I've never read The Daily Mail or any other national paper but it's a prime example of an authority suppressing English pride on some spurious ground that it will offend someone, this time by looking unprofessional.

Rishton Towers (and indeed this particular councillor) will be decked out in red and white for today's match and I can't think of a single decent reason why anyone anywhere should be made to hide their national identity during this period.

But it isn't authority, it's just one silly, over paid madam, sat in County Hall, who no doubt will have her arse booted for bringing so much bad publicity for the county, and will be forced to issue some grovelling apology.
