St. George and the Racist?
"A black dustman has been banned from wearing a St George's Cross bandana because council officials say it could be regarded as racist.
Matthew Carter, 35, who was born in Barbados, used the headgear to keep his dreadlocks out of the way while he was on his rounds in Burnley, Lancs. He had done so for seven months before his photograph appeared in a local newspaper. A number of local people complained, and his superiors called him...
Mr Carter still wears a bandana but one that bears the image of a skull and crossbones."(The Telegraph)
Utterly, utterly absurd.
