Taxi Drivers banned from supporting England

Taxi drivers in Blackpool have been banned from wearing clothes featuring the word England, the three lions or St George's Crosses and from flying England flags from their cabs. One driver claims that he was told that it was to prevent causing offence to foreigners and to prevent any possible trouble from Scottish and Welsh people. One cabbie had his licence suspended for wearing a shirt which said the word England on it.

Blackpool council is currently flying a gay pride flag over its offices in support of homosexuals. I wonder how many people in Blackpool find that offensive.
