Nationalist group leaders agree to stop hoisting St George’s flags in Oxfordshire

Representatives of Raise the Colours appeared in court after local council accused them of intimidating staff

Leaders of the nationalist group Raise the Colours have agreed to stop hoisting England flags on lamp-posts in Oxfordshire after the local authority sought a high court injunction against the campaign.

Ryan Bridge, Ben Cullen and Trudy Wells told the high court on Tuesday they would not raise St George’s flags from Oxfordshire county council property, encourage others to do so or impede council workers from taking them down.
