Default It must be a hoax

It can't be true, that an englishman that love his country has to repaint his door.

So, is it offensive to fly those flags in the Navy ?
After all someone could feel offended.
(And i thought this was the wanted effect )

I my HOA, a resident needed to get permission from the HOA before painting their front door. One of the more annoying aspects of HOAs.

I will never buy a home with an HOA again.

"Political correctness" seems to become a world wide spread disease. In essence, it is forcing people to give up their individuality and freedom of expression, even if it is a positive and uplifting statement, as this one seems to be.
Sad world we live in nowadays. We must not be proud of our flag, we must not believe in a higher and positive spirituality (whatever the form or the name), we must not have an opinion, and definitelly not make a stand for what we believe in, however right it is. We are being turned into drones.
