A couple of developments
Filed Under About Fair Flags, Tesco | Leave a Comment
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.

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.
