This is insane! What is wrong with the British flag/ If people do not like the flag or it offends them they can move to another country!
The council should not have done this to him, this shows a complete bias against the flag.
Some people in this country feel their culture and heritage is under attack with Flags under attack, Christmas being removed from titles and Nursery Rhymes such as (Three Little Pigs )being banned in schools!
All to appease a certain demographic, whilst stripping us of or Culture, fair? I think not.
A council tree surgeon has been stripped of his job after erecting several hundred union flags on an A-Road in Cambridgeshire.
Billy Crotty attached more than 300 British flags to lampposts on the A1198 near Royston.
Steeple Morden Parish Council has now cancelled the arborist’s £9,000 contract to remove conifers.
It said the decision had been taken as it is a ‘politically neutral’ body and ‘felt it necessary to withdraw the contract’.
Mr Crotty insisted that the local authority had done the opposite of remaining neutral in making a ‘political judgement’ on his signs.
He told the BBC he didn’t want to ‘intimidate’ anyone, but admitted that the flags were at least part of a protest against illegal immigration.
‘I’ve got five children to feed so it is a bit of a worry.’
Council chair Nick Badger said that Mr Crotty’s flag raising had generated ‘intense press interest’.
He said: ‘As a parish council, we are a non-political organisation and as such we remain neutral on the matter, and therefore felt it necessary to withdraw the contract.’
It comes as a campaign group has been charged more than £2,300 for erecting 62 English flags in Scarborough, North Yorkshire.
One ‘patriot’ part of Operation Raise The Colours has now been told he must pay £36.27 per flag plus VAT towards the cost of their removal by the local authority.
A letter to the group from the council said that it would pursue costs irrespective of whether the activists wished to retrieve the flags.
It continued: ‘Additionally, the outcome we are also seeking is that no further flags are erected, to avoid any further safety issues and so that we do not have to spend more of our limited resources on this issue which would be better deployed elsewhere.’
Operation Raise The Colours has spent the weekend in France trying to slash boats migrants are using to cross the channel.
At one point, they filmed themselves being chased from a migrant camp and having stones thrown at them.
