Brummies have taken the flag row to the streets by painting the St George’s Cross on mini-roundabouts across the city. <br /><br />It comes as residents have hit out after Birmingham City Council announced English flags hoisted from lampposts would be removed. <br /><br />The Union Jack and St George's flags were put up by locals as part of a movement online called Operation Raise the Colours. <br /><br />Council chiefs sparked fury when they ordered the flags to be ripped down, saying the "unauthorised items" are "dangerous" and could potentially kill motorists and pedestrians. <br /><br />Locals have accused the council of double standards after Palestine banners in the city were allowed to remain. <br /><br />The row, which has also engulfed Tower Hamlets in east London, has now hit the road with mini-roundabouts painted with the English flag.
