Not stupid, true. I agree with Pat on this issue, Political Correctness is so OTT. A case which really pissed me off is this- a Jamaican lad who came over to the UK and worked as a council worker, decided to wear a bandana with the Cross of St George on it on his head, as he was proud to be part of England and wanted to be patriotic for his new homeland. He was given a court order that he was wearing a piece of clothing with an offensive symbol, and had to stop wearing it. The Cross of St. George, the f**king ENGLISH FLAG, deemed offensive to England? If that's not political correctness gone mad, I don't know what is. Hell ,thats not even just political correctness, that's just totally retarded, ass-backwards idiocy. If you find the English flag offensive, get the hell out of England, morons.

That is completely mad, but I do find the flag somewhat offensive nowadays. It just seems so goddam tacky, in part because of the merchandising of the design, something I find absolutely hideous when done to a nation's flag, and because of the association with chavs and hooligans. Remember when people pinned them to their cars during the world cup? It was horrible!
