London Mayor Sadiq Khan has implemented a ban on taxi drivers flying England flags during the European Football Championships. The decision has sparked significant backlash, with critics accusing Khan of double standards. Writer and commentator Tom Bewick labeled the move as 'virtue signalling from the regressive left,' while others highlighted the allowance of Palestinian and other foreign flags. Historian Rafe Heydel-Mankoo described the ban as part of a 'war on Englishness.' Russell Quirk noted that 'Palestinian and Jihadi flags are fine.' The decision has ignited a debate on the symbolism and significance of national flags, with some pointing out the tolerance for a motorcade rally displaying hostile group flags.
