Rejected petition Change the English football team kit to include the cross of St George.

I would like our government to realise it isn't illegal to be English, and recognise that we are all proud of our flag and what it represents.

More details

I think it is unacceptable that the FA and the corporate world can change a nations national flag without considering the implications on our national identity.
