I had seen the request to remove the EU flag, but hadn't seen the follow-up. Chef's kiss.
@asmodai the ”suck it bitches” response, absolutely perfect.
@asmodai Yeah, CoE flag, like around 27,000 people said on social meeja. Really you'd expect Oxford to be able to afford a professional planning enforcement officer who was capable of reading the flag protocol.
(Yes I know it's difficult to recruit planning enforcement officers - it's a job in which *everyone* you come across hates you - but even so.)
@asmodai Absolutely perfect. Well done Catherine Bearder.
What's most depressing is what seems ("Oxford City Council has received a query about the European flag being flown") like a member of the public raised it. People really can be morons. The Venn diagram of morons and #Brexit voters overlaps a lot too.
@asmodai They say that the UK is a democracy, it is a petulant toddler. She can fly whatever she likes
@asmodai And some people want to rejoin? All the EU has to do is point to this article and laugh at this Little Britain council.
What IS your problem?
@asmodai British English can be so disrespectfully polite. I love it.
@asmodai Wait - the UK even has a right to deny you a flag which you install on your own private property?
