I was wondering what the general opinion is regarding the removal of our St George`s flag from our streets recently ?
In my local area a few flags were put up on lamp posts and within two hours the Council ` anti social `team were removing them .
Apparently it was because they did not want to send the wrong message to the refugees who have taken over a local hotel .
I personally think it is our right to display our flag. It is England. It is our country .
Can you imagine this happening in America ? No chance.
They are also proud of their country and their flag is everywhere.
Interested in everybody`s views on this.

Welsh humour at its best.

We were driving along the motorway a couple of days ago and there were flags attached to the overhead bridges. Some had become partially detached. I wouldn't like to be driving along if one of them became totally detached and landed on my vehicle.

There is a 70 mph dual carriageway near me with two flags on a footbridge. This could become dangerous if they came off and shouldn't be placed in a location like this. Otherwise I have no problem with flags in people's windows and gardens.

Yes Oreo, the Jolly Roger as it will be Hallowe'en soon enough. Still prefer bunting.

We drove through Brandon in Suffolk today. There was a very long stretch of road with Union Jacks on the lampposts on either side of the road and it looked fantastic!

We had been through there two weeks ago and there were quite a lot, but far more today. 👏
