There was numerous complaints put in and the council tried to force the company owner to remove the paint, he refused and the paint is still on the wall.


If anyone tried telling me to take down a flag, if I put one up then they would be told to go away and grow up, I am English and I live in England if I want to fly a English Flag then I will and if it offends someone then that is because, they want to be offended by it and I am not bothered by it.

I don't care about people flying flags aslong as it's not promoting terrorism, and I don't care where someone comes from or what "higher power" they want to believe in, I don't believe in a "higher power" and aslong as they don't try to force it on me then I let them be, just as I won't try and force my belief of there not being a "higher power" on them.

People need to stop blaming Religion for everything though, as it's not always Religion that causes this stuff but merely people not understanding something properly in my oppinion.
