Brit cops banned from wearing Union Flag on uniform.

<< < (4/4)

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
My badge has arrived and is now on the uniform.

I tend to agree with some of what TBM has said, but for me it is a personal thing. My son served in several overseas theatres, and I have friends who are out there and others who are due to go out there.
I've seen officers that I work with displaying all sorts of badges and emblems for different charities, causes and beliefs. Some I don't personally agree with, others I do, but I have never complained about them, as I respect their thoughts and opinons in the matter in question.

Gordo:
I suspect that at the root of this it isn't what the badge is, but what the uniform is.

A lot of these cases about people not being allowed to display, e.g. a crucifix, is because the uniform rules do not allow visible necklaces of any kind. Where I've worn uniforms for work, there have been rules covering non-work insignia, badges, jewllery etc.

Makes a good headline though, and sells a lot of papers.
