Jerry Kunkler, landlord of The Moonrakers Inn in Pewsey, first painted the England flag on the Grade II listed building in 2016 to show support for English sports teams. However, last November, a complaint alleging the pub resembled “the headquarters of the National Front” prompted an official investigation.
