MY wife and I are absolutely disgusted that the Union Jack flag is banned from Burnley and Padiham town halls (LET, April 10) it is a disgrace!
Let us remember that this country was once referred to as Great Britain -- a country whose residents were born and bred and had been for many hundreds of years and were proud to be British.
Now we are a cosmopolitan outfit and people who in the last 60 years or so have formed the backbone of society have been discarded like rubbish, in favour of multi-nationalists.
Sorry to say, local councils and governments are allowing it to happen, because they are afraid of the backlash from a minority of loudmouths, supported by the do-gooders of society -- not forgetting the political-correctness idiots.
Let us show some support for our troops, many of whom have paid the ultimate sacrifice. Fly the Union Jack! To hell with the do-gooders and general idiots in society. Fly the flag!
MR and MRS K STANNARD, Redwood Drive, Balladen, Rawtenstall.
