Get a load of this, Ham. A collegue of mine (God knows what he was thinking at the time!!) stopped one such car and told the driver to remove the English flag because it was RACIST!!!!!!! Can you believe that?

Frankly the answer is YES. UK police officers are so afraid of being accused of racism we tend to go overboard and over compensate. The irony is that a lot of our Asian community on South Tyneside are driving around displaying ...........yes, you've guessed.....ENGLAND FLAGS!!!!!
