I did wonder if this would come up on the boards I live in a National Park, and even outside of the National Park, some of the towns and villages fall within "Conservation Areas". If anyone painted a mural on ANY building either within the National Park or in any Conservation Area, it would attract the attention of planning officers. A mural on a building inside a National Park would almost certainly be ordered to be removed, a mural in a "Conservation Area" could very well be deemed as been "Not In Keeping" or "Inappropriate" and could be ordered to be removed. The fact that the mural is a Union Flag has no bearing on the issue what so ever Greenwich is a historical part of London, and Devonshire Place and surroundings are mostly Victorian, with some Art Deco buildings, there are ancient buildings close by, including historical monuments. It is not an area which could be described as "Over Commercialised", there are no other such hordings, murals or even billboards. If businesses painted such murals on the walls of my village, or in the nearby market towns, I would want to see the planning officers demand they be removed. To be fair its not in 'that' part of Greenwich ,its on the high street opposite the sewage pumping station . Can't see a lot of harm in it myself . |

I was watching Talk TV and it was their phone in, one caller said he applied for a job and on the application he put his was 'English'. They said 'sorry you can't say you are 'English', we'll put 'British', he said he was fuming and said ....... "so if I ask you what language is spoken in Britain what would you say"? ....... they said 'English' .... FFS this woke snowflake diversity has gone completely off the scale. I have said this before my wife who is English when filling out an NHS form in Scotland noted that for English the only space available was 'other British'. Scots was there, Welsh was there, Black British was there, Irish was there but no English. They cancelled the operation for a few hours until her blood pressure came down. The English are gradually being cancelled within their own country it is not woke it is a damned disgrace that no other group would be expected to put up with. |

Google streetview from less than 2 years ago shows no such mural and it is an eyesore in my opinion. LINKAs JoG says, if he wants a flag, get a flagpole. Otherwise it's arguable graffiti in a reasonably nice area of London. |
