Finchley and Golders Green MP Sackman, who is Jewish, wrote an article in the Barnet Post saying that now the World Cup was over,“I’m calling full time on the flags.” “Those who live and spend time in Temple Fortune and Golders Green will know that St George’s and Union Jacks were hoisted on public lampposts, without permission, long before the World Cup. He continued: “The Union flag brings together the four regions of the UK as one. A Barnet Council spokesperson said: “The council celebrates with pride our nation’s flag, flying the Union flag outside the council’s offices in Colindale and above Hendon Town Hall every day. “However, the council does not fly flags from its lampposts because they are not designed to hold them safely.
