Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick flies Union Jacks from lamp-posts and blasts 'pathetic' councils threatening to remove national flags
By DAVID BARRETT, HOME AFFAIRS EDITOR
Robert Jenrick has raised Union Jacks across his constituency as he attacked ‘cowardly’ and ‘Britain-hating’ councils which attempt to take down the national flag.
The Shadow Justice Secretary said local authorities which failed to back displays of the flag were guilty of ‘pathetic disdain for Britain and its values’.
Mr Jenrick spent yesterday evening flying Union Jacks on lamp-posts in his Newark constituency, with the help of a team of volunteers.
