<irony> Down with UK flag *in UK* ! Hail brave councillors! </irony>
It's hardly a Banksy*, is it!
Obviously not. It was done with the knowledge and consent of the

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.
