The U.K.'s Press Association says a jail watchdog has declared the English national flag to be a potentially racist symbol and forbidden corrections officers from wearing tie pins with its image on them.
Officers at the Wakefield prison wearing pins with St. George's cross on them will no longer be allowed to do so after the chief inspector of prisons, Anne Owers, said she was concerned by the display.
"While we were told that these had been bought in support of a cancer charity there was clear scope for misinterpretation, and Prison Service Orders made clear that unauthorised badges and pins should not be worn," she wrote in a report on the prison.
