England Flag will offend immigrants!

A furious driver was ordered by police to remove an England flag from his car “in case it upset immigrants”.

Traffic police told Ben Smith that he faced a £30 fine if he refused.They found nothing wrong with his 2003 Vauxhall Corsa but spotted a St George flag on his parcel shelf.Ben, an 18-year-old upholsterer from Melksham, Wilts, said: “It is quite incredible. He checked everything and said all was in order until he saw the St George’s flag. He then said I was racist towards the immigrants in our country. I laughed because I thought he was having a joke.

Then he said he was serious and would give me a £30 fine unless I took it down at once. All I was doing was supporting my country.”Ben says the flag was not obscuring his vision.Laura Midgley of the Campaign Against Political Correctness said: “This is a national flag and it’s in his car – what’s the problem? Haven’t the police got better things to do than faff around with this nonsense? Laura Midgley of the Campaign Against Political Correctness Would they have done the same if it was a Jamaican or Polish flag for example? I doubt it.

We have become obsessed and lost the plot over trying to be politically correct.It’s crackers and utterly unhelpful for race relations and the exact behaviour that causes problems in the first place. I have never heard an immigrant say they are offended by the Cross of St George.”Ben added: “I just want people to realise how silly the police are getting.”Wiltshire Police defended their actions yesterday.Chief Inspector Charlie Dibble said: “Having looked into this matter we have no reason to believe that this was anything other than a road safety matter.Officers are encouraged to take positive action in this regard and this would apply if it was any object obscuring the driver’s view.”And they wonder why we are so pissed off when every body else can freely display their national flag in their own country with no comments at all, but an England flag in England is racist or offensive?

Watch the Eurovision song contest on the telly tonight and watch all the nationalists supporting their country and waving their flags, I am not offended, so what's the problem?
