A Welsh hotelier who was been forced to temporarily remove a Union Flag flying outside her hotel in Llanfairpwll, Anglesey, is now under pressure from the local council to move the flag poles closer to her hotel so visitors understand that it’s nothing to do with the residents of the village.

The hotel flies both a Welsh Dragon and Union Flag at equal heights from poles outside the hotel grounds on the hotel’s land.  Residents weren’t content that the hotelier had already broken the flag flying rules by flying another flag at the same height as the Union Flag instead of in an inferior position and started a campaign to have it removed.  The hotelier eventually caved in and took the flag down but has since had it put back where it was.

Since putting the flag back, she has received a letter from the local council trying to convince her to move the flag poles closer to the hotel so that visitors understand that she is the one flying the Union Flag, not the village or its residents.

I personally don’t care much for the Union Flag and you won’t ever find it flying at my house but if this woman is a unionist then she should be allowed to fly the national flag of the UK if she wishes.  There is no law against it and she doesn’t require permission to fly it.

Looks like the “shared values” argument isn’t winning over bittoted sheep sh Welsh people.
