To my horror a Palace flag

I was driving back to my house and a few houses up from me someone has a sodding Palace flag. I'm talking about a proper flag on a proper pole. I'm not making this up either, they seem to raise it when Brighton are playing. It's bringing the area down, it also looks tacky. How can I get this flag removed legally?

It's not the first time either, a few months back I saw someone walking along the road in a Palace shirt.

This is Sussex and we are Brighton & Hove Albion, not bloody South London

If there's a Palace fan living there, probably.

I can't possibly condone criminal damage / mindless vandalism, but (assuming the OP resides in the Brighton area) then this Palace knob is asking for hassle. He probably thinks it hilarious, but the joke will wear quite thin when some aggreived knucklehead chucks a brick through his window or keys his car, as he trudges home from the Amex, after yet another 1-1 draw against shit opposition.

Take out an injunction - I am sure there is law which prohibits demonstrations of bad taste in public

The Spurs one flying between Newhaven and Seaford needs burning down. Respect to the Patcham resident who has a BHA one on the flagpole in his front garden and also the caretaker at Downs Junior School, who often runs a BHA flag up the school pole during half terms/weekends.

Dogshit through the letterbox? Classy yet understated.

On a side issue...I was walking down the pier a couple of years back when I saw a young man with his little "firm"swaggering along in a Palace shirt. As he drew adjacent with Victorias a bare torsoed youth came sprinting past, decked the Palace chap with an elbow to the nose then continued on his merry way.

I would expect the same if I was to go parading along Croydon high road in an Albion shirt I suppose. Highly stupid thing to do.

Can it count as indecent exposure?

Up until October 2012 it would have in fact been illegal to fly the flag of any sports club without Planning Permission.

Is the said flag or flagpole breaking any other planning laws?!

No! No! Let's do this one in style. Am I right in thinking that you need planning permission to have a flagpole on your property (ditto with flag attached). If this is the case bombard him with all the administrative bumff available, contact the local planning authority, protest to your local M.P., alert Brussels, train a flock of seagulls to shit all over his house, car and him or her.

If this is not the case - revert to Plan A.

Been looking at that. Anything to take this down legally.
