So, who is offended???? Its simply a mark of respect for a dead policeman who got killed on duty, if that offends anyone well tough. Its another case of P.C gone mad in this country.

Its not a Union Jack, granted. Its the thin blue line badge of the C.O.P.S., the charity  Care Of Police Survivors. Its just a badge that is a play on the Union Jack, nothing to be offended at surely?

 Perhaps I overstated it with offended , I would prefer them to officially wear the union jack on their uniform and we as the British public could support them for their service.

I get what you are saying, I suppose they chose that badge to cause the least offence, and still it does!! Can't win really can we. The union jack offends, the poppy offends, St Georges flag offends,  we have a government leader who won't sing the National Anthem. Britain is dying, all its ever stood for and been proud of is slowly being wiped out by Political correctness.
