UK High Court Moves to Ban Display of English and British Flags
2nd August 2026
A Liberal Democrat council has secured a High Court injunction that effectively bans the unauthorised display of the St George’s Cross and Union Flag on lampposts and public highways across an entire English county.
What began as a grassroots campaign to raise the colours of the nation has been declared a threat to community safety, with the full force of the courts now deployed against it.
Oxfordshire County Council, run by the Liberal Democrats, won its landmark case after months of legal action against the Raise the Colours campaign.
If you can’t fly your country’s flag, it isn’t your country any more.
Democrats would love to do the same in America, I have no doubt.
I thank God every day that I don’t live in Britain.
