Now this really annoys me. Any building in the area which puts up a flag pole requires planning permission from the council which I think we can all agree is common sense if those are the rules.

So when a pub is ordered to take down a 'rainbow' flag (used as a symbol of gay and lesbian 'pride') as it had not sought planning permission, it is deemed "deeply offensive to lesbian and gay people"!!

Political correctness 1, common sense nil.
