Re: Fly The Flag
Let's hope this is the start of something positive. :) That bit about multiple patriotism probably applies to me. It isn't a problem unless the countries concerned should happen to go to war. :D

Re: Fly The Flag
I have no problem with someone showing patriotism towards the country of their birth but once they have arrived over here with the intent to stay for good, their first allegiance should be towards this country.

Re: Fly The Flag
I am a flag flyer of the first order. Old Glory 365 days a year. Have two additional flagpoles. On one, I periodically fly the Union Jack. From the other a State flag.
A few years ago, a British friend told me that it was necessary to obtain permission in order to run the Union Jack up a flagpole over there. I was shocked. Any such restriction would never "fly" here. |

Re: Fly The Flag
I've just ordered one on eBay. I've no sodding idea where I'm going to stick it but I'm impressed by Mr Brown's stance on this matter. :)

Re: Fly The Flag
well hes only been in the job 2 mins and Gordon Brown has done more to restore pride with the simple gesture of flying the flag than ANY Labour or Tory government has done in the last 20yrs or more. ;)

Re: Fly The Flag
Not to mention what he's done for flag sales on eBay! :D

Surely the EU flag should take precedence now that the UK is 'one of twelve'
