Quite responsive non racist.constructive positive replies to your question.Heartining jan bug would you not agree?In saying that everyone has their opinion but in saying that most came to a similar conclusion.I;e we do pander to other communities - but I have to concede sadly using any flag - be it it Scottish St Georges X etc  in prison does not bore well.Sad but true.

Well Buddy, I found much of it heartening, except the tired old "the state of our country" comments, which I find rather depressing.  If people don't like it - either do something to make it a better place, or leave.  Sitting and moaning doesn't help anyone really, when it comes to things like this. 

I do agree with you that flags in prison probably aren't a good idea.  I don't suppose they're allowed to wear football shirts either, nor pin badges indicating their premiership preferences.  I can just imagine a ManU tie pin wearing officer trying to calm a Man City shirt wearing angry prisoner.... :-s

Mr Grandparents came over from France in the 1800�s that supposingly makes me French. Well it doesn�t, I�m ENGLISH, I was born in East Sussex. If �the Idiots� who claim flying the English flag is racialist, they had better watch out. Later on in the year, if England does well in the world cup, there will be all sorts of nationalities waving it, Asians, Africans and Europeans. ALL waving ST GEORGES CROSS flags, YES! THE ENGLISH FLAG. It�s a brilliant sight, it could only happen in Britain.
