gonetoearth 5,144 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 It's not illegal at all - my local council office flies the cross of St. George on April 23rd, for instance. The problem is, as you hinted, that too many people now think the flag belongs to EDL, BNP or "football" hooligans. Only by flying our flag proudly, can we claim it back from these groups, so ask your local councils and so on if they'll be flying the flag - it's next Tuesday ! Fly one yourself, wear a lapel badge - show your pride in your own country. If you don't how can you expect others to ? Thing is, we are in England, so they should fly the English flag EVERY day, not just 23rd April. am british and have family serving under the union flag that is the flag of the united kingdom st georges day is englands day Quote Link to post Share on other sites

the_stig 6,614 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Had a Welsh flag flying for a while but all the weather ruined it. If I'm not mistaken its illegal in England to fly the English flag as its deenmed racist, perhaps our English members could shed more light on it. Drive around Bulwell on the 23rd and tell the locals there that............ How is the old place ? i used to play footie against Henry Mellish school, when I were a lad !
