Somehow I suspect it would end up going extremely slow PK 
And we all know just how popular that little concept is. 
Skull and Cross Bones?
Seriously, I donāt get offended by that or much else. Maybe some people have too much time on their hands.
To me I saw a lot of my Grandadās War Photoās as a youngster, much to the disgust of my late Dadā¦but it is not something many can just brush offā¦including me. I live in a Country that many will not forgive or foget and I see why.
So the Nazi Flag will always make me think of the sheer brutality of the War.
Nazi Flag=Hitler

God knows why anyone would want a swastika in their bedroom but ā¦
āOur officers attended the address that evening and gave strong words of advice to the person living there to advise that possession of [the flag] was not illegal, but that if it can be viewed from a public area, this could be considered a racially aggravated public order offence.
how can you commit a public order offence inside your own home ā¦in your own space ā¦
This sounds as silly as when people have come unstuck for wandering around naked in their own home.
I certainly wouldnāt have contacted the counter terror cops.

Our local Pet Food Shop always flies the skull and crossed bones at Halloweāen.
I fly the Irish Republican flag in my sitting room window on St Patrickās day along with my Shamrock lights - noone has complained so far.
Definitely would not want a nazi flag anywhere in the house though.
As I understand it, it is considered a public order offence because the person was not satisfied with keeping it to herself but wanted to send a message to passers-by, the public in other words, by displaying it.

I see what youāre saying and at risk of nitpicking Iād have to know whether the flag was actually hanging āin the windowā ā¦ or was on a wall but still viewable from outside.
So if I had a full life size male nude on my wall and a passerby looked in and saw it could they report me for pornographic images in a public place?
Yet, if anyone looked in a house and a saw a murder been committed clearly they ought to alert the police ASAP.
My point been ā¦ itās just odd in terms of the law.
Bit of a strange one. The piccie would only be deemed pornographic if he was homo erectus.
well of course heād walk upright Dex ā¦
Morti you could always cut that bit out
Depends on what is legal and what is not. A male nude wouldnāt be considered pornographic over here either.
In my book the crucial point seems to be whether a person can restrain themselves from communicating certain beliefs or preferences to the public or not. If they manage to, everything will be alright.
Or just stick a scouring pad on it.

Oh thatās a tricky one ā¦ who gets to define certain beliefs?
Who gets to judge what is offensive.
I might find a mosque objectionable but theyāre not against the law.
Iām just not ready for this wokeish world.

And therein lies another paradox about how the woke arenāt awake to the fact that so many people find them offensive.

My feelings entirely Di and although I have no animosity towards todayās Germans, I do have problems with the higher commanders of both 1st and 2nd world wars on ALL sides.

The Swastika is a very ancient symbol she could have been Hindu ?
Probably not though.

A few years ago, some cultures tried to ban the Peppa Pig cartoon, and I also remember a wee lady having to remove pig ornaments from her windowsill, because some ethnic people living in the street found them offensive.
