I have to say this sounds completely mad but then it is Brighton.

Uproar as council bans union flag exhibition over fears it could offend minorities

Union flag exhibition at Brighton library axed over concerns it would cause offence

[languagetimothy]

Yeah well, i expect Brighton hás rainbow or even palestnian (whereever that is cant Find it on a map) ones. Personally if i was running the council id have put many UK flags up and waited for the fun to start which would include saying things like FRO you annoying tt, giving them a wedgie and have security throw them out the door. Maybe video it get a bit of cash from YouTube.

Maybe they cancelled it out of fear offending people who actually like the union flag?

To be fair in Bristol that may well be a minority (just kidding before anyone gets fatally offended).

All sucked into the virue vortex.

When you look at who put the exhibition together, and who blocked it, at best it's a bit of blue-on-blue nuking of an exhibition because someone didn't understand it, and at worst it's some white paternalist offended on behalf of exactly the people they just blocked from having an exhibition.

Bit pathetic blocking the exhibition really isn't it, however you look at it?

You'd never guess the country is circling the drain would you. Must be stuck for things to do!
