"Who Gives a Monkeys?!' Caller Schooled on Lamppost Flags

This caller to Matthew Wright’s LBC show just can’t get his head around one simple truth… you can’t stick flags (or anything else) on lampposts. It’s against the law! 😤 In this heated phone-in, a passionate caller argues “who gives a monkeys?” if people want to fly flags from lampposts. However, I break down the 1980 Highway Act, explaining that public highways and lampposts are not private property like your front garden. I mention the real safety risks — flags falling onto cars, distracting drivers near traffic lights, or creating hazards — and why changing the law doesn’t work by ignoring it or “going to court yourself.” Key moments include Wright’s classic line: “When you’re in England, why didn’t you stick by the laws of England?” and his clear distinction between what’s allowed on your own house versus what’s banned on the public highway without council permission.
