flag flying banned
Anonymous Posted: 21.05.2005, 18:02
Unregistered User 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 “English oppression.�

Earlier this month it was reported that a police station in Suffolk, England did not fly the union jack on the queen’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 queen’s birthday. This was in deepest England.

It seems that English people are now cunningly oppressing themselves, the devils.

QuoteWales is an integral part of the British Kingdom, yet it is not represented on the national flag, the Union Jack. 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?
