It's a free society, screw politeness if it gets in the way of personal liberty.

Disagree. There's a whopping great fallacy behind all this Freedom talk, which is: WTF are you on about? Absolute freedom is utter chaos. We are so far from free it's out of sight. And I am glad people are NOT free to say terrible things (from an objective viewpoint) without (hopefully) drawing consternation.
Liberty is way overrated, and those who apparently wank off over the idea don't even hold true to its values.

If that's not political correctness gone mad, I don't know what is.

You surely don't, friend.
This is exactly what I was talking about. Is that an example of PC, really? Seems to me to be an incident of bloody stupidity (apart from the fact that wearing a bandana is fucking hideous, regardless of the nauseating patriotism) from a small group of ultra-sensitive people. PC deals with the broad strokes, it's just when you get twitchy individuals in official capacities messing around with specific examples that this kind of thing occurs.
Why would they pass this court order? My guess is that he was probably wearing the offending item WHILE he was working for the council, in which case, I'd actually agree with the sentiment of the law on this matter, but NOT the enforcement.
