a case of a rural conservative council displaying its institutional bigotry? or was it right for the council to uphold its non-partisan flag policy?

OG is trying to be polite.

Jordy, you having a coming out party?

[Mamyalynne]

Fair enough.

[Gromit]

Well put your peccadillo away.

[gness]

Ooo can't be doing with shocked and appalled........I'd attack my stash of wool and yarn bomb the lamp posts.....much more fun......☺

[DTCwordfan]

If you have ever swum in the Thames at Abingdon or nearby, I would refuse to fly any flag, no way could you ever hold a pennant up of whatever colour or denomination.....

[Jackdaw33]

I'm sure peccadillo is a type of chutney. Think I've got a jar in the cupboard.

[stuey]

My thoughts and prayers go out those those truly shocked, appalled, and utterly devastated by this horrendous decision. I have sent a cluster of gaily coloured posies to be placed at the base of the offending flag-pole.

[Jackdaw33]

Are the posies pansies?

[DTCwordfan]

No bloody wonder with this lot.....

[stuey]

No, Rose's: I stole them from the lady next door's garden.

[DTCwordfan]

you risk being sent to Ozzy land, stuey......

[stuey]

In that case, I'm off across the field to escape...Cheers.

[DTCwordfan]

have a Molly for me then......

/// Oxford Pride chairman Robert Jordan accused the council of "backward" thinking and said it showed inequality. ///

How can it possibly be inequality, has the council ever flown a heterosexual flag?
