An Englishman walks into a pub… and the joke ends there because this one didn’t even get through the front door.
Why? Well because he was carrying a dangerous object that this establishment has deemed to be grounds for entry refusal.
No, it wasn’t a knife or any other weapon. It was the English flag. The Saint George’s Cross. The flag of the nation where the pub is located. The flag that adorns the kit of the England football and Rugby teams.

The two…ahem security guards flanked the Karen running The Manor Farm Pub in Birmingham, telling the man and his friends that they couldn’t come into the pub for a drink because they were carrying “protest materials,” and the pub was not “taking any part in these protests.”
She is referring to the fact that English people all over the country are putting up English flags and Union Jack flags in protest of continuing mass migration, the use of hotels to house illegal immigrants at taxpayer expense, and the explosion in crime attributed to foreigners.
As the exchange became more heated, the men at the pub were asked to leave and accused of trespassing by the management.
The video of the incident has gone viral with over 10M views on X alone, and now the pub, operated by Greene King, is facing massive backlash.
People who think it should be ok to display the flag of England in England have review-bombed the pub on Google and Trip Advisor.

They even got it edited to be listed as a “Mosque” on Google.

In response to the backlash, Greene King issued a statement doubling down, and asserting that their pubs are intended as welcoming spaces for socialising, not places to get caught up in protests.
They confirmed that managers have the right to refuse entry and do not permit materials linked to political protests, requiring customers to remove such items.
However, they emphasized that this is not a political stance on the ongoing debate about the St George’s flag, and wearing football kits like England shirts is still allowed.
The incident perfectly encapsulates why those raising the flag feel the need to do so.

The two main purposes of carrying a flag (any flag) are (1) as some form of protest or (b) to show which footie team you are supporting. Since both types of people are likely to engage in potentially violent brawls when drunk, it makes sense for a pub to stop people carrying flags from entering. Besides, pubs are private spaces, which means, they are allowed to deny entry to anybody for any reason, or no reason at all. They can deny entry because they don’t like your clothes, your haircut or any other feature of your looks. That includes, clearly, carrying a flag.
Points “1” and “b” eh? Your comment exposes your stupidity from beginning to end. Fuck off, Maria.
May I suggest The Farmers Dog instead. Leave turncoat traitor pubs in the dust.
They like the competition and wanted to send business their way. Capitalism works.
