Flying the flag for Beckham & Co
North West Tory Euro MP David Sumberg is calling on all councils through-out the region to fly the St George’s flag outside public buildings in support of the England football team.
“I think it would be an extremely supportive gesture from the North West and would be a great boost to the team as they try and win the World Cup,” he said. “We need to get behind the squad and show how proud we are of our nation. The World Cup is the greatest sporting occasion on earth and we should be pulling out all the stops to show our support for the national team.”
Mr Sumberg made the call following a successful campaign by Wirral Tory councillors Les Spencer and Chris Blakeley to have the St George’s flag flown outside public buildings in the borough.
