Topic:	flag flying banned
Anonymous Unregistered User Posted: 21.May 2005 - 18:02	This posting is dedicated to the 80 odd votes on this website that thought the Piran flag question earlier this year was an example of â€œEnglish oppression.â€? Earlier this month it was reported that a police station in Suffolk, England did not fly the union jack on the queenâ€™s birthday in April. Apparently, health and safety ruled against the way of attaching the flag to the pole. Yes, I realise that this was the union jack, the British flag with the cross of St George at its centre. This was the queenâ€™s birthday. This was in deepest England. It seems that English people are now cunningly oppressing themselves, the devils.

The standard of Wales consists of a red dragon on a green and white background. As such, it will not fit easily into the design of the Union flag, composed of the red upright cross of St. George on a white background; the white diagonal cross of St. Andrew on a blue background; and the red diagonal cross of St. Patrick on a white background. This represents England, Scotland and Ireland respectively. At least the Welsh flag is repressed and banned and whatever the hell was not happening to the Cornish falg?
