General Election Thread on 11:23 - Jun 24 with 2026 views | Sonofpugwash | The first election where foreign flags are being flown instead of the national ones. As for "National Service".Why would you want to fight(and die) for a country whose national flag is so openly vilified? | |

More pertinently, why would would you want to fight, and possibly die for political power mongers? | |

The FGTH "Two Tribes" video got it right... let them wrestle and sort it out amongst themselves. Cowards, on all sides, who are happy to send thousands to their death. | | | |

For info, flags have been banned on taxis since 2011. That was when Boris Johnson was mayor and responsible for TfL. | |

General Election Thread on 17:26 - Jun 25 with 1408 views | Logman | I'm not the biggest fan of Sadiq and detest the way he gets on a soap-box about things which are outside of his remit as the Mayor. However, I do think it's good for such a multi-cultural city as London to have an ethnic minority Mayor. With regards to the general election we love shooting ourselves in the foot in this country, don't we ? Brexit was one big mistake and now that Rishi appears to have done a pretty good job of keeping interest rates low we are about to kick him out. Feel sorry for those with loans/mortgages when inflation and interest rates go through the roof under Labour. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Pride flag wasn't banned though, was it? Whatever your politics, it's pretty incredible that taxis can't fly the flag of their own country in the country's capital in support of their team. I think it sucks. | |

Being wrapped in a rainbow flag is obviously different from flying one. Are there any traditional black cabs left that aren’t covered in ads? | | | |

Whatever, the simple fact is that the reason Khan has used to ban taxi drivers flying the flag is that it might distract motorists. Do you really buy that? It's utter hogwash. I'm amazed people are actually defending this clearly politically motivated decision. | |

That isn’t a displayed flag that’s commercial wrapping. If the FA want to wrap a cab in a England flag that’s fine. See below for example: | | | |

As was said above,it was Britain loving Boris who banned flags being flown on public transport in 2011 when he was mayor. [Post edited 25 Jun 20:56]

As if we motorists don't have enough dangerous distractions. Like signs saying If You Dare To Drive Down This Street, We'll Fine You £70. Because it's a wealthy street and only residents may drive down it. | | | |

No, I'm stumped, when looking back at most government's tenure you can come up with something worthwhile and maybe the furlough scheme but that's it I think. | | | |
