I HAVE recently returned from New York, where the Stars and Stripes were to be seen in shop windows hanging from windows, and even on car aerials.

America is multicultural, more so than England. Yet when the Union Jack is on display here, the order is to remove it in case it offends other nationals.

There is something very wrong here, have we not to be proud of our country? Or is it just another attempt to brain-wash us into accepting the European Union.
