St George's Cross is the English flag (the British flag is the Union Flag).
But yes, banning people from showing/flying it is very stupid.
Some overly politically correct people seem to only associate the English flag with football hooligans, the BNP, stuff like that, and/or think that showing it is going to offend ethnic minority groups [even though, at least in this case, a spokesman for the Muslim community said that there is nothing with showing the English flag
]
As someone said in another thread, we need to reclaim our flag from the thugs. You should be able to fly the St George's Cross without being branded a racist. EDIT: See this post onwards -

Yes, that is good
Political correctness does go too far sometimes (as shown by this).
