>Tonight we will be lighting the Library of Birmingham green and white to mark the eve of 77th anniversary of Pakistan's independence day on the 14th August.
>The bin strike has been going on for over six months now, btw.
>BIRMINGHAM UPDATE; following England and Union flags appearing across the city 'in what those responsible have described as a patriotic move', the council have issued a safety warning about flags lining the city's streets.
>The @brumdispatch reports a message from Cabinet Member for Social Justice, Community Safety & Equalities Cabinet Member Jamie Tenant that suggests the council is banning England & Union flags for political reasons.
>Peak Birmingham Council is lighting up the library in the colours of the Pakistani flag hours before threatening to remove some English and Union flags because they could 'put lives at risk'. They've actually managed to surpass my expectations of them and that's an achievement
So, is brit/pol/ spoiling for a fight?
>There's been Palestine flags on lampposts up Stratford Road for months now.
>Exactly. No statement threatening to remove those ones (let alone actual removals)
