Swampster Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 hehe.. Clinton Park.. formerly the bronx of downtown RAF Conignsby. Could understand it if maybe it was blocking somebody's view of the nice countryside.. Maybe it's a distraction to the RAF's flyboys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampster Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Funny thing about the article is they ocured the name and address on the letter, presumable for privacy concerns.. yet 2 lines underneath in big bold letters is the address again! And the article list their names.. Just to say, it was only till a couple of years ago you couldn't raise a pole/flag at all in your garden without planning permission. There were a whole litany of complaints during various football tournaments when the George Cross was often seen flying. They have since made exceptions to the national flags, and the Union flag.

Rich Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Political Correctness gone mad IMO! But then I've been saying for years that the PC Brigade needs to shut up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjoker Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Is it possible to get them on a technicality? Techincally, he's erected a rod and flag...not a flag and pole Its just some jobsworth gone to the extreme, according to one paper the only flags that are allowed to be flown without permission in this country are, National country/E.U. & U.N flags, Would the council be as quick to jump on some imigrants child flying a flag of their own country, somehow I dont think so. And before anyone replies to this question there is no racism intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but to be fair you've been banging on about fancying Wilma Flintstone for years too - and she's as fictional as the PC brigade too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I mean, I'm really...really...REALLY finding it impossible to figure out who actually would be offended by this, I mean, surely someone must have reported it? Or some council fella was walking by one day and saw it, but how can it offend someone so much, it must be reported? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
