Man complains about Union Jack being flown all year

[psychocandy]

You'll see the Welsh flag flying proud in all parts of Wales and I imagine the Scots would give you short shrift if you complained about their flying of the St.Andrew cross.

The Union Flag, and to a lesser extent, the St.George cross might be considered the symbols of racist groups, but surely by flying the flag in the manner this muppet complained about is surely the best way to reclaim it as a national symbol.

And of course the Welsh flag is the only one of the 4 home nations not represented in the Union Flag

Laws in Wales Acts - Wales was formally incorporated into the Kingdom of England

That is because Wales as a nation ceased to exist before the act of Union. It was ceded to the Kingdom of England and made a principality thereof. Thus Wales is represented by the English part of the flag.

...Perhaps the question should be how do we reclaim the Union Jack from the far right groups?...

By non-racist people proudly flying it. Even bearded, sandle-wearing, bleeding heart, wishy-washy, liberal, tree-hugging hippies.

Indeed. That one with the dragon is made up, like the language.

Max Boyce is real though.

What?

It doesn't have a pasty on it?

Whatever next.

That's racist that is.

The pasty may be the 'national' vegetable but not everyone thinks such things belong on flags

Shirley that would be local pride unless Cornwall has now become a nation

Hence the quotes. Although to many, Cornwall is a country. A few loons even want to make that official

The language that existed before English you mean?
