There is a ban on all flags being flown from vehicles. The ban has been in place since before Khan became London Mayor.

You have to hand it to the right wing press though. They sure know how to rile up the idiots with complete non-stories.

This ban was put in place by Boris as well

Thank God H&S has stepped in for us to bring to an end the needless loss of life that always occurs around these tournaments by people being "distracted by flags".

The Flag Awareness Group have been campaigning for years without their voice being heard. Hopefully, now, their moto, Where Flags Fly People Die, will become household and this senseless loss will cease.

If you are interested in joining the cause, just google how do I enter theFAG, and you'll get loads of tips.

Nice bit of homophobia there.

You know what you've done. What the group you made up is abbreviated to. How that is a derogatory term. What you have asked people to Google.

If anything, it should be you explaining yourself.

bet there aloud too fly woke palenstine or ukraine flags though

It wouldn’t happen in Manchester because most of the minicabs are registered in Wolverhampton and do what they want and the taxi drivers would just ignore the ruling

Palestine and Scotland flags are still permitted

Can't believe they have banned WHITE people from flying ENGLAND flags. How is this allowed and why white people??

I'd be very surprised if the instruction came straight from Khan? no opinion either way on it but he wont be involved in everyone of the thousands of decisions made every day in London by all the depts?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

TFL have had this rule before Khan.

Not only that but so do most other councils eg Birmingham, Shropshire etc

The issue of "distraction" isn't just in the visibility. Drivers had those mini clip on flags that attach at the top of the window. Which is fine whilst the window is closed. But open the window and the flag goes flying. This is a distraction if your behind and it hits your windscreen. Or a cyclist o a pedestrian.

Look I was officer manager for a cab firm for 2 years. With a fleet of 700 cars. I used to hear this from drivers all the time. What they never mentioned is that rules have existed for a to long time where any other insignia apart from what a council deems fit, has to be applied for. As in a written request. If it's reasonable it is allowed. What you can't do is just add it.

Each local council has many other council plates taxis in its area. So Birmingham could and will have Wolverhampton plated taxis running in its borough. Wolverhampton rules will be different from Birmingham ones. As long as an operator has an operating license from a council they can operate anywhere.

I'm stoke, you will have Ashfield council, Wolverhampton council, Newcastle council and Stoke council plates cars operating. Each council has different criteria for its cars and even the size of the letters on stickers etc.

Taco drivers as a rule make a fuss but if a flag went flying off a car I guarantee he/she won't stop to pick it up

Telling that the Tory reacts to the debunking of this story not by disapproving of disinformation that aims to stoke culture wars, but instead shifts the goalpost to have a go at health and safety gone mad.

I'll tell you what flags they should ban. Those England flags that have 'England' written on them.

Says a lot that those in the Dailymail comments pointing out this has been in place for 10 odd years are all downvoted.

People happily rejecting the truth so they can instead faux outrage.

Can't believe far right Khan has banned Pride flags from being flown from taxis. What happened to free speech?

I am all for the England flag ban though. I am not against people supporting England but we don't need it forced down our throat everywhere we go. Do it in private and it's fine.

It also actually goes against my religion to support England but I guess that doesn't matter these days. Religious beliefs deserve more respect.

Agreed. Who the fack uses a taxi in this day and age? #Englandinthedarkages

Terminal cancer patients FORBIDDEN from flying "Cancer Research" flags from their taxis.

Heartless Khan announced the ban which some have labelled as cruel.
