BuzzJack Music Forum _ News and Politics _ Government orders councils to fly flag for Andrew's 60th.

What do you think to this then?

Prince Andrew will be 60 on 19th February and No.10 has told local Councils that they must fly the flag on this day as they always do for all Senior Royals. Some aren't happy though.

Should they be forced to fly a flag?

I agree. Boris should leave it up to individual councils to decide what to do in this instance.

What does the government propose to do if any councils refuse?

This won't cause any problems in NI.....

Here flags can be a source of great conflict because obviously not everyone in NI views the British fla as the flag of the country do this would just cause unneeded conflict as unionist have another day they can fly the flag. Most councils in NI which are majority nationalist don't fly a flag and unionist majority councils fly it every day.

I really don't think they should have to at this point.
