Now you see it....

A town council in Somerset has decided not to fly the flag of St George on its civic flagpole because its association with the Crusades might make it "offensive to Muslims".  The town has a population of some five and a half thousand of which apparently less than twenty are Muslims.  But perhaps the most farcical aspect of their decision is that they are going to fly the Union Flag there instead - and of course the Union Flag contains somewhat prominently the flag of St George!
