Banned from flying the flag: Binmen threatened with sack if they show support for England during World Cup

Binmen have been threatened with the sack if they fly England flags on their wagons during the World Cup.

Drivers in Liverpool were ordered to sign contracts forbidding the St George’s Cross due to apparent ‘health and safety’ risks.

A clampdown on public patriotism ahead of England’s first game against the U.S. in 15 days times has been enforced elsewhere in Britain.

These racist bastards shouldn't be controlling English councils! There has to be a way to fight back and prevent this racist, unpatriotic attack on our culture!

In loving memory of all those poor children who died needlessly, back in the seventies from the killer flags and bunting. Thank God, health and safety has shown us the way forward, so these tragedies will never be repeated. May their little souls rest in peace.

I'm sorry to say it, but the reason this happens is because the authorities know the British public are as soft as shyte and apart from a bit of moaning just accept the laws regardless.
Could you imagine this happening in, say, Spain, or some S.American country?

Makes me wish I was a f**king bin man down there, so I could get myself the f**king biggest St. Georges flag I could find and attach it to my wagon. I'd park the f**king thing in the middle of the busiest street in the city at rush hour, lock the door, lose the key and tell these f**kers to shove their stinking job up their racist, anti-English arse!

Hmmm, Canterbury, and other towns in and around the South East, have a very large proportion of muslims who are cabbies.

Banned from flying the flag: Binmen threatened with sack if they show support for England during World Cup
Daily Mail 28th May 2010

Binmen have been threatened with the sack if they fly England flags on their wagons during the World Cup.

Drivers in Liverpool were ordered to sign contracts forbidding the St George’s Cross due to apparent ‘health and safety’ risks.

A clampdown on public patriotism ahead of England’s first game against the U.S. in 15 days times has been enforced elsewhere in Britain.

Clampdown: Workers are increasingly being banned from flying England flags

Taxi drivers in Kent have been warned by Canterbury City Council that they could have their licences suspended if they fly the St George’s Cross.

The binmen in Merseyside, working for private contract firm Enterprise-Liverpool, have also been banned from putting badges and stickers inside their trucks.

Bosses said they were concerned that the items could block drivers' views.

But workers are furious at the decision. One said: ‘We are all football fans and we all cannot wait for the World Cup.

‘But to be told we are at risk of being sacked if we put anything in our cabs is absolutely ridiculous. It has got everyone's backs up.

‘We all signed because what was the alternative? We do not want to lose our jobs. But surely they could just have had a quiet word and said 'lads, don't stick any flags up, hey?'

‘This is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.’ It's understood all workers were told to sign the contracts on Thursday.

Any binman found to have breached the terms of the contract could be suspended pending an investigation and face the prospect of dismissal.

A spokesman for Enterprise-Liverpool said: ‘We have issued the directive that no decoration is permitted in any company vehicles due to concerns over the potential health and safety implications of driver visibility and pedestrian safety.

In Kent, licensing chief Roger Vick denied being a killjoy. He said: ‘A taxi has to be seen as a public service vehicle. Lots of vehicles will be going around with flags on.

‘If a taxi has flags, this could create confusion as to whether it is a public service vehicle or not.’ He added: ‘We are not being killjoys. There is a degree of health and safety here as well.’

‘If a taxi has flags, this could create confusion as to whether it is a public service vehicle or not.’

What a load of poppycock. Sounds like a desperate move to not offend our friends, yet again.
As to the binmen - is this ban for external flags only? I wonder if this is a blanket ban? Can't they even display a sign/flag laying flat on their dashboard?

Sorry MJ999. Should I edit that post and give it an extreme warning graphic content. I wouldn't want to traumatise anybody with images of the bad old days. :D

so what about at christmas when taxi's, bin trucks etc; have christmas decorations on them ? (they do up here in scotland anyway) If flags are against health and safety then this must be too ? Or is it just because the flags might be seen as offensive by some stupid f**king morons ?

Get a grip this is our country and our flags shall always fly!!
