Pub landlord 'told by council officers to remove Union Jack jacket because it might offend people'
Pub landlord Jason Mawer has twice been asked in public to remove his treasured Union Jack jacket - for risk of it being 'offensive'. He was told to take off his valuable Mod-style Barbour jacket - designed in honour of legendary rock band The Who - by officials who appeared to be council enforcement officers. On the second occasion the female official warned him: 'Would you mind removing your coat it might offend somebody.'

Let us be honest here, it is the council officials who cause the offence.
All these ruddy council cuts and this is what they waste their time on |

"I aint racist! I just don't like the smell of them sand-******s or Scotchmen!" said Robbie Racist, masturbating furiously into a St. George's Cross flag.
... ... ... My real opinion is, this is obviously over the top if there's genuinely no statement being made alongside him wearing the jacket. It's just a jacket. On the other hand, the above faux-quote is based on reality. In the small English town I used to live in, there was a pub that was absolutely covered in England flags and various "patriotic" wall coverings and it was made abundantly clear that non-English people (including Scottish people) were not at all welcome. |

He should have been arrested for crimes against fashion tbh.. It's a terrible jacket
Joking aside though, I do think that the Union Flag's symbolism had been sullied somewhat ever since the likes of the EDL and Britain First have adopted it as their own.. To some, it being synonymous with these groups may look on it as being likely to cause trouble? I don't really know, just an idea.

It does'nt matter if anyone THINKS it's racist.It's not.No Swastikas or racial wording.Just our Great British Union Jack.If you can't wear a Union Jack in Britain then where the **** can you wear one?Does any other country ban there own flag?People can think what they want about it.It's just a flag on a jacket.The council has no business telling anyone what jacket to wear.
Burkas might offend people but they're not banned. Last edited by Northern Monkey; 13-02-2016 at 03:11 PM. |

I doubt this actually happened, there's no statement from the council and he's a business owner which makes me think this is just a publicity stunt.
Pretty much all stories like this are made up in order to bait the gullible into getting angry over nothing. |

All we have to go off on this article is one man's unconfirmed story with no response from the other party. It's piss poor journalism that's meant to bait people like yourself into getting angry and thinking that your casual bigotry is justified. |

who cares if he's racist? let the man live his life as long as he isn't directly interfering with specific individuals. i have the same opinion on muslims.
has he been going around town targeting young muslim girls for rape and prostitution?
