Birmingham city council is trying to get a High Court order to stop an anti-migrant group called Raise the Colours putting flags on public things. The council says it's because staff faced abuse removing flags and it impacts community cohesion and public safety. Raise the Colours co-founder Ryan Bridge and seven others are named in the application, which the group has not yet reviewed.
