Brighton Council Ignores Van With Palestine Flag for Months – But Tows it Days After St George’s Flag Added
Brighton Council has been accused of “two-tier” hypocrisy after ignoring a van with a Palestine flag for months only to tow it days after a St George’s flag was added. GB News has the story.
Two Brighton residents have spoken out against what they perceive as discriminatory treatment by their local council regarding the removal of a caravan from a Coldean street. Ryan Bishop and Josh Amble appeared on GB News with presenter Martin Daubney to voice their concerns about the timing of the vehicle’s removal.
“It was there for a good six months and a lot of people contacted the council, they didn’t want to know. It wasn’t removed,” Bishop told Martin during the show.
“The second our cross gets put up, it gets removed straight away. It proves our two-tier society. It’s disgusting”, he said.
The pair argued that the council’s swift action after a St George’s flag was added to the caravan, following months of inaction while it displayed a Palestine flag, demonstrated unfair treatment.
Brighton and Hove City Council has come under fire for allegedly showing bias in its enforcement actions after a caravan that had displayed a Palestine flag for half a year was suddenly removed within days of a St George’s flag being attached to it.
The vehicle had reportedly been parked on a Coldean road for approximately six months without council intervention, despite numerous complaints from residents during that period. However, the local authority took swift action to remove the caravan shortly after England’s national flag was added to it.
“I think it’s an absolute outrage. We’re shut down and silenced and get called far-right and racist when something like this happens. It gets worse and worse,” Mr Bishop stated during his GB News appearance.
The local authority has defended its actions, stating that the caravan was removed under Section 143 of The Highways Act as part of standard enforcement procedures against non-motorised vehicles stored on public roads.
“The caravan was put under formal notice on July 7th 2025. As is our standard policy in these circumstances, we had been liaising with the owner as a first stage, who had assured us it would be moved,” the council said in an official statement.
When the owner failed to relocate the vehicle by the deadline, contractors were hired to remove it. The council emphasised that this caravan was one of three removed from various locations across the city during the same enforcement operation.

Anglophobes. Anti-whitists. Haters so full of hate for us that they have to pretend to themselves and us that they are the kind ones.
I saw online there was an abandoned (white) car on the A66 that had apparently been there for weeks as the council didn’t want to deal with it.
2 days after it had the George cross painted on it it was gone…
And suddenly, all that fly-tipping, GONE!
It’s like the councils have been hacked into doing their jobs 🤣
It’s amazing how fast a council can actually do something, when it’s back is against the wall.
I suppose Starmer won’t stand still for long enough for someone to paint a St George cross on him.
Also, If you are going to deface anything with your political message, you might want to check your spelling first.
Next the potholes.
There are anecdotes (the veracity of which I cannot check) of potholes being filled in very quickly when a St George cross has been sprayed into them.
Just coincidence, I expect, they were planning to move it then anyway.
