SugarPlum 6 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Anyone see in the record today the union flag has been banned at McVities (coincidentally the royal wedding baker) as a female complained saying she would bring in a tricolour if the union flag remained up. According to McVities it had sectarian connotations. This is utter madness... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacecowboy 92 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Morrisons in coatbrig told to remove UJ bunting from store today also as its was "causing concern"Must be the only country in the world where flying your national flag is seen as "offensive" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SugarPlum 6 Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Afraid it's not a joke. The statement from McVities reads: "the management team have reflected since the decorations went up. They decided some are not appropriate, in light of their direct connotations with football and sectarianism in the west of Scotland. Other decorations remain up however."

Bluenose1986 703 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Maybe now the media and everyone else can see who the real small minded bigots are.My mum works in there and she asked someone why they were so against it and they claimed they were anti royalists then moaned that a picture of the pope wasn't put up for his visit, you couldn't make it up Then the point my mum made was if you're so anti royalist then why don't you forego the day off work the factory has given them and they had no come back for that.unreal, totally unreal.

SugarPlum 6 Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 I struggle to understand how a flag representing the UK can cause offense in the UK, to people who live and work in the UK, and in a week where the eyes of the world are on the UK to celebrate the wedding of a British Royal. What's so difficult about that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
