THIS IS SO TOTALLY STUPID ONLY FOUR LETTER WORDS SHOULD APPLY. I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS. NEITHER WILL U

HOW DO THINGS GET THIS SCREWED UP?  HOW ABOUT A FLAG THAT REPRESENTS YOUR FAVORITE FOOTBALL CLUB? IS THAT ADVERTISING?
THIS IS PLAIN NUTS! THE COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO ARE GIVING THIS GUY A HARD TIME REALLY NEED TO BE SERIOUSLY STRUNG UP AND THEIR BODIES LEFT TO ROT AS A WARNING TO OTHER WOULD BE JERKS.

AH ... I HAVE PROVED TO MYSELF THAT EVEN WHEN REALLY UPSET, EXCEPT RE. MY COMPUTER, I CAN WRITE AND VENT AND NOT USE FOUR LETTER WORDS.
I JUST THINK EM.

NOT MY COUNTRY, NOT MY ARMY FLAG.  BUT I’M PO’d. ??  I GUESS I’VE READ TOO MUCH HISTORY OF THIS PLACE AND DON’T SEE ANY ARMY OR NAVY OR MARINE FLAG AS ADVERTISING.  I SEE EM AS PROUD SYMBOLS OF THIS NATIONS HISTORY.

MY WIFE HAS NO COMMENT THAT I CAN PRINT HERE. SHE’S A BRIT.  RIGHT NOW, AN ANGRY ONE.

Council orders man to take down Army flag flying outside his house… because it’s ‘advertising’

A patriot flying the British Army flag outside his house was told by council killjoys to take it down - because they considered it advertising.

Dave Dingvean today branded the order to remove the military colours as ‘treacherous’.

Mr Dingvean, 46, a volunteer for the British Army Association who raises money for the charity, was told any national flag was acceptable - but not those of our nation’s armed forces.

Furious: Dave Dingvean branded the council’s order to take down the Army flag as ‘treacherous’

And if the demolition contractor failed to comply, council bosses said he would face enforcement action which could end up in court.

Outraged Mr Dingvean, from Tolleshunt Major near Maldon, Essex, said: ‘A friend gave it to me and I decided to fly it to support our troops.

‘Someone must have seen it and reported me because within two days I had a letter from the council telling me to take it down.

‘They said only a certain type of flag is permitted to be flown - any national or state flag is allowed.

‘So I can fly the flag of Iraq, Baghdad or Afghanistan but not the Army flag. It’s ridiculous - it’s a show of support.

‘It’s a cause I feel strongly about.’

In protest, Mr Dingvean is now flying the national standard of Saudi Arabia on a flagpole outside his semi-detached bungalow, as he is flabbergasted this is allowed under the rules.

He added: ‘This is treacherous. It is petty minded - they are not thinking about the troops. No one in the village has complained to me.’

A council spokesman spokesman confirmed that under the Town and Country Planning Regulations 2007, only a certain type of flag as stated by the Department for Communities and Local Government is permitted to be flown.

He added: ‘Unfortunately, this flag is not one of them and the council have advised the resident that this is the case.

‘The council would be more than willing to advise residents on such issues in the future.’

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
