[D. Ray]

It's official, flying the national flag in a 'diverse' part of the country
will now earn you a visit from the police.

It's hardly a Banksy*, is it! It's distinctly 'in your face', and the
objections probably had little to do with its loud pro-British theme. It
almost certainly should have had planning permission.
*He's just done another one in Islington.

Obviously not. It was done with the knowledge and consent of the
building's owner, for a start and could not be mistaken for criminal damage.

Er... yes.

Saw it on the news.

Would you give permission for a local art student to daub a copy of it
(however well executed) on your gable end wall?
