Can't agree more cherokee, is it any wonder the BNP are gaining so much support:(

Re: Banned, the police Union Flag badge that backs our troops
 

I agree that they should not be allowed to wear any badges at all. They should only be allowed to wear the official uniform while on duty.

For me it is not about just this one badge that they should not be allowed to wear but any badge.

If badges were allowed they might start wearing football club badges or Blue Peter badges.

So my question is "Are all non Police issue badges banned from being worn or just this one?"

I agree Neil, we dont want them becoming advertising boards or wearing anything which may affend some sections of society, its bad enough with the Freemason regalia.

As i have said before, we are no longer a BRITISH country. How the Union flag offend the British?

Re: Banned, the police Union Flag badge that backs our troops
 

Quite right, how dare they display our national flag? Absolutely disgusting! :rolleyes:

Re: Banned, the police Union Flag badge that backs our troops
 

Incidentally, it's worth clicking on the link again. According to the Mail, the authorities have backed down and officers WILL be allowed to wear the badge, after all. Common sense prevails! :)

Wasn't it Rochdale that banned Union Flags on Taxis?

Re: Banned, the police Union Flag badge that backs our troops
 

No law has been passed making the Union Flag the national flag of the United Kingdom: it has become one through precedent. Its first recorded recognition as a national flag came in 1908, when it was stated in Parliament that "the Union Jack should be regarded as the National flag". A more categorical statement was made by the Home Secretary, Sir John Gilmour, in 1933 when he stated that "the Union Jack is the National Flag". But it is still officially a flag of the monarch, rather than the country.

Re: Banned, the police Union Flag badge that backs our troops

Re: Banned, the police Union Flag badge that backs our troops
 

I know, Shakey, I'm used to it now! ;)

Re: Banned, the police Union Flag badge that backs our troops
 

I still say they should not be allowed to wear anything except the official Police issue uniform

Re: Banned, the police Union Flag badge that backs our troops
 

A Rememberance Day poppy isn't offical uniform, but they're allowed to wear them.;)


I'm glad they've changed their mind, and shown common sense...for once.
