Closed petition The Protection of right to fly the English Flag
Closed on
I wish to petition the British Government to protect the right of the English people to bear the colours of their country, England, in whatever form they so desire, be it flag, banner, shield, etc., that tastefully and respectfully promotes England and the English people, on their homes, their vehicles (private or business), upon their persons, etc., etc. In short anywhere, without penalty of any kind whatsoever, and without first requiring permission to do so. That any unsubstantiated or anonymous accusations of offence or any assumption or presumption of offence caused by such usage be totally ignored and shall not be acted upon. That any official complaint of offence caused by anyone, must be either settled out of court on the principle that a person has the right to face their accusers and mediate. On failing this, that such accusations must be tested in a court of law, before any other action is taken. On the basis that a person is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
