Boycott the new England shirt?

I don't like the way they're trying to undermine the English flag, the cross of Saint George.

In this video here at YouTube you can see what I mean.

The designer says he doesn't like what the "old cross" historically stands for and so he has designed the shirt using different multi-coloured crosses.

The project is called A NEW FABRIC FOR ENGLAND, which says it all.

I hope the EDL will object to this.

Yes I thought it was joke but when you watch the video you can see how serious he is.

We're going to get more of this now mark my words.

Basically, The English Cross of St George is now under attack.

We'll see more and more such projects and so-called initiatives.

I hope everyone resists.

The 'Cross of St George' and our history, culture and identity have been undermined fr hundreds of years.

2005. British prison officers who wore a St. George's Cross tie-pin have been ticked off by the jails watchdog over concerns about the symbol's racist connotations.
The pins showing the English flag -- which has often raised hackles due to its connection with the Crusades of the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries -- could be "misconstrued," Chief Inspector of Prisons Anne Owers said in a section on race in a report on a jail in the northern English city of Wakefield.
The banner of St. George, the red cross of a martyr on a white background, was adopted for the uniform of English soldiers during the military expeditions by European powers to recapture the Holy Land from Muslims, and later became the national flag of England.
A section on race relations in Owers' report said: "We were concerned to see a number of staff wearing a flag of St. George tie-pin. "While we were told that these had been bought in support of a cancer charity there was clear scope for misinterpretation, and Prison Service Orders made clear that unauthorized badges and pins should not be worn." As one of her formal recommendations Owers said: "Staff should not wear unauthorized badges or pins."
Chris Doyle, director of the Council for the Advancement of Arab-British Understanding, said Tuesday the red cross was an insensitive reminder of the Crusades.
"A lot of Muslims and Arabs view the Crusades as a bloody episode in our history," he told CNN. "They see those campaigns as Christendom launching a brutal holy war against Islam. "Muslim or Arab prisoners could take umbrage if staff wore a red cross badge. It's also got associations with the far-right. Prison officers should be seen to be neutral."
Doyle added that it was now time for England to find a new flag and a patron saint who is "not associated with our bloody past and one we can all identify with."


The Sun: Feb 2008.
SCHOOLKIDS are being punished for flying the English flag, a Government report claimed yesterday.
It found that politically correct teachers are sending youngsters home for wearing clothing featuring the St George cross.
And kids are even being told off just because they have been dropped off in a car decorated with the symbol.
A 76-page report for Children’s Secretary Ed Balls concluded: The general perception among parents was that it was no longer acceptable to be proud to be English.
It said it had heard many cases of PC-mad teachers banning the flag.
Nick Seaton, of the Campaign for Real Education, said last night: This is absolutely ridiculous. Youngsters from all backgrounds should be proud to be English and shouldn’t be afraid to express it.
Undermined
The Childhood Wellbeing report, carried out by Counterpoint Research, added: Political correctness and perceived health and safety regulations were felt to have systematically undermined communities and the quality of their children’s education


Daily Mail: JUNE 2008.
They were happy to fly the flag of St George on the patron saint's day.
But it seems ministers aren't quite so keen to put their money where their mouths are.
For, in the past five years, Labour has spent just £230 promoting St George's Day.
In 2008 they spent £116. In 2007, £114... and in the previous three years, nothing was spent at all.
This April, Downing Street proudly raised the flag, and Mr Brown's spokesman said: 'The prime minister's view is that of course we should celebrate our Britishness, but celebrating our Britishness does not mean we cannot also celebrate our Englishness, Scottishness, Welshness or Northern Irishness.'
Justice Secretary Jack Straw urged the English to reclaim the day from 'bigots'.
'Anyone proud to be English is equally proud of St George and what, down the ages, his myth and his flag have come to represent for this nation within the United Kingdom,' he wrote in the Daily Mail.
But yesterday, Margaret Hodge, the culture minister, admitted how little had been spent actually promoting the day.
Her department started flying the flag on the patron saint's day in 2007.
The figures were revealed in a written answer to the Commons following a request from the Tories.
Critics rounded on the Government's lack of funding. Tory MP Andrew Rosindell said: 'We must be the only country in the world that spends nothing or virtually nothing on celebrating its national day. I was expecting it to be low but not that low.
'There needs to be a change in the culture of Government in the way it approaches something like this,' added Mr Rosindell, who is chairman of the all-party St George's Day group.
Lord Tebbit, who is patron of the group, said: 'This marks the final abandonment of the culture of England. I'm quite sure the Government is spending lots of money on other cultures' celebrations.'
St Patrick's Day is a public holiday in Ireland. The Irish national day attracts far greater recognition in England than does St George. And pubs find it far easier to obtain a late licence for March 17.
In Scotland, St Andrew's Day is a voluntary public holiday, meaning banks are not forced to close.
Although St George may be out of favour financially, the notion of Britishness is very much in fashion with ministers.
Last week, they announced plans to make the August Bank Holiday a national celebration of 'Britishness'.
Immigration Minister Liam Byrne said that bringing together immigrants and UK citizens would bolster community relations.
He suggested a speech from the Queen, street parties, singing and carnivals against a backdrop of posters showing Winston Churchill and other historical figures.
A Department of Culture, Media and Sport spokesman said the £230 was spent on putting flags up on St George's Day at the department's offices in 2007 and 2008.
He added: 'We spend millions of pounds through tourism bodies marketing all aspects of the country to visitors.'



Daily Mail: 2010.
More than 1,200 workers have been banned from flying England flags on their own cars by managers - over fears they could deemed as racist.
Employees at the housing association were sent a group e-mail warning that decking out their personal vehicles with the St George's flags could 'discriminate' against those who don't support England during the World Cup.
Managers at Bolton At Home in Greater Manchester, which manages 18,200 council houses in Bolton, insist cars owned by their workforce must remain 'neutral' in order to treat all its 'customers with respect and without discrimination'.
But today an employee at the organisation said: 'It's an absolute disgrace. 'All we want to do is show our support for the England football team in the World Cup but we are in effect being told it is racist to start waving the England flag. 'A ban would be bad enough on company cars but these are our own vehicles and we should be allowed to do what we like with them. This is Big Brother mentality gone bonkers.'
Another worker said: 'People are decking out the streets and houses in England flags yet the bosses here are being killjoys in the name of political correctness.
'The message seems to be from them that we should be embarrassed to wave the England flag. Yet all of us think we should be waving the England flag with pride. Don't our bosses want England to win the World Cup?' The rule is part of a set of World Cup protocols employees at the company must follow during the tournament.
All staff were sent an e-mail banning them from displaying car flags, stickers, posters and 'other World Cup merchandise'.
The rule applies to Bolton At Home-branded vehicles, public offices and any personal vehicles used for work and for which an employee claims 'essential or casual car allowance'. Staff have also been told not to use work mobile phones to check World Cup scores because it is too expensive. Mark Perryman, head of the official England supporters club, said: 'Banning the use of any flag is wrong and simply suppresses multiculturalism.
'The idea that you can suppress something like this by diktat is ludicrous and incredibly badly thought out.
'South Africa is a country with an appalling history - apartheid, famine, Aids, being badly treated by the empire - but everybody is flying the flag of the rainbow nation. People in England should be doing the same.' Bolton At Home was set up in 2003 as an Arms Length Management Organisation (ALMO) in partnership with Bolton Council and numerous agencies. It vows to "work to improve the social and economic conditions of both the estates where our houses are located as well as other disadvantaged areas in the Bolton borough." It is run by a board made up of councillors, independent members and tenants.
But in 2003, Bolton At Home employees were prohibited from displaying national flags and stickers on their cars following a complaint about an Irish flag on a caretaker's van. On its website the organisation says: 'Equality and valuing diversity are central to our organisational values. 'We want our workplace to be free of discrimination against any racial or social group, or any individual. We have set out these principles in our equality statement.'
A Bolton At Home spokesman said: 'We believe our working arrangements are simply a common sense approach to honouring our responsibilities for delivering quality customer services during the World Cup. 'The organisation is justifiably proud of its staff and the manner in which they conduct business. 'Bolton At Home has practices in place in order to maintain and improve standards of conduct, as well as protect staff from any misunderstanding or unfair criticism.
'We follow a code of conduct to treat all our customers with respect, and without discrimination. 'We want to avoid the potential for flag displays to be taken out of context and so we believe their use during work-related activities to be inappropriate.'




The internet is full of anti Cross of StGeorge flag flying events that occured thanks to our anglophobic government.

What about their policy of devolution whereby Scotland and Wales now have their own parliaments yet England is still governed by a BRITISH UNION of Scots Welsh Irish and English.
Westmisnter is now planning on selling off our forests and woods;
But as Agriculture is a devolved policy they cannot sell off Scotlands forest or Welsh forest it will once again be England and the English who lose out.

What about the policy of REGIONALISATION' where our historic counties of Debyshire, Yorkshire, Sussex etc will be changed into EU regions?
Again we have a Scotland region and a Wales region having no effect on their counties but there will be no England region.

OK class, can anyone see Scotland?
OK and how about Wales....goodRight anyone see England?.

Nope because in the eyes of the EU and BRITISH Westminster England nolonger exists on their maps.
