"Thank you for all you’re doing on behalf of the many people in Shrewsbury who are ‘proud Salopians’, but feel uncomfortable with the flags on every lamppost and the aggression and hostility of those putting them up.

I like to see them outside churches and public buildings. However, I think that people shouldn’t inflict them on others, particularly if they’re emblazoned with bulldogs and infer racist ideologies. It feels more Nazi than British.

Thanks again for your bravery and hard work on behalf of the many."
