The Saltire Stooshie.
Independent, Labour and Liberal Democrat councillors in Angus have voted to spend £4,500 on a new flag to be flown on council buildings, replacing the saltire.
Apart from the fact that council tax payers will be footing the bill for what seems no more than a petty and vindictive ploy by these elected numpties, the flag, consisting of Angus Council's coat of arms, looks like something the Queen would award to the suppliers of her toilet rolls.
While recognizing the stress and anguish these inconsequential officials must suffer at the mere sight of the present flag as they enter and leave their place of work, they should be reminded that the Saltire is not the Nationalist flag, but the National flag of Scotland.
