Did anyone see the news today about Stockport Council banning a trader from giving away red roses on St Georges Day........they say it is because the red rose is a political symbol!
And another council......(.think it might be Liverpool ) are threatening a butcher with fines of £50 for every flag of St George he puts up outside his shop.........and it looked like there were a good number on the lamposts on the road where his shop is.

We are not supposed to have any national pride anymore.
