When Robert Jenrick escaped across county lines

Lawmakers should not be Flyposters

Today I am most amused by Kemi sacking Robert Jenrick.  I tried to grass his for fly posting ages ago but he escaped across county lines like in a Western.  He really is one of the worst poo stirrers in the Conservatives ... Or was...

Edmund,

Thank you for your Online crime report to Nottinghamshire Police re the post on Robert Jenrick of him raising a Union Jack flag.

There are no laws which say this countries flag cannot be flown. If the relevant council have an issue with where this flag was erected, this is for them to deal.

I have viewed the post and there are no criminal offences for Police to deal.

It is not flyposting as you suggest. Flyposting is pasting / sticking flyers to walls, buildings etc and you could not report this from a different county by seeing a post on Social media, the victim which would be the council for the area would have to report this. Flags cannot be flyposted and this is not illegal.

Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Hello

It surely is flyposting since the position of the government is that all flags constitute advertising and the permission of the Highway Authority must be gained before hanging a flag on the road?

Anthony,

It isn’t, I don’t know what more I can say.

As stated below, there are no criminal offences.

If the local council have an issue with it, then it for them to deal.

You , as a person living in another county also cannot report this as per crime recording rules, if there were a crime and is isn’t.

Also, as I stated it is not a criminal offence to fly flags of the UK in the UK.

I will not be answering anymore emails as I have explained now in two emails that this is not a criminal offence and there is nothing for Police to deal.

Me to Juliet Bravo:

I'm pretty sure that if I started putting posters on lamposts I'd be prosecuted 

no matter if I used cable ties or adhesive

like the many people who own a cat called fluffy

However, I was previously unaware that one could avoid justice by simply crossing County lines like in a Western.  

Thank you for this useful information
