Although if you follow the link provided, the ITVx ‘headline’ is somewhat disingenuous. What the leader of Warwickshire Council actually said was, and I am paraphrasing, but you can always check it yourself;
“wet flags and powered Christmas lights may not be a good combination, so they need to come down for now”; but and this is a direct quote "Then, in the New Year, residents are encouraged to put their flags back up - fresh, tidy and in good condition.
That was[sic]* we honour our flags properly, rather than leaving them to rot.”
And suddenly the entire narrative changes doesn’t it? ITVx aren’t actually lying but relying on most people not bothering to read past the first few lines.
Remind me, what’s that quote associated with Cardinal Richelieu?
"If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him."
* presumably a typo for 'way'
