I am afraid to say some of my "friends have joined this" www.facebook.com/home.php#!/group.php?gid=122816717742919.

Please report it.

I can't find anywhere where this banning of the England flag and wearing of England tops has been reported in the media. I think it is just another hyped up facebook group designed for BNP supporters to express their ignorance.

My friend on facebook put a post on his wall:

'Police are not and will not be banning people from wearing England tops, waving England flags etc. If you have a brain, try using it.

Copy and paste this dummies!!!'

Priceless

Copied from that group's wall;

Danny Squires a dun mind ppl hu r coloured hu liv here hu r english n tlk it buh its thm turbun wearin divvys am gunna wear my england shirt no one can du ne thng2 minutes ago · Flag

What. The. Blue. Fuck?

Cos his Englsh is great, isn't it

cupcakesandbunting · 19/05/2010 23:16

Fuckinell I could post reams on this shite but I'll rein myself in, don't want to bore MN off the internet but I'll just comment on this one thing...

I am amazed at how these twatty BNPers have totally skewed this non-event story to fit in with their racist ideals. Police suggest that publicans can ban team colours being worn on match days = muslims and blacks are offended by it so we are kow-towing to them and whose country is it anyway?

Anything else you want to blame the muslims for? Got a tiny cock? Yep, it'll be Islam's fault, coming over here taking our big cocks.

AGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

lollopops · 19/05/2010 23:17

Most of my family and in-laws have joined this group.

Most of them are non-white.

Bizarre.

lollopops · 19/05/2010 23:25

I wish they would make an announcement on like the ten o'clock news or something, but they won't

cupcakesandbunting · 19/05/2010 23:31

They wouldn't believe it anyway, lollopops. I joined a similar group ages ago to tell them that the Met' issued this advice, not any one race/religious group objected to it and they were all "yh but y r thy doin it 2 pls da muzlimz innit braaaap"

They need to justify their racism. It's just another autopilot response like "they take our jobs" or "they take all of our houses" They need to justify it so they will distort anything to make it fit with their shitty argument. Personally I'd like to see these BNP-arse-lickers fuck off on a boat. I'd go and wave the morons off.

lollopops · 19/05/2010 23:42

braaaaaaaaaaaap

I think you're right though cup, just another excuse to pedal ridiculousness :P

pigletmania · 20/05/2010 00:01

My goodness the ignorance of people. Who is saying that the England flag offends them, only the PC jobsworths who have nothing better to do in local councils.

vesela · 20/05/2010 08:57

Bloody hell, that group is scary. 122,000 members . Is that a usual size for racist FB groups?

If any of my friends joined that, I'd defriend them pronto with a message telling them why.

Elvisina · 20/05/2010 09:35

OK, I've just deleted 4 fb 'friends' who have joined these groups. I'm bloody furious! I've been too 'nice' in the past giving fb friends the benefit of the doubt when they've made dodgy comments but no more! New rule! Dodgy views = deleted.

wahwahwah · 20/05/2010 09:37

This is why I haven't joined 'Faceache'. Too many nutjobs on there.

vesela · 20/05/2010 09:45

It's gone up to 129,000 since I wrote that two hours ago!

MrsFawlty · 20/05/2010 09:49

DH just removed two friends who joined this. Helps sort the wheat from the chaff, dunnit?

TheBride · 20/05/2010 10:01

OMG- that group really is populated by people from the shallow end of the gene pool isnt it?

I used to do a lot of bar work and we routinely banned football colours on match days. Bit harsh to the many fans who just wanted to come in and have a drink wearing their strip but it did prevent big kick offs in the event that there were neandethals who decided to start tribal warfare in the middle of the pub. The police were recommending this approach even then (wont say how long ago but it was pre-mobile phones)

ShadeofViolet · 20/05/2010 10:10

good grief

I had an invite to this group

ShadeofViolet · 20/05/2010 10:11

sorry, that should be

PfftThePinkoLeftyDragon · 20/05/2010 10:14

I can't believe that people believe this bollocks.

Join my group! revolt against the gullible!-

vesela · 20/05/2010 10:17

It's every racist cliché you ever heard, passing before your eyes...

With the occasional funny piss-take ("The Muslims are stealing our dictionaries")

and this from one bold woman:
Even if the police wanted to ban England shirts, they wouldn't be able to. Why? The European Court of Human Rights would prevent them from enforcing such a ban. Yes, that's right, the EU does care for your right to freedom of expression.

actually there should be a FB group based around that last argument.

ShadeofViolet · 20/05/2010 10:19

'Were giving up our freaking country to foureners this is just outragus'

Honestly!

MrsLevinson · 20/05/2010 10:21

Not related to banning flags, but this is another facebook group that looks as if it started as a 'joke' and has attracted all sorts of racist arseholes.

vesela · 20/05/2010 10:22

(although obviously it should make it clear that the ECHR isn't the EU)

Clearly Muslims stole his dictionary too, Shade.

MrsLevinson · 20/05/2010 10:23

Sorry, that link didn't work.

PfftThePinkoLeftyDragon · 20/05/2010 10:23

Well the appearance of these groups has made me finally find my voice and comment on a friends decision to join one.

Good at sorting the wheat from the bigotsI think.
