Reform UK council removes St George and union flags over safety fears

Durham County Council, led by the Reform UK party, has decided to remove flags and bunting displaying the St George's cross and the Union flag due to safety concerns. The council stated that the strong rope used for the bunting was found to be a potential risk, and they prioritized public safety over the community's desire to express national pride. The decision has sparked controversy, as the removal of national flags has become a contentious issue across England.
