SIR - Well, Monday's front page (T&A, April 28) says it all.

I have never read anything as ridiculous as this before in today's climate of you can't do this or that because it's too dangerous!'' Outrageous, diabolical - some of the terms used by the Memorial Day backers - are just about the right words. It really takes the biscuit.

So we all have to obey the band of know-alls so they can put the dampener on everything that pleases the public. Then they know that it's another nail in our coffin, and in this way we will not be allowed to do anything in the future.

A suggestion to Bradford Council would be to reposition the flag so it can be controlled from within the confines of their Chamber.

Or perhaps they should make a phone call to London and ask them how it's done, as their flags go up on important days, regardless how high the buildings are.

So why don't they stop all this nonsense and, just for once, do something for the people of this city who, after all, pay their salaries.
