Though I donāt think the right across the water are erecting proscribed organisation flags yet. It has been happening for years in NI without a flag being removed or those erecting them charged. Though in NI some proscribed organisations are more equal than others as per recent pensioner arrest.

In NI, flags fly freely, particularly those of proscribed organisations with no removals, sometimes police watch them being erected. Though we do arrest pensioners wearing T-shirts that support other proscribed organisations. Classic Animal Farm alive and well in our patch.
