My 21-year-old daughter really entered into the spirit of the recent Jubilee celebrations, watching them avidly on TV and buying a Union jack T-shirt.
Last Friday night, she was refused admission to a club in Brighton, apparently because she was wearing the aforementioned T-shirt.
I assume this was because, on the night of the England football team's victory over Argentina, anyone wearing such apparel was considered likely to cause trouble.
In this increasingly violent world, I suppose one has to have some sympathy with this attitude.
But have we really reached the point where, just a few days after the jubilee celebrations, wearing our country's colours immediately brands us a trouble-maker?
If so, I find it really rather sad indeed.
