george cross flag

[bayliss]

Is it legal to fly the george cross flag outside your house during the world cup . I have been told that I could be prosecuted should I do so . That does not seem right

my neighbour next door but one has a full height flag pole and flies the england flag 365 days a tear but he's added another 15 smaller flags around his back garden just to be sure lol

Why does it take a major sporting event for us to fly our flag with pride?

Bikers have GeorgeX on my chimney stack & bunting around house; UJ on flagpole outside & nodding bulldog clad with GX in Jag with stickers on Reg plates. Football CD in car to roar up & down to my shops. Chav - that's me :)

You may offend some of the PC brigade left wing appeasers, but who cares about them.

[tamborine]

It's considered offensive to some....as are burkhas but we have to put up & shut up !

[bayliss]

thank you all for your replies I CAN ASSUME FROM ALL OF THEM THAT i AM LEGAL THANKS ONCE AGAIN

[dothawkes31]

To be illegal there would have to have been a law passed banning English people from flying their flag, this would suggest England has become a nazzi state and as yet I don't think we have.

Fly your Flag with Pride, nothing wrong with being patriotic.....

The relevant legislation is the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 2007.

You may display a country's national flag, commonwealth/EU/UN flag, the flag of an English Country or a Saint's flag (but you can only display the flag of the Saint for the country you are in) without advertisement consent provided that there is nothing but the flag on the flagstaff and nothing has been added to the flag.

It's an urban myth promoted by racist types who claim that ethnic minorities have complained about the flags and have got the law/politicians on their side. It's all nonsense of course but it sells newspapers and provides conversation in pubs and classrooms

[4getmenot]

well if it is then the queens in a bit of a pickle

[dh001]

do you have a link to that factor30?
