Still the best of Scotland
Filed Under M&S | Leave a Comment
Marks & Spencer are still knocking out their occasional “Best of Scotland” range.
Has anyone seen a Best of Wales, Best of Northern Ireland or Best of England product for sale?

Volunteer(s) needed
Filed Under About Fair Flags | 1 Comment
The Fairflags campaign is on hold as I simply don’t have time to do justice to the campaign although I still believe the issue needs addressing. I am currently heavily involved with the Campaign for an English Parliament which is far more important than Fairflags.
Fairflags really needs a dedicated volunteer to run the campaign. If someone comes on board I will try to assist as time allows.
Anyone sharing the campaigns aims can submit an article or photographs of offending packaging to me secretary@ the domain of this website.
Anyone interested in the wider issues facing England today should seriously consider joining the CEP.

A couple of developments
Filed Under About Fair Flags, Tesco | 2 Comments
Some good news. Tesco have started putting the Cross of St George onto some of their English cheese packaging (Not 100% sure if this the same as the previous story or whether there’s a trend).
Presumably as a result of a “sustained campaign” to get this “banner of historical oppression” onto Tesco products.
FairFlags still needs your help. Please keep plugging away at the supermarkets and let us know how your getting on. Be as involved as you like.

There’s a new supermarket chain coming to the highstreet – ASCO.
Despite the fact it is selling predominately English produce from as far as I can tell exclusively English shops, straight away they’ve gone for the establishment line of promoting it’s British credentials.

From an article in the Grocer.
He added: “If the nation embraces the product and shows their support for English fruit farmers, then we’ll consider launching a series of English conserves in the near future.”
The 454g jars, available in Waitrose now, have labels inspired by the St George’s Cross to flag up their “100% English” credentials.
I for one will be making a special trip to embrace this product!

“Celebrating Great British Food” – England Hating Tesco Continues To Suck Up To Scotland And Rams “British” Down English Throats…

Another very interesting article over at Why England Needs a Parliament.

An interesting article on Wales Online trumpeting Tesco’s commitment to offering local produce (are they an advertiser by any chance?)
Here’s an extract with a highlight added:
With interest in “buying local” growing stronger, Tesco is to make it even easier for customers to identify the provenance of their food with new packaging covering produce, meat, dairy, chilled, frozen and bakery items.
It will include the flag of the country of origin and in many cases the name of the county. With some produce and dairy items there will also be information on the grower and producer.
Tesco also works with local suppliers at major food events across the UK and the teams are looking for even more producers, especially in English regions that may lack the strong national identity found in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Fascinating stuff. What flag for the “English regions” eh? Please read the whole article and feel free to leave a comment.
And should you feel inclined to remind Tesco that people in England also have a strong national identity, here’s how.

Dear Sirs,
I would just like to point out that your logo has the Union flag within
the outline of the English the fruit you promote.
The correct flag for English produce and England is the Cross of St
George.
Yours faithfully.
