Fighting For His Flag. Mr. Jim Banks, of Hawley Road, Dartford, Kent, has refused
Fighting For His Flag.
Mr. Jim Banks, of Hawley Road, Dartford, Kent, has refused to remove this flag which flies above his business premises. The Dartford Rural Council has ordered him to do so because it is an advertisement and has not been sanctioned by the council. Since taking over the premises five years ago Mr. Banks states that he has spent time and money in making the premises attractive and he considers this action by the council to be stupid and high-handed. Kent, England. 08 November 1960

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Fighting For His Flag" we witness the unwavering determination of Mr. Jim Banks, a resident of Hawley Road, Dartford, Kent. Standing tall above his business premises is a flag that has become the center of controversy. Despite orders from the Dartford Rural Council to remove it, Mr. Banks adamantly refuses. The council argues that the flag serves as an unauthorized advertisement and therefore must be taken down immediately. However, for Mr. Banks, this flag represents more than just a promotional tool; it symbolizes his pride in his establishment and all the hard work he has put into making it appealing over the past five years. To him, this action by the council seems both senseless and authoritarian. He firmly believes that their intervention is unnecessary and fails to recognize his efforts in beautifying his property. This powerful image captured by TopFoto. co. uk transports us back to November 8th, 1960 when tensions ran high between local authorities and determined individuals like Mr. Banks who were willing to fight for what they believed was right. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, let us reflect on our own convictions and consider how far we would go to defend something dear to us - even if it means challenging those in positions of power or authority.
