Rejected petition I want Government to make a ruling about the flying of the English Flag.

I would like the Government to make a ruling about the flying of the English Flag. Are we allowed to or not?

There are stories about people being shouted at and threatened for flying the English Flag. This has become worse over the past week.
Is it an offence to show your country flag?

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

The Government has already produced a plain English guide to the rules on flying flags:

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
