Labour council ‘breaking law’ after hoisting pro-trans flag

[IwantToRetire]

A council has been accused of breaking the law after erecting a trans-inclusive Pride flag outside its town hall, The Telegraph can reveal.
Hackney London Borough Council has hoisted the Pride flag each February and July since summer 2020 to mark LGBT+ history month and London Pride.

However, activists and Christian lawyers claim the Labour-run authority, led by Caroline Woodley, the mayor, is breaching the Local Government Act because flying the flag is a “political statement”.

Do you lack reading comprehension?

They are not complaining about a pride flag. Their original comment related to a completely different flag thread and they even admit it in the post you quoted. You can get off your high horse now.

I wonder if those few now Reform led councils are a positive explosion of red and white.

Not forgetting that St George was Turkish.

So all these people flying "English" flags are actually supporting migrants / refugees!

Has a council ever flown a suffragette flag, like. Ever?

It allows all sides to say "What part f 'no flags' do you not understand ?"

Well now's their chance as it seems to be flag season. Why not ? Drown out the racists ?
