..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 Ł500 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%....

Burkas might offend people but they're not banned.
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...

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