Top Brass At Heathrow Have Lost Their Marbles
ARMED cops patrolling Heathrow Airport have been banned from wearing tiny Union Jack badges in support of British troops.
Top brass claimed the tie-pin badges - which cost £1 with proceeds going to the Help for Heroes charity - were OFFENSIVE.
But one officer asked: “How can the Union Jack be offensive?
“This ruling is even more absurd coming this weekend on the 65th anniversary of the D-Day landings.
“We must be the only country ashamed to display our national flag.” [ um, no. You’re not even the only English speaking nation that way. Well, at least where the bosses feel that way. ]
Pride
About 100 officers in the Metropolitan force’s SO18 Aviation branch, which patrols Heathrow, bought the inch-square badges.
Seventy per cent of them served in the Forces and many have children fighting in Afghanistan.
Another cop said: “We’re wearing the badges with pride. Most importantly, they are to show support for our soldiers at war.
“Nobody has put out orders to remove rainbow symbols that gay and lesbian officers wear. Why discriminate against us?”
A statement from the Met said: “The dress code states only approved corporate badging may be used.”
What, are your mooselimb overlords complaining? Is it now a thought crime over there to show any form of patriotism?
Help for Heroes is a charity that aids the returning wounded and disabled veterans. Good enough reason for me to spend a few bucks. I went and found the Help for Heroes website, but I couldn’t find these badges for sale. Similar pins and patches are easy enough to find, but none of the money goes to a charity.
Peiper, do us a favor please, ring them up and find out how to get hold of these things.
“TPTB” - aka Top Brass - won’t let the cops wear flag pins/badges, even when most of them are veterans themselves? British people, rise up! Stop your knicker wetting quivering and take back your country! 
Do you know that there is not a single bridge, overpass, or outside elevated walkway in the entire United States that does not have a US flag on it, usually one on both sides? And they are all fairly clean; each one has been “adopted” by someone, and those flags are kept in decent shape and replaced when necessary. Yes, it drives the leftists nuts. GOOD. We do it anyway. It started after 9/11, but nearly 8 years later it’s still going strong.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
