North Korea Flag Suddenly Appears In English Neighborhood

I wonder if someone is just trying to rile people up by putting up this flag?:

SHOCKED neighbours have been speculating about whether Kim Jong-un has opened a base within a suburban house in the north east of England.

Hoisted on a 20 foot pole in the garden of a house in Ingleby Barwick, Teesside, is the red, white and blue North Korean flag stamped with its distinctive communist red star.  (……)

One neighbour Michelle Ungurs-Wood, 35, has lived in the street for five years and said it was “bizarre”.

She said: “It doesn’t really bother me but I would like to know why they have put it up.

“I didn’t even know which flag it was I had to Google it, it surprised me to find it was North Korea.

“They might just be doing it to be controversial.”

She said the pole itself had been up since the World Cup, saying it had previously held a British flag.   [The Sun]
