A group calling itself 'Free Gaza Inverclyde', aswell as a local Councillor are attempting to cause public division by calling for a Palestinian flag to be raised over Greenock Town Hall, aswell asother council buildings. They are also attempting to rename a local street to 'Palestine Street' in an attempt to further their warped political beliefs and thrust them upon the public.
The residents of Inverclyde can not tolerate such volatile acts, one sidedness or political stuntery, which will only serve to cause serious and dangerous divisions within our communities. We call on Inverclyde Council to reject this proposal.

Well done to Edinburgh for rejecting the flying of the Palestine flag. Their alternative is truly a smack in the face of those with a political agenda. We salute you.
Many thanks to John Montomery for his comment which I agree with and to all who have had the passion to sign. Please continue to share. It is very important that we do not allow bias (especially by the media) to influence and divide our community. Why is it being proposed to raise only the Palestinian flag in support of the casualties of Gaza when there are millions suffering in the world through conflict in Iraq, Somalia, Syria etc etc etc etc. Why has it never been proposed to fly their flags? Maybe because the concern is not genuine but jumping on the political bandwagon, and political bias, is my proposal to the council...
How much more in our face does this need to be. The whole conflict has been based on a tremendous number of lies, and because of this, the flag isn't representing the truth of the situation and is taking over our streets.
Hi, I hope enough people get behind this protest and stop this political stunt. It is not just divisive in the community but could have much wider repercussions to the economy. Read her the impact already on Glasgow. http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/500601/Damaging-boycott-is-cost-of-city-flag-stunt Maybe the cruise ships will stop coming here.....
I would like to thank the Regimental Blues and its chairman Mr Kris McGurk for all their support of our petition. We continue to gain massive support, not just locally, but from all over Britain which has given us great encouragement and shows just how divisive and worrying Mr McElenys proposal is. Thanks again.
It's not patriotic to display other countrys' flags on your buildings.

Thanks for supporting our petition Lynn and we are confident that the voice of the majority will be heard in regards to this political stunt. We look forward to the response from Inverclyde Council, and hope that they take our objections seriously and do not bend to the one-sided agenda proposed by SNP Cllr Christopher McEleny. Again, thanks Lynn and to all who have given us support.
