Outcry as Cornish Flag is BannedThe Cross of St Piran, Cornwall's national flag, is to be banned from flying in public. A ruling from the Government has declared that only 'national' flags are allowed to be flown in public - any other flags will require planning permission. Anyone wishing to fly an Albanian or Estonian national flag from outside their home or business are entitled to yet patriotic Cornish face prosecution if their flag is flown. The planning minister Keith Hill made the comments in an answer to Cornish MP Paul Tyler. Mr Tyler said the move showed discrimination. The Cross of St George is considered a national flag and may be flown. Cornish councillors now face the prospect of having to enforce the umpopular ruling. People are already protesting vowing to fly the Cross of St Piran in defiance. The first victim of the ruling will be the county council who fly the flag outside their offices all year round. The newly-concocted Devon flag was mentioned in the ruling. The move comes at a time when Cornish identity is growing and accusations of racism are being aired. |
