Petition Not being allowed to have our national flags up in our own country.

More details

I'm making this petition because i feel it is ridiculous that we the people are being told by our local councils that we have to remove our flags, as it offends people.

Something needs to be done about this, i have my flag up everyday with proud of an item that represents my country and who i am.

Flags are a very British way of expressing joy and pride – they are emotive symbols which
can boost local and national identities and strengthen community cohesion.

Id like the government to over rule the local councils and allow people to be able to put there national flags up without being told they have to take them down.

below is the law of having a flag up.
