You can have as many flags in your garden as you wish.
But you may not put a flag on street lights or on dual carriage way bridge for it to fly down and cause an accident.
I don’t like the idea of people spray painting flags but that’s not getting removed by council because it doesn’t cause the same level of risk that the council would be viable for.
Flags on lampposts isn’t seen to be an issue anywhere else. There’s also (as far as I’m aware) no reported issues of flags flying down, regardless of whether it causes accidents. Even then, if it’s not well secured, remove it or tie it properly, otherwise leave it, it’s the same amount of effort if not less than removing it.
Also telling people to keep it to their garden isn’t going to help. The problem the right have is that they feel that patriotism is being suppressed. Telling them they can be patriotic, but only in private (or something that “feels” like that), isn’t going to help that.
Flying a flag isn’t patriotism though, it’s virtue signalling. Virtue signalling on the behalf of racist agitators.
Also, the vast majority of these flags are made from polyester or nylon, neither of which are good for the environment so why should they be tolerated to be littered everywhere?
We wouldn’t tolerate bin bags being littered everywhere, but because they’re colourful bin bags it’s fine?
It’s not about the flags, it’s where they are.
