We are British, not mutinational, and we want our country back. Deport those who disagree with UK culture.

Ban Shropshire council Green Party members, disgraceful attitude

[markjones]

I am ex servicemen and live in Shrewsbury. This is absolutely disgusting. I shall be writing to Shropshire Council to complain. We should be PROUD of our flag and country. If it offends anyone Tough. Go live somewhere else.

[nwlly]

That Green councillor should not be in public service. How DARE he describe the UK flag as "divisive" in our own country!!

I'm a Pole living in England for the past 17 years, I find it shocking what is happening here lately!!! We live in Britain you should be encouraged to display british flag, an not penalised for it! If people are offended that is their problem, they can look away. I wonder when those inclusive people will ban money because it displays The Queen and soon King's face??? Enough is enough, well don Basil!!!

What an absolute utter disgrace! SHAME ON THIS COUNTRY! This is the flag of our nation! HOW DARE THEY!

[stevenporter]

Well at least it’s exposed what the Green Party stands for.

[guyvaughan]

As an ex Army man myself this sickens me. How the hell can national pride be considered as “Divisive” anyone who dislikes it can get the hell out of the country

Not being allowed to display your own flag is a sign of foreign occupation.

[si]

That is a ridiculous policy. It is not against the law to display a flag.

[takeapictureitlllastlonger]

We have been through too much to just let our countries crumble and be disregarded. Fight back fly your flags proudly.

[strangeknight]

Disgusting, I'm a Welsh man and fly the union flag with pride. It's a symbol of the four great nations of the United Kingdom and nothing to be ashamed of.

[realistxxx]

The councillor complaining must resign. The rot has to be stopped. This is our country. If people don't like it they are free to leave. Nobody is stopping them.

[ukusanz]

A proud man being denied the right to show his patriotic feelings being let down by a bunch of morons. Good on you Basil, keep up the fight against stupidity

[stuartalexander]

Discrimination against the indigenous British. The Green Party have now shown their true colours.

[MrJudgementday]

I find it bizarre that having an image of your nations flag on a taxi could be construed as divisive. Only in the UK. As for the green councillor, I think he needs to just leave Britain, he highlights what is bad in the UK

[valpotter]

We are ONE nation amd should be allowed to fly the BRITISH FLAG.Well done Basil.

[jimmy]

Any person against displaying our flag in our country can leave and should not be in any government job.

[transformforever]

This is pathetic. How dare they do this especially when it's ok to display other countries flags without a problem.
Sick and tired of this rubbish

[Lt.GonvilleBromhead]

If our flag has become 'divisive' we have been conquered.
