Nationalist Group Raises White Flag: England Flag Controversy Settled in Oxfordshire A high-stakes battle over the display of England flags in Oxfordshire has come to an end, with the leaders of the Raise the Colours campaign agreeing to cease their flag-raising activities. The local council had taken the drastic measure of securing a high court injunction against the group, which had been hoisting St George's flags on lamp-posts across the county. The injunction, granted after a hearing on Tuesday, now prohibits Ryan Bridge, Ben Cullen, and Trudy Wells from raising flags on county council property, encouraging others to do so, or interfering with council workers' efforts to remove them. The decision marks a significant victory for the council, which had faced criticism for its handling of the flag-raising controversy.
