It looks like when your parents leave the TV on “fit” setting and all the 4:3 content gets compressed vertically to fit the screen.
For headline-only readers, the dispute was with a QR code on a previous (smaller) flag promoting his Fly The Flag website, which the council said was an unauthorised advertisement. It was never about the flag itself, and they have no issue with this new giant one.
Other sites are framing this as a middle-finger to the council from a guy who’s just being patriotic.
Flag companies in china must be making a killing this year, I wonder if they even know why?
Some factory manager is probably getting a nice bonus because union jack sales are up 386% since last year
It kind of sounds like the developer thinks he’s being clever when the issue the council had wasn’t with the flag but that the previous offering was also advertising one of his commercial ventures.
Just because the right wing get offended by rainbow flags doesn’t mean the left gets upset by the Union flag.
I mean, this rather looks like the flag being used the way it was during the 1800s this does. To stamp private interest on public land.
It looks bloody awful – gaudy and completely out of place!
Just someone who put a flag up as the council wouldn’t allow advertising on his previous flag. What a dick!
Yeah fair play to the council here, they were only bothered because of some advert he had on the flag itself I think.
Now he’s put a massive one (minus the advert), the council are fine with it –
“Chesterfield Borough Council confirmed Mr Holmes’s new flag does not breach any planning rules and therefore would not be removed.
A spokesperson for the authority said: “It’s evident that Mr Holmes is keen to recognise our national period of Remembrance, which is something we also value highly as a council.
“We did contact Mr Holmes in relation to the previous union flags on the front, and on top of the building, as these advertised a commercial website and are therefore classed as unauthorised advertisements.”
Seems like media bait meant to sow divisiveness.
The flag was put up in response to rememberance day, and is neither related to reform UK or the council’s objections with the previous flag.
Man exploits council and media to gain even more free advertising for their website.
He sounds like a prick. He was using the flags as adverts, was told he can’t do that, so now he pretends that it was the flags themselves that were the issue whilst the council has no issue with the flag so long as it’s not just a giant advert.
The really annoying thing is that as far as I can tell he doesn’t even live in Chesterfield, he lives in Dore. So he’s bought a big building in the town centre and turned it into an eyesore to create some culture war nonsense that other people have to put up with.
If you go on his Facebook page and look in the comments he’s clearly gone down some right-wing American rabbit hole. There’s loads of replies to his stuff taking the piss and he has these mad rants challenging people to ‘debate’ him.
