>laws against political songs

What? Really? It's my first time hearing about a flag restriction as well.

I saw someone talk about the song thing before saying they banned official songs when they did the public order act but I can't find a source on it so I might've been repeating some bs, not sure. Also about the flag thing it's more just about interpretation, having your own symbolism tends to lead to trouble for groups IE National Action. The Public Order Act has been used against regular protest pickets when the people were disrupting capital:

The Public Order Act 1936 was also used extensively against the flying pickets during the 1984/5 miners' strike. The police used it on the grounds of preventing a breach of the peace.

So they basically include the flag or protest signs as political uniform or something, but it's not explicitly banned.

Are songs by Ian Stuart banned as well?

No lol it was referring to official party anthems like Comrades of the Voices but I'm not sure if it's true because I can't find a source for it as I mentioned. I just saw someone mention it before when they talked about the public order act designed to oppress the BUF.

Seems like just another excuse to shut down protests rather than an enforceable legal ban to me.
