The minorities are taking over our country, and the 'politically correct brigade (when it suits them)' are backing it.
You have to wonder who in this country objects to the national flag, or indeed our national anthem, and why the government or in this case, senior police officers support them.
You may not support the fact that we are in Iraq and Afghanistan, but our soldiers are only doing their duty as instructed by the government which we elected.
This is an extract from the Daily Mail on line. A more infamous ban from the police I cannot imagine
Scores of Scotland Yard officers are in open revolt after being banned from wearing Union Flag badges in support of British troops.
Met chiefs have decreed that the tiny emblems – which cost £1 with proceeds going to charity – must be removed after a complaint that they are offensive.
But furious junior officers are continuing to wear them in defiance at the politically correct stance.
A petition has been launched on the Downing Street website demanding they be allowed to wear the badges, which are to raise funds for the Royal British Legion and the Help for Heroes charity.
Peter Smyth, chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation, said: ‘The decision to forbid police officers from joining the rest of the country in showing support for those who are fighting2 0for their country is nothing less than shameful.’
Armed police patrolling Heathrow Airport have been banned from wearing tiny Union Jack badges in support of British troops.
Top brass claimed the tie-pin badges - which cost £1 with proceeds going to the Help for Heroes charity - were offensive.
But one officer asked: "How can the Union Jack be offensive?
"This ruling is even more absurd coming this weekend on the 65th anniversary of the D-Day landings.
"We must be the only country ashamed to display our national flag."
About 100 officers in the Metropolitan force's SO18 Aviation branch, which patrols Heathrow, bought the inch-square badges.
I think personally ours must be the only Police Force that does not wear its national flag.
This must end, they are the finest and they should have the union flag on their uniform as standard.
Failing this allow them to wear the union flag voluntarily as these officers did, especially as it is for a very noble and just cause.
A ban on police officers wearing Union Flag badges to support UK troops was scrapped yesterday.
Scotland Yard chief Sir Paul Stephenson intervened hours after the Daily Mail revealed that the tiny emblems had been outlawed. Hundreds of officers had threatened to defy the order and an online petition calling on Gordon Brown to intervene attracted more than 3,000 signatures. The £1 badges, sold to raise cash for the British Legion and the Help for Heroes charity, fell foul of a blanket ban on non-regulation clothing.
But amid intense embarrassment at Scotland Yard, Sir Paul decided to lift the ban. A spokesman said: 'The Met has a dress code policy which states that only approved corporate badging may be used. However, on this occasion, the Commissioner has decided to intervene. 'He feels strongly that these are exceptional circumstances and the Met should be openly showing their support for British troops currently serving abroad. 'On this occasion it seems entirely appropriate that officers are able to show their support for these brave men and women.'
The thing is WHAT IDIOT put out the Original Banning Order??????? Thats what we would like to know not that Sir Paul Stephenson used Commonsense and backtracked, plus had to dig himself out of a hole that one of his own Senior Officers put him in.......
