  1. That may be so Merc, but still didn't stop people telling me the story. Like I say, 90% of what people know about law is what people they look up to say about it. People I look up to tell me stories of people being told not to fly them. I took it as a truth. I really can't be bothered to look up instances of actual fact, as it was meant 'tongue-in-cheek' anyway.

  2. I asked Chris who told him not to fly it; nobody did. I also would like to know, as I said, of instances where foreigners have actually been offended, rather than reading oft-repeated stories of jobsworths asking for flags to be taken down in case of such, which is all the linked articles are about. I know of, and doubt any of you do, one incidence of any Muslim - or for Chris's sake European- complaining about the flag. It's always idiot do-gooders making assumptions on others beliefs. And I mean always.

  3. Fish-face will get nowhere with this - let her prattle. I laughed when that Scottish MEP (don't know his name, don't care) stood up and said Scotland supported the EU, when it's a plain fact that nigh-on 40% supported Brexit!

  4. Thanks for saving me the time Pete! I've seen many articles like this. How true they all are relates exactly back to the reason I didn't vote... you can't believe anything printed in the paper, or on line, and only half you hear from the people who were there at the time. Personally it never stopped me from flying anything. Nothing was ever said to me personally to stop. Brings me back to another point I made... How can we be law abiding citizens if we don't even know the laws we are breaking? Without being a student of law, we simply can't, and have to rely on hearsay and [un]common sense.

  7. "We are in a prolonged period of economic adjustment in the UK, we are adjusting to life outside the EU and it will not be as economically rosy as life inside the EU," he told BBC Radio 4. We are absolutely going to have to provide fiscal security to people, we are going to have to show the country and the world that the government can live within its means. – CHANCELLOR GEORGE OSBORNE Asked if that meant tax rises and spending cuts, he said: "Yes, absolutely." This is excellent news, just what the country needs! I'm so pleased to be paying more tax, and having less money spent on vital services throughout the country! It's exactly what 52% of the country voted for! Isn't it? (sorry, I meant 52% of 72% of the country).

  9. I think the point of the referendum was that we join the world again.
