Like combatting crime, such as that committed when the English flag was raised there in the first place. (I'm sure there's a constitutional offence there but, failing that, there's incitement to racial hatred and conduct intended to cause a breach of the peace, at the very least).

Where is it illegal to fly the CStG flag in England? Who would throw eggs at your flag in England?
