England.

It is always lovely to see in sports around the world, supporting their country with their flag.
I watched the tennis, over the weekend and to show their Support, the Polish people proudly showed their flags. The Americans, did the same, on Sunday the Spanish fans did the same and for the winner, of Sinner, his fans waved their Italian flags, with pride! That’s what I would have been waving if I were there.
In the news today, a school they had a Diversity Day. What a Great way to celebrate the many different cultures we have here in England. That’s another good thing about these events at school, it is like a hands-on, learning experience for the other children to learn something different they didn’t know about each other. After all, we can all learn something new every day, IF we are not narrow minded.
Courtney Wright wore a Union Jack dress; you can’t get more English than that. One of the Spice Girls, famously also wore a Union Jack dress.
The child age just 12 was removed for wearing it and put into isolation until her dad came to get her. She felt embarrassed for being British. She, like the rest, had done her homework and would have spoken about my personal favourite, Fish n Chips, Shakespeare, Tea, and other British things!
Yet unfairly, other children were allowed to wear their burkas, niqabs and traditional Nigerian clothes. So, the children were denied learning about the country they are in, England.
Can you imagine the headlines if the child wearing the burka was removed from the class and sent to isolation for breaking the rules of the Diversity Day? Heads would roll! Cries of racism would be shouted from the roof tops! The parents would sue the school and probably the government too, and win! We would not hear the last of it for months! I wonder what those young 12 years old now think of England now? That it is bad? That the Union Jack is wrong? What a Bad impression the school has made on their young lives, this putting down, the Union Jack, they will not ever forget! Shame on that School!
It never seems to amaze me, how this is the only country in the World that HATES their own flag! They are completely ashamed of it.
I can only assume that those that hate my English flag were Not born here. I was born here; so, I naturally LOVE my Union Jack!
