'Absolute disgrace!' Taxi driver's outrage as UK council bans his Union Jack flag
A taxi driver is in battle with Shropshire Council over bizarre ruling which stated flying the British flag was 'in breach of advertising standards'.
An outraged taxi driver has hit back at a council that banned him from flying a Union Flag from his car.
Basil Brockhurst, an ex-Armed Forces serviceman who runs Basil's Taxi, is locked in a battle with Shropshire Council, as representatives have told him not to fly the United Kingdom's flag from his cab.
Mr Brockhurst already flies the flag from his Shropshire home. The property is also laden with Remembrance Day decor, including a metal "Lest We Forget" sign proudly displayed on his front fence.
But he has struggled to keep similarly patriotic attire on his car, including two UK flags that, on the surface, would seem uncontroversial.
