They were giving away free stickers for your car number plate. Many new cars now come with &#8220;Euro&#8221; numberplates &#8211; little European flags on the left hand side of the plates. Having these plates means, I think, that you don&#8217;t need to put the sticker on the boot of your car. As a Mail reader, you no doubt despise Europe and everything it stands for, so covering up the Euro logo with either a Union Flag or Cross of St George is a must.<br \/>\nThe strange thing is that papers like the Mail are actively damaging the chances of the Tories doing well in the next general election. It&#8217;s not the Labour or Lib Dem constituency that these people are coming from, but the Conservatives. I&#8217;ll leave aside for a minute the stupidity of wanting to come out of Europe, or indeed the thinking behind voting in as MEPs people who don&#8217;t actually believe in the parliament that they&#8217;ve been elected to. UKIP are simply racist in my book, and stupid promotions like this encourages it.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve no problem with all the St Georges flags currently flying from houses and cars across the country for England, because I think that our national flag is slowly being reclaimed from the likes of the BNP, but there&#8217;s something very wrong with the thinking of papers like the Mail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday&#8217;s Mail on Sunday had a free gift that really sums up everything I hate about that company.
