Not only is there a ban of flags for certain occupational groups in Germany during the World Cup Championship, but also in well enriched Great Britain. According to a report from the Daily Mail, in Manchester more than 1,200 employees of a housing construction company have been prohibited from decorating their automobiles with English flags — out of worry that they might be considered racist.
Employees of the construction company received E-mails in which they were warned that decorating their cars with St. George’s flag discriminated against those who didn’t root for England in the World Cup. Managers of “Bolton At Home” in Manchester who administer 18,200 cooperative apartments declared that the employees’ cars must remain neutral so that every customer/renter will be treated with respect and without discrimination.
But an employee of the organization said: “It’s an absolute disgrace. All we want to do is show our support for the England football team in the World Cup but we are in effect being told it is racist to start waving the England flag. A ban would be bad enough on company cars but these are our own vehicles and we should be allowed to do what we like with them. This is Big Brother mentality gone bonkers.”
Another employee said, “People are decking out the streets and houses in England flags yet the bosses here are being killjoys in the name of political correctness. The message seems to be from them that we should be embarrassed to wave the England flag. Yet all of us think we should be waving the England flag with pride. Don’t our bosses want England to win the World Cup?”
The organization’s website displays, “Equality and valuing diversity are central to our organizational values.”
