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.

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.
