I notice on the Council's website there is a front page ad for the small
grants to support parties all over the Borough. Take a close look at the
pictures and you will see that nationalistic (red,white and blue) bunting is
prominant rather than the drab municipal bunting that has been handed out
all over the place. Is the Council ashamed of its own bunting?
Cunning volunteers at the charity I work for have recycled the Republic of
Newham's bunting. The drab old flags are detachable leaving a good strong
cord to which red, white and blue triangles have been attached. Both the
French and the Russians can now join in the fun.
