But I do trust the council who say that no such incident has been recorded, rather than some bloke selling a non-story to try and make some money

It's basic journalism, LT, you get both sides of the story and report on it. Stories that only cover one side are always suspect.

Does it satisfy your soul to call people cowards who don't see brown skin and use it as an excuse to hate on a whole religion?

It's not an attack on liberty! It's to prevent trouble and the bar staff having to deal with it?!

We have laws to deal with trouble. Not oppression.

I think its a great shame that our flag has been sullied. If I'm honest, people wearing jackets like that do make me nervous but its only because I've been privi to the regular far right protesters walking through central London all wearing our flag like a uniform.

People should be able to wear the union jack without being thought of as a racist but people also have to accept that if they do wear the flag, people may misjudge them.

Its a difficult one.

The law doesn't prevent trouble. It may deal with troublemakers after the trouble has happened, but it will not prevent it.
Asking pub goers not to wear football tops or flags does. That's why a lot of landlords have this rule.

Trust the Council?


Why would they record a conversation?

not council workers worried about blame shock

Ok this one is too far. There's nothing racist about the British flag. Unless, I don't know the full story. But there's nothing wrong with what he's wearing...apart from it looks terrible.

I'm just saying that you called me a coward in that other thread for not hating on a religion that ultimately had nothing to do with that thread but was brought up because the people who committed those acts just so happened to have brown skin.

You're just acting like a hypocritical victim because I've caught you out.

Congratulations, good catch.
