Farages violent Britain

I was on a team that has been tasked to take down the flags around my area, we work with a police protection and a private security firm. I left it as there was so much agro involved it wasn't worth it, plus I fully agree with the flags on the lamp posts and see no reason why they should be taken down. Although we still have the team they have actually taken down very few of them due to the protests and local feelings that are provoked whilst doing it. I love my job but I am not paid to face this abuse trying to do it and upsetting people when there is no need.
What is the councils ( or who ever you work for) stand on why they are needing to be removed from a lamppost. Apart from getting in the way of Christmas decorations.

At first they used the excuse that they was a danger, this was silly as there was no danger, we refused to take them down due to the public outcry when we did. They then agreed to leave them unless they interfered with the flow of traffic or the performance of the light itself. In their defence though, we do not allow anything to be hung on lamposts that is not supposed to be there including advertising stickers or notices other than planning permission notifications, street signage, EMP cameras, CCTV and xmas decs.

Stickers advertising cannabis dealers have appeared on my local lampposts in recent years. I remove them as soon as I see them.

Do the police and councils do anything about this actual crime I wonder? The perpetrators would be easy to catch, there are contact details on the stickers.

Sometimes they get a warning letter sent to them with the threat of legal action, I recall quite recently a lady had placed a number of posters on the lamposts around her neighbourhood with regards her cat missing, although we should have taken them down we left them for a number of weeks to give her the chance of finding her cat.

You should start taking it….you might be less angry

I don't see giving advice to anyone to take drugs is good advice. It is like me telling people to take steroids to increase muscle size. Very innapropriate and not in the least bit sensible.
 
You might want to tell that to the Reform head of the council, who posted a video recently stating that there was a need.

To put up the Christmas lights in the town.
So that the local businesses could enjoy better footfall and trade.
Indeed...

The Council leader said they they were being taken down so that "I will not deprive our towns and villages of their Christmas lights, which are key drivers of local pride"

I thought that was the aim of those half mast england flags?

Mind you when he said that he "gave permission for flags to be removed in "specific" locations", by allowing any flags to remain he'd be condoning law breaking.

That is the issue. It opens it up for anyone to start putting things on lamposts, Lamposts are not meant for any other purpose than to be a functional item. Some ornemental posts are actually seen as preserving our history.
 

It's not Farage spreading division. It's actually the politicians who are treacherously overseeing the mass immigration of millions of third worlders against the wishes of the saner majority of British people. Haven't you seen the savagery committed by recent arrivals? Blair, Torys and Starmer are guilty of instigating this savagery and the division that follows. If you're determined to live in the muslim world please go and live there. Please don't try to inflict it on us or try to blame Brits who are understandably at the end of their tethers - you support this madness, not them.
