The Liberal Democrats, who control Oxfordshire County Council, have once again shown their illiberal credentials and dire lack of political judgement.
The Liberal Democrats on Oxfordshire County Council should have been hoist by their own petard
They decided to spend what could be tens of thousands of pounds of taxpayers’ money in legal costs persuading a High Court judge this week to impose an injunction not only on a handful of individuals said to be associated with a group called “Raise the Colours”, but also on any “persons unknown” who may seek to place Union flags on public property in the streets in the future.
Firstly, what sort of politician bans the England flag during the football World Cup when people are flying it proudly from every vantage point?
Why would any politician seek to send an aggressive political message that they dislike the flag of the very nation whose people they have been elected to serve?
