A crowd of pub-goers wearing England flags have been turned away from a boozer in Birmingham for refusing to remove the symbol. 

It comes amid a series of confrontations between groups putting up St George’s flags and rival parties attempting to remove them, instances that have at times turned violent.

The latest flashpoint has seen a crowd visiting the Manor Farm pub in Birmingham barred from entering for sporting the flags.

Initially, the person behind the camera appears to be informed by security at the entrance that individuals displaying the symbol are not allowed to drink at the venue due to a ‘simple rule by management’.

A senior staff member then approaches the entrance to confirm that if the person recording wishes to be served, he must remove his England flag.

She tells the group that she understands why people might be upset by the rule but reiterates the pub’s position on the matter. 

The YouTuber filming the interaction inquires about the consequences of wearing an England football shirt or a Palestinian flag at the pub, prompting the pub employee to escalate the situation by asking him to leave.

She threatens to call the police if they remain on the premises any longer.

By this point, a small crowd has joined the man filming, taking videos of their own and chipping in with complaints about the pub’s rules. 

One of the security staff then steps towards the flag-wearing patron and instructs them to exit the premises. 

The YouTuber warns the guard not to touch him and queries whether everyone at the pub wearing the St George’s flag would be removed.

The senior employee demands he stop filming the confrontation, to which he replies that it is legal to record video in such a location. 

The security staff then moves closer towards the group, forcing them back, and the filmer then calls the woman a ‘leftie s***bag’. 

He adds: ‘It’s your own country. You don’t even like your own flag. You’re vile.

‘You’re disgusting, love. You should be ashamed of yourself. Bye, you little leftie soft t**t.’

He slowly backs off the pub’s front garden but remains on the car park with the rest of the group, claiming it is ‘shared’.

The senior employee says this is not the case and orders the crowd off the car park. 

The YouTuber then seems to urge the ‘chat’, perhaps on an online live stream, to ‘boycott the pub’. 

Afterward, the senior staff member returns inside, and the man filming the video remarks on the decision to deny them entry, calling it ‘wild’.

He continues filming the scene as other drinkers chime in with their thoughts, while the security guard remains at his post on the border of the car park and the front garden. 

The YouTuber appeared to be getting a good deal of support from customers enjoying drinks in the outdoor section of the pub.

It comes after a man was left with a severe gash and blood streaming down his face after he claims he was attacked with ‘a glass bottle containing a lit rag’ just moments after putting up England flags in his home town.

Rival groups angrily clashed in front of migrant hotels as a wave of protests spread across Britain – with at least 30 demonstrations taking place.

The man, known as Louis, told police he was struck by the flaming object in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, as he and a group of others were hanging St George’s flags on lampposts and poles just after midnight on Saturday.

The person taking the video can then be heard saying: ‘Putting flags up, got petrol bombed.’

Seconds later, the video shows ‘Louis’ looking shocked and standing with blood running down his face and hands as he awaited emergency services.

The man behind the camera says: ‘Just finished the night, three hours of flagging – and our boy has been petrol bombed.

‘A petrol bomb was thrown at the car, smashed straight onto his head.’

The voice off-camera can then be heard calling those responsible ‘absolute scumbags’ and ‘cowards’.

Louis was helped by paramedics, before being taken off to Lister Hospital in Stevenage for treatment. 

Hertfordshire Police confirmed officers were called to reports of a man being assaulted in Fairlands Way, Stevenage, at 12.09am on Saturday, August 23.

The incidents came amid a growing drive for the St George and Union flags to be displayed across England in the face of opposition from the authorities

Chief Inspector Sarah Gilbertson of Herts Police said: ‘Officers attended and spoke with the victim, a man in his 30s, who had suffered a laceration to his head.

‘He was taken to Lister Hospital in Stevenage for treatment.

‘It appears that the victim was struck by a glass bottle containing a lit rag and sustained a cut to his head.

‘I know that this incident will concern people living locally, but I would like to reassure the community that this was a contained incident.

‘Our investigation continues, and anyone with information is asked to get in touch with police.’

There has been a growing drive for the St George and Union flags to be displayed across England in the face of opposition from the authorities.

It began when Birmingham City Council announced it would take down hundreds of flags put up on lamp posts in recent weeks by a group who described themselves as ‘proud English men’, but who would not reveal their identities.

The Labour-run authority said it was updating the streetlights and warned that ‘unauthorised items’ could risk pedestrians’ and motorists’ lives, despite being 25 feet in the air.

It sparked a furious backlash as critics pointed out that Palestine flags had been allowed to fly in the city for months, while the Council had also lit up its library in the colours of Pakistan and India on successive days.

Birmingham City Council also privately admitted it needed the ‘support of the police’ to remove Palestine flags from lamp posts because of ‘issues that have cropped [up] when we first tried to take them down’.

Then workers for Tower Hamlets Council in east London were seen taking down St George flags put up by the burgeoning online movement known as ‘Operation Raise The Colours’.

Yet the authority had previously refused to take down unauthorised Palestinian flags ‘because we believe it could destabilise community cohesion’.

Town halls across the country have since condemned the painting of St George’s Crosses on mini-roundabouts while West Mercia Police said it was investigating incidents in Bromsgrove as suspected criminal damage.
