Hahaha, I really should have guessed that! Re the social housing, if our local asylum hotel is anything to go by, the far right are using it to stir up anger among people living in the nearby estate. I don't know if that applies elsewhere.

If South Gloucestershire council can do it, why can't we @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social ? What is the point of calling yourself a sanctuary council if you can't even take a simple action like removing flags to make people feel safer?
