Motorist told flag could be racist

A TEENAGE motorist was told to remove an England flag from his car by a police officer because it could be offensive to immigrants.



Ben Smith, 18, was driving back home to Ingram Road in Melksham on Thursday evening after filling up with petrol, when the officer stopped him on a routine patrol.

He checked the tax disc and tyres on his Vauxhall Corsa but when he noticed the flag of St George on the parcel shelf he told Mr Smith to take it down.
Police harassment from a police state.

That kinda of stuff happens all the time in England now, everything has to be so PC its bull ****. My grandparents Church wasn't allowed to fly the English flag on St Georges day, because it was located in an area heavily populated by Muslims. Im so glad i moved out here, at least America has the ***** to let 'Americans' show pride in their country, i wish England would let 'English' people do the same!!!!!

Nah im still here, going back across in August for a couple of weeks to see family and friends etc. Im doing alright, just waiting for college to finish. How about you?

Getting back to this post, i hate political correctness!!! Theres a difference between showing pride in your heritage / country / culture and being racist or derogatory towards another group of people !

How so? I am not saying you are wrong, but just curious as to why/in what ways we will be like Britain in 10 years.

I used ten years as a guestimate..

More concerned with multi-nationalism and "Diversity" than common sense and the well being of the citizenship. This is already happening in the states.
--See amnesty bills- Mccain/Kennedy. Supported by Hillary and Obama.
--See the two BP agents in jail for shooting a (Immigrant) Drug smuggler.



More Nanny State. The Parliament decrees various rediculous anti crime laws that do nothing to prevent crime, and leave their people at the mercy of Hooligans..
-See total Gun control 1997--
See Knife control 2004- current
Neither does anything but leave the law abiding at the mercy of (well armed) Criminals.
Violent Crime is actually worse in England that in the States Now IIRC.

Obama has said on more than one occasion that he wants to federally outlaw CCW. Hell just take a look at Chicago to see what his plans are for the US.

Hillary's regime is responsible for the 1994 AW Ban.

Mccain while not overtly anti gun would probably roll over for another ban..

Socialized medicine-- They have it.. We will probably get stuck with it..

Welfare-- We both have it. They just have more people on the dole.


Ridiculous Taxes.. Ya'll in Cali already deal with towns that tax and spend till they're broke.. (Vallejo, San Fransisco is heading there)
The rest of the Nation is heading there, big cities first then bleeding into towns.


The US is moving more towards a European model, ask any (demo) Politico where we should be going and they'll conjure up images of Nato, and Paris, and multi nationalism, and they will downplay the riots in Paris suburbs, and the Islamic courts in England.

This is where these folks are taking us.
