The English are passionate about football and the UEFA Football Championship (the ‘Euros’) has the potential to promote national pride (not the gender ideology kind) in a time when all divisions; whether political, racial, or otherwise, could be transcended - unifying the country as the population rallies support behind the National football squad.
Instead, London Mayor Sadiq Khan has opted to further stoke division and inflame tensions, out of misguided virtue signaling…because anything and everything gets slapped with the ‘offensive’ label these days by the UK nanny state.
Grabbing this via The Gateway Pundit:
Now, Khan’s Transport for London (TfL) has imposed a ‘woke’ ban on London’s taxi drivers, warning them against flying an England flag during the UEFA European Football Championship (the Euros) or face serious penalties, including losing their black cab license.
TfL bosses used the excuse that flying the St George’s Cross could be ‘distracting’ and possibly cause road accidents.
Drivers have slammed the new rule suggesting the flags are no more distracting than advertisements painted on cars and that the decision is another bow to the woke crowd concerned that a display of English pride will offend minorities.
Black cab driver Fred Perkins told The Sun, “It’s nonsense. It’s all coming down from Khan at the top, because he’s ultimately in charge.”
Adding, “Our society has really gone woke when we can’t fly a little flag for England for the Euros. Loads of drivers used to have flags on their cabs in years gone by.”
During last night’s exhilarating match against Slovakia, whereby England came back from the abyss for a stunning 2-1 win, now through to the quarter finals - all creeds and colours can be seen amongst both the players and amidst the thunderous support of the fans. England flags can be seen proudly displayed in the stands. The flag does not represent racism. It represents the unity of a country, especially during the high stakes of the UEFA championship.
We hope that football is coming home this time around, once again.
Let us end on a lighthearted note - in case anyone was wondering what Gareth Southgate was scribbling on his little notepad, I have obtained insider information and can present this meme as ‘evidence’:
We can assume that this note was what Southgate showed to the players during the half-time pep-talk, taking no further questions, and indicating the strategy to bring forth victory. Well, by gosh, he bloody did it.

It's *because* the flags represent the unity of the country that they have to be banned.
This is a mere pinprick alongside all the other abuses that have been heaped on the native British population over the past decade and more.
People cry "hypocrisy" and "double standards", but it is nothing like as superficial as that.
It is the inevitable result of completely inverting natural law and giving all the power to the weakest in the name of radical "fairness". Once this victim hierarchy is established, with all so-called "marginalized groups" at the top, and the native British at the bottom, these actions are bound to happen as routine.
No logic needs to be applied; it is a knee-jerk emotional reaction. The illegal immigrants are to be fawned upon, the local citizens to be despised and harassed. BLM and Stop Oil can rampage freely through the streets during Covid; anti-lockdowners must be met with official violence.
Until we dismantle the pernicious idea that "we are all one", that there is no difference between a citizen who can trace their British origins back through centuries, and an illegal Somali boat person who arrived yesterday, this kind of humiliation will continue unabated - at least until Keir Starmer becomes Prime Minister, when it will increase exponentially.
