Nigel Farage has said Sadiq Khan “hates England” after London cabbies were banned from flying England flags during the European Championships in Germany. GB News has the story.
The Reform U.K. leader, who is seeking to enter the Commons as the MP for Clacton, accused the London Mayor of “hating England” after TfL warned the capital’s 125,000 taxi drivers face harsh penalties for flying flags.
In a four-word social media post, Farage said: “Khan really hates England.”
TfL announced its ban, which includes other symbols and flags, amid concerns it could distract drivers and other road users.
TfL guidelines state: “Breaches of regulations could lead to a formal sanction – such as a warning, fixed penalty notice, prosecution or licence review.”
A TfL spokesman added: “For the safety of all passengers and drivers, we have guidelines about what can be displayed in or on taxis and private hire vehicles.
“Only official signs and stickers can be displayed.
“Any other signage or flags are not permitted because they could cause a distraction to other drivers and other road users.”
