UK energy tycoon to keep flying Palestine flag in defiance of ‘shadowy’ legal threats

LONDON: Green energy tycoon Dale Vince plans to keep flying the Palestinian flag at his company’s headquarters, saying a “shadowy” group of pro-Israel lawyers is forcing local authorities to remove them across the UK. Vince said he would fly the flag at the Ecotricity headquarters in defiance of Stroud district council, which told him he needs to seek permission as Palestine is not recognized by the UK. He said as Palestine is recognized by 147 countries, the flag counts as a national one — which can be flown without permission — rather than an advert, as Stroud council suggested.
