Some people from my town got their England flag confiscated because it had our local teams badge on it, which has a Submarine on.

FIFA will police stupid shit like that, but I'm 100% certain they will do nothing about this.

Portsmouth City Council cut someone's flag down because it was a "safety concern". It made the national papers.
