Summary of petition
“Despite it being completely within his power to do it, Sadiq Khan has ignored requests from patriots who have called for him to fly the English Flag outside City Hall during this World Cup.
Whilst proudly flying flags promoting special interest groups at City Hall, Sadiq Khan has shunned the St. George's Cross, flying it just six times at City Hall, all but one of which have been St. George's Day.
We, the undersigned, believe our request of the Mayor is simple; fly the English flag outside City Hall during all major international football, rugby, and cricket tournaments in which England is competing. London is an English City and should express that with pride."
