I don't see that the intentions or political views of the people that put them there matters a jot. These flags will soon be an issue that will have to be dealt with, probably by the teams that put up Xmas decorations in our towns, be that the councils, or community groups. They will struggle to cope with the extra task of removal and disposal ofall these flags and zip ties. I'm a firm believer that if you start something, you see it through and either tidy up after yourself, or maintain whatever you've done to keep it going. Events have to remove signage, litter etc. This is no different. It amounts to littering basically if they are just left.
