The flag of St George is regularly flown on parish churches throughout the land. (Thankfully not Oiram's under garments, although they do say Cleanliness in next to Godliness).

What would be wrong with that, should I indeed choose to?

It would make you a racist. Everyone knows that a display of the Union Jack or St George Cross is racist.

It doesn't make you a racist by default. You might just be a bit weird.

In general I like it when people show their flag. It’s a sign of pride in one’s heritage. All nations, states, regions or whatever. It is in no way racist.

I can only agree with you. In the US it is very common for people to have flags hanging in their houses. I have a friend who does the same, but hangs it outside the front of the house when our national Cricket, Rugby and football teams are playing in competitions.

I am pleased to see that Boris has followed this up when talking to the nation from home as well.

a neighbour a few houses from me has a flag pole in his front garden with the Union Flag flying.

Least surprising thing I've read today.

You are surprised that I love my country! Wow. I’m surprised when people don’t love their country.

Why do you hate so many of your countrymen then? Weird.

Also my point was that I’m not surprised you live in an area where people fly a flag in their gardens.

Personally I always have at least two union flags flying at my gaff. I question the commitment of those who just have one.

It's the only way to make sure a flying flag is visible from both the East and West wings.

Because you’ve had your vaccine, doesn’t make it a success.

You relish in schadenfreude. What a negative anti-British treacherous soul you are. So sad that people like you drain the country of the benefits of British values, like the NHS and yet wish upon failure and disaster.

Whilst all of that is totally true, this is just about having a pop at dunnem.

Oh , I see, sorry, I’ll get of my high horse then.

Blast, better tell my mum to cancel her Littlewoods Catalogue Order.

Are you English Scotlandish or Sixcountiesish ?

Another question ,
Why is St Davids flag not incuded ?

Is it because they didnt like one of the colours ?

I remember a day at Wembley, we were 2-0 up at half time, and people were celebrating wildly....

Actually, my memory of that day was of people standing around in the concourse looking stunned and knowing somehow that it was going to end in tears.

I still have the flag.

I remember seeing someone buy a flag off a trader for £1 as thousands left in silence , you could hear a pin drop, until that lady announcer with awful screeching voice started to squeal over the microphone.

What an awful day that was. I worked it out, cost me nearly a thousand quid in tickets , meals , snacks, parking, dogs care and so on.

Without consulting the wiki-gods, might it be that over the centuries Wales was a Principality not a Kingdom? (Confidence rated 3/10)

So what is it now ?

Still a Principality
Or a Kingdom or a Nation .

It has its own parliament
Its own National.Anthem
It's own boarder
Its own Flags
Etc etc

Be nice if it was included in the modern world Don't you think ?
