A family cafe is being forced to close down after the owners were repeatedly abused and called 'racist' - all because they put Union Jack and England flags in their food.



Tiny toothpicks with the flags have been inserted in fry up's since Cafe 164 opened in Hornchurch, east London, in 2016.



But Carol Brown and daughter Candy Merrett faced a wave of abuse - mainly from people who had never eaten there, recently.



Since the World Cup this summer the flags began to get a negative response, Candy, 30, said.



The mum-of-one said three to four customers every week have moaning about the one-inch flags stuck in their toast, sandwiches and Full English breakfasts.



On Thursday, Candy said she had received so much abuse on social media over the the novelty flags she will close the London themed cafe at the end of the month.  



Earlier this week, she posted on the cafe's Facebook page, slamming detractors, initially saying she would not back down.



She wrote: 'Patriotic and proud not prejudice.



'After two years of running our little cafe we have encountered our first disapproval from a couple of customers.



'Any of our customers, past and present will know that we send all our food out with an England or Union Jack flag in it, this is not to insult or induce any feeling other than Great British pride.



'We are a little London cafe, we are British, English and Londoners. We will not feel ashamed to put little flags in our food.



'We will not be stopping. We are patriotic, not 'pathetic' as someone called us last week. We celebrate our country.'



Candy said some people had been going into the cafe purely to throw the flags on the floor.



However, it was later claimed they were going to close.



One reviewer on TripAdvisor called Aoneilly complained: 'All they were interested in was picking up tooth pick flags that nearly got stuck in my lip.



'You shouldn't hide these tooth pick flags in food their dangerous and nearly chocked me, they seemed to get upset when I spat it out on the floor suggesting I go back to my own country if I didn't like it, which incidentally is East London.' (don t eat the flag retard)



But Nigel rushed to the cafe's defence, adding: 'Quintessential British cafe.



'Don't come here if you're following the latest fad-food diet, but if you like your traditional fare, this place is first class.



'And to all those who complain that serving your food with a little Union Jack is racist - go east somewhere else and leave those of us who love it in peace. I will eat here again and again and again.'



Commenting online, Richard White wrote: 'Anyone who finds this racist should be deported from the UK, regardless of creed or colour.



'They can have a good, long think about what it means to be British and all the benefits that entails.'



Out of 38 TripAdvisor reviews, 34 rated the cafe as 'excellent'.

I remember when the taliban were first ousted, some Afghanis were flying kites in celebration because the Taliban government had forbidden kite flying.  And I thought what a kind of crazy totalitarian society would do something as stupid as banning kite flying?



Well I look at some of the things the western left is doing these days, and I think I could actually easily see that kind of ban  here too.  Saying the flag of the very country you live in is racist and attacking a restaurant for putting it on food?  WTF  I think many of the prognazis may actually be as bad or worse than the Taliban these days.  WTF is wrong with these bullying assholes????

While "taliban" is an accurate comparison .... Sadly they are winning ... resulting in the incentive to continue and to take it all the way / go Full Taliban

I could understand if they were putting confederate flags in their food, but the Union Jack?



It's the national flag and symbol of Great Britain.

It looks like some tasty grub. And the flags a neat gimmick. I can't believe a good restaurant closed.

There's nothing wrong with the Confederate flag. It's been maliciously slandered as part of the spoils of war. The Confederacy didn't want to cede from the Union and tried dialogue every way it could to have its grievances addressed, which the North rejected.



It was a war about resources and wealth distribution-theft by the North. Slavery had very little to do with it.

Full English Breakfast.



You can go right through to dinner time on one of those.

A very heavy meal.

People will complain about anything.  I wonder when they will start complaining about flag usage in the Olympics?

[Bricktop]

On my recent sojourn to the old dart, I notice a lot of English (as opposed to British) flags flying. Many regard this as a racist provocation.

I've heard that,  but why?

[Bricktop]

The Scots fly their flag. The Welsh and Irish likewise.



English people therefore fly the English flag. However, to people from other nations, it is seen as a racist gesture. It dates back to "white" England.



Sorry to say the UK is in a very sad state.
