For a headmaster to be that ill-informed is a total disgrace. St George has nothing to do with race other than english knights including crusaders adopted st george as their saint.
Somewhere I have a Powerpoint about the history of st george that was circualted by our school so that we actually knew what we were talking about!
to be told I can't fly the flag of my county is DEFINITELY an insult to me.

I have nothing against people displaying the flag of their choice in front of their house, in a bumper sticker or on the parcel shelf of the car. Those who could be offended could in my honest opinion, go forth and multiply.
However, what I object to are those plastic flags fitted on cars, be them St George's Cross, St Andrew's, the blinking Dragon or the legalize cannabis.
I have no problems with anyone supporting their national teams, but those bloody plastic flags are a danger in themselves. Not only are they dangerous because they have a tendency to become detached on the motorway and fly into the windscreen of the vehicle behind, but it also seems that people flying them drive oblivious of traffic around them (must be the flapping of the flags distracting them)
The other thing I don't understand is that need of making that kind of external display of support for ones country. Surely the mere fact of flying a couple of sq feet of plastic doesn't make one more patriotic or commited to the nation than someone who doesnt fly it.
Just my bit of a rant.

My dads mate had a similar story about the england flag out of his window the other day when he was in rugby.....them fake cops (community support officers) told him to take it from his window as it offends other races and he just plainly turned round to him and told him to go forth and multiply(in harsher words) and said i will take my flag down when they take all their turbans and sari's and whatnot off because that offends him. i personally cant have a flag from mine as they are sliding windows but everything has gone way too far now

England needs to stick up for itself and get a backbone, at this moment in time we are run by spineless people who think they know what is best and only listen to themselves and not the general public.
