English Taxi Driver Accused of “Breaching Equality Laws” For Having English Flag Sticker On Her Cab


From the UK Express:
A TAXI taxi driver has been banned from having a St George’s Cross sticker in her cab – because it could discriminate against foreigners. 
Patriotic Denise Said, 56, has three English flag signs stuck on the doors and boot of her vehicle. But after one complaint from a rival cab firm she was stunned to receive a letter from the council accusing her of breaching equality laws. 
Teignbridge Council in Devon said the stickers would leave anyone who is not English at a “disadvantage in their day to day life”. 
The local authority says it will refuse to renew Denise’s license in February unless she ditches the stickers. But the veteran driver of Newton Abbott, Devon, has vowed to keep flying the flag and says there’s nothing offensive about them. 
Furious Denise said: “I think it’s pathetic. I believe the council is implying that I am racist but nothing could be further from the truth. 
“I’ve had a few foreign people in my cab and I’ve asked them if they find it offensive and they don’t in the slightest. In fact, one told me ‘your country has gone mad’.
