The flags - which include the force's badge - are to mark lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender history month.

James Brady, 34, of Bury accused the police of being discriminatory - 'We don't seem to have a week celebrating hetrosexuality,' he said.

With the way the UK has fallen....Michael Savage is fortunate he got banned from the UK. We all need to be banned from the UK.

What will be really scary is if Queen Elizabeth dies, and her liberal Global Warming Nazi son takes over as King. You think the UK is gay now.....wait till King Chuck takes over
