👏👏👏 Kudos on several levels! If this turns out to be a hoax we'll be very disappointed. What a stark contrast to the response from Wakefield Council to the "unauthorised erection" of flags there!
Disgraceful! A patriotic flag shagger who dedicated his time to illegally putting up 64 flags is being charged £2,300 for the cost of taking them down. If it wasn't so funny I'd be furious.

The Titanic hit an obstacle (iceberg) and sank, with the loss of a lot of lives....
Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances. A new decade-long Brexit study explains it: a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.
Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.
