Ireland (well Northern Ireland) is part of "great" Britain!!! Now if he were to be proud to be part of it, then he'd be displaying the "union" flag like me!! However, Its not that I'm proud that I'm part of it particularly, I just think the Union flag looks prettier than the "English" flag that you've got , I like all the colours

It's strange how displaying flags whether of the Union Jack or cross of St.George variety was so controversial in the UK and people who stuck it on their cars or fly flags in their gardens used to be seen as a bit odd or fascist even.
That seemed to change because of sporting events such as the World Cup or European events. I remember how practically every house on the council estate in our town had an English flag hanging from the upstairs window. I was in Germany at the time of the 2002 World Cup and didn't see one German flag displayed, although there were very many Turkish flags on display. Historical memory, presumably.
I was surprised to find that in Canada practically every house had a maple-leaf flag proudly displayed, often on a tall flag pole beside the gate. My cousin told me that the federal Government sent national flags free on request in response to the Quebec provincial government's campaign to get the fleur-de-lis separatist flag flown all over Quebec.
I'm no right-wing nationalist but I rather like seeing British (i.e. uNion Jack) flags proudly displayed. Our historical record is no worse than that of many countries and much better than that of many I could think of.

Am I right in saying the welsh have their own flag as well as Scotland but are still part of GB, I am Irish born in a part of Ireland that happens to be part of the GB, and can I say I love Ireland and our culture, but also love the british culture well the old style british culture, I'm Lucky I can appreciate my two totally different cultures, can I also say I love the Scottish and welsh cultures that is the beauty of the British Isles the diversity of all totally different cultures. I hate people who have a superior attitude to other cultures and think they are the superior race so I fly the irish flag as I was born in Ireland but part of the uk by the way I am a she not a he

Just a footnote, have we come away from the original discussion of the abuse of benifits in GB? Why would my flag be more important than that? I would really be interested in knowing
