British Culture with a Burka and a Hijab but Union Jacks and Farmers? (1 Viewer)

Grendel · Jul 17, 2025

This can be moved but I am not sure what this would go into.

So a school in Rugby has a "Diversity Day of inclusion" in which "cultural clothes" were encouraged.

Those in traditional gear were allowed but not someone in a Union Jack dress or it seems Welsh flags. Nigerian flags were.

I know people are going to make the accusation on the Union Jack childs family as some rumours old Tommy Robinson is leaping on it. But surely this is what the Far Right will if cultural inclusion is actually excluding the culture of the country we live in?

All pretty mad to me. The Farmer? Oh some kid turned up in farmers clothes including a flat cap. Offensive it seems....

I like the fact the father had got his company logo on his van in all the press videos. And she's going to do her 'speech' in London with T*mmy R*binson apparently!

Nearly a grand on the go fund me aswell. Grift grift grift!

Which has only happened as she was banned and told to go home.

The only redeeming feature is that it's like an antidote to Greta Thunberg.

*edit - hopefully she'll go down by tractor and sit revving it in Central London.

Seems the kind of hoopla that's very easily avoided and has no reason to exist.

Yes, all avoidable all round

The girl shouldn't have been banned irrespective of where your political views lie. Its a fucking dress with the country's flag on it

rob9872 · Jul 17, 2025

Should have worn a Palestine dress ....

(gets tin hat for cover )

Why the outrage. If i was banned from going to school for a day I'd be buzzing.

When I tried to go to school in a union jack dress I was in trouble.

I was 38 and it was a random school.

That would probably be allowed to be fair or it would be transphobia

Hopefully not the one you spend your afternoons at peering through the gates

Did you get a zig-a-zig-ah?

Being sent home from school just for wearing a Union Flag dress is baffling. It’s the kind of story where you assume that something else is going on behind the scenes, but the school doesn’t appear to be disputing the stories.

Kind of surprised that multiple kids would turn up to a small secondary school in Rugby in niqabs as well!

SkyBlueCharlie9 · Jul 17, 2025

Clearly a daft decision by individual at the school, but the dad knew exactly what he was doing and set his daughter up which is even worse. Sad 'story' all round.

The immigrant who was at my kids school the other year was about 38 trying to pass as a 16 year old and got away with it

Two of my Granddaughter's attend the School,there are a fair number of Syrian and Afghan refugee children who are at the school....all very well behaved from what I'm told ( Daughter worked at the school until very recently).

I dunno if it’s “even worse” but I think you’re probably right re the motive. However, also can’t argue that if it’s a ‘cultural day’ it’s a cultural day…

It’s stupidity from the school and the teacher who went along with it.
