are you calling the guy a liar

he is a respected publican :nono:

wearing a manky coat that looks like it could run away from him on its own at any moment :laugh:

has he even washed it since Quadrophenia?

:hehe:

..it really isn't a great jacket/style-wise and I'm inclined to agree with Dezzy, that this story is a bit of promo for the jacket and quite sceptical...I can't find that it's in any way related to the Who/Roger Daltry, only that the jackets were launched by Selfridges for almost £500 each...and of course the Union Jack, British Bulldog, Red Phone Boxes etc are quite trendy and retro atm on many things/clothing, house accessories etc...well they have been in vogue for a while I think....


...mind you an interesting 'fact' I guess, reported from Selfridges is that an appearance from Nick Griffin on Question Time once, saw an increase in their Union Jack related products of 50%....

why didn't he just tell them to get stuffed?

I agree. Burkas offend me, but if I went to the council and told them that they would probably tell me to get lost. It's only Britains in Britain who get penalised for being proud to be British.

Exactly.It is ridiculous.Britain is way too soft.Soft on everyone except it's own people.Imigrants are treated better than British people.

...hmmm, it's a difficult one isn't it...I think someone has said earlier in the thread, with The Union Jack, it's the 'attachment' to negativity/racism with things like the BNP party/UKIP etc so something good and positive and to be proud of has been 'tainted' into being perceived by some as a negative and so we have the 'PC', when there should be nothing PC about a country's flag...(although I am sceptical about this story atm...)...and there again with Burkas, I think there has become a similar negative attachment for some with ISIS/extreme terrorism...and I don't personally think that's 'being soft on in Britian' atm because burkas are being banned in some places, which 'back in the day', the thought of banning them wouldn't have been something considered/but the more recent times, 'negative attachment'....


...anyways, banning wouldn't be the answer to me with the Union Jack...if something has been tainted into a negative association, it would be more 'reclaiming' as it were of it into something more positive and there are many, many positives...

Not at all

I mean, when you heart stories of people getting told to take flags down and such, I always assumed it was made up bull

But it doesn't seem to be :laugh:

Looks like it is..

fgs :laugh:

yes but that story claiming to debunk it relies on council officers telling their superiors the truth and frankly i dont believe them

what the hell is a council enforcer anyway?

So you think the landlord was told to stop wearing the jacket, and now those council members won't admit it?

probably

LT is having a bit of a Troll me thinks :laugh:

Nothing would surprise me mind you..

no

would you trust a fluorescent council enforcement officer?

what are they even enforcing?

who are these people? what is their job exactly?

Hunting down racist clothing, one jacket at a time.

:umm2:

You all most have massive budgets over there to employ people as Jacket Detectives :laugh:
