Staff working at a jail ... have been advised against wearing St George's Cross tie-pins. A report into Wakefield Prison said the English national flag could be "misinterpreted" as a racist symbol.
I'm not a massive fan of the St George Cross, as I was born in Scotland (as were my mother and sister) and my Dad was born in Wales. However even I can see that this is utterly ridiculous. Our flags are not racist symbols and should be displayed with pride. A person who continually apologises for himself is never respected. The same goes for nations.
