It's symbolic of what you represent !

No it's just a piece of material.

Green hills constantly pelted by horizontal rain, the smell of spring once it comes, the banter of my peers and a pride that is commonly shared, this is what I represent and what I see from others as I travel even from those out here in Germany. I don't need a piece of material to let my German colleagues know who I am for that I only need open my mouth! The smile that is returned lets me see all I need to know

Any flag is a piece of material thats true, but of course it represents UK citizens.

Of course I'm not from the UK originaly so I know UK citizens don't believe in anything or have any pride in their county like the rest of the world.

We don't pledge allegiance to the flag like the US, if we pledge allegiance to anything then it's the Queen.

So if you want to upset us burn the actual Queen.

Even that would upset the supporters who want the UK to be a republic.

Burning flags is ok, free speech and all that.

But if anyone so much as gives a wrong look at my squirrels

The people who burn your British flag also would burn YOU if they could.

Look at this picture: if you were American, would you ask these guys to sit and discuss our differences?



Am I the only one who is bothered by someone wanting to burn ME?

They are a bunch of cynics corrupted by celebrity BS and easy credit.

I can't speak for other countries in the UK but people from Scotland have enormous pride in their country. The belief is visible and strong for everybody to see, ask our neighbours. To say we don't have any pride in our country because of what someone is willing to do to a flag is shortsighted and dangerous.

[Flashman]

Yeah no flags man. no nationalism, give peace a chance man!

It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
