On what grounds did they tell you to take the flag down?
Only ask because my parents live in Haywards Heath, and have a large St George flag on a 25 ft high flag pole outside their house!!! And no ones said a word.....

On the grounds that those from minority groups may take offence, yes they didnt even mention the word ethnic, which is a joke in its self considering i am of mixed race

"MAY TAKE OFFENCE?"
For f***'s sake, we are living in England, its our national flag....
Jesus, in America, where I lived with my family 15 years ago, EVERY SINGLE HOUSEHOLD has a Stars & Stripes flying outside their house!! It was an object of pride, not of embarrasment as it is over here
Been hijacked by hoolies and racists over the years admittedly, but for the council to give that reason is outrageous

Some lease or rental agreements prevent the hanging of washing or the flying of flags (any flags) from the windows. I was round for a few drinks last night with a friend who is forbidden from "beating rugs or carpets outside" as well.
Dunno why a planning department would be enforcing that, though... unless it was such a big flag as to require planning permission.

Quite so although there's a new PC contraversy over there now as well. People who live in my wife's neck of the woods (AKA 'Dixie') prefer to fly the old Confederate flag to 'Old Glory' as a show of Southern Pride. They take great exception to being called 'Yankees' (it's akin to a Scotsman being called English in fact). However, it's very hard to buy a Confederate flag, why ? It's politically incorrect as some White Supremersist groups rally to the same flag. In fact, people have lost their jobs for having a Confederate flag tattoo.
What's that got to do with the price of beef ? Well, sadly, the BMP and their ilk are big on the Cross of Saint George as their symbol. Hence, on both sides of the pond the fanatic PC brigades will see bogey men where people are just expressing their pride in their homeland.
Now I know that Americans are perenial band wagon jumpers but the attitude of this council frankly disgusts me. Tell me please do, we have to make allowances for Ramadan, Passover and all yet do Jews, Moslems and all other minorities go to work on Christmas Day ? Jeeze I know that in many places in America they can only say 'Happy Holidays' as 'Merry Christmas' is deemed racist. I guess it's only a matter of time before that happens here.
Sorry if I sound like a bigot but religious tolerance should work both ways, you don't have to be white to be a racist.

Come to Huddersfield. The lights have been put up in the streets for about 3 weeks now. They say 'Happy Celebration'
They were put up for Duvali (Hindu celebration) left in place for Ede (end of Ramadan) and then suffice for Christmas.
There are no lights with reindeer or holly shapes etc as images insult the Muslims so they are all nondescript snowflake sort of shape.

Yes, and if you have the temerity to say 'Whose country is this ?' you're immediately a racist. f*** it, let all religions celebrate their festivals in their own way and let others do the same.
Damn it ! Merry Christmas !

I've never heard a Muslim person say they are insulted by Christmas images. But what's wrong with letting everyone join in?
