Do you really believe this story ? Precisely. It's taken from the World's worst newspaper, the Daily Express. It's worth noting BTW that Teignbridge is a Conservative controlled council, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipdawg Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Firstly, it's plainly rubbish. Secondly, taxi's are not supposed to have anything stuck on them other than the livery of their taxi firm and their license plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I'm surprised that Maesknoll who's usually fairly astute is taken in by something from the Express. It's a comic aimed at the less literate BNP members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Maesknoll Red Posted October 23, 2013 Author Admin Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Can't say I realised that it was from the Express, I had to reread it to find the reference. Also a story in the local rag, not sure of that papers political allegiance. http://www.exeterexpressandecho.co.uk/Taxi-driver-told-remove-St-George-s-flag-sticker/story-19955377-detail/story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a comic aimed at the less literate BNP members. The Daily Express often has lots of anti European Union project viewpoints that I totally agree with. I believe they're all for a free and fair referendum on the UK's EU membership and I totally endorse that stance as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshy Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 If she replaced it with an EU flag with the logo 'Born and raised in the US of E' she wouldn't have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
