RAF ensign

How disgraceful and appallingly disrespectful to the tens of thousands who died or were wounded under that flag to just flippantly excuse it's inappropriate use as a triviality.

Some people have no respect whatsoever. They might have the common decency to consider whether they'd even be permitted to air such views without threat to their freedom had those who died not died in order to preserve that freedom, not that those fallen patriots would ever have dreamed that their own countrymen would so appallingly abuse the freedoms that they died protecting.

For utter shame!

Sometimes some of my own countrymen make me feel ashamed to be an Englishman.

You forgot "If you hate this country so much, why not move to Iran?" Otherwise 8/10, good try. No question of false cholers there.

Sorry, missed that. So one flies an ensign but wears colours. I am sure that gets some elderly men with red trizers very excited.

Or even some forumites. ?

So what does all this mean? Can you fly a defaced ensign or not and if so, when?

 

[SaltIre]

To fly that ensign is it necessary to demonstrate the ability to walk sideways?

In two threads I've now insulted two out of four.....

Boat needs to be fitted with fore and aft thrusters for maximum sideways movement.

Only if the wee German granny says so and between 08.00 and 21.00 or sunset, whichever comes first.

That’s cleared that up then.

I'm getting this now. Citizens all over the planet are proud of their own national flag and support its use.

If, however, you have been conquered and your flag incorporated into your masters one, you spend the next three hundred years moaning about it and getting all indignant. Makes sense now. ??

Especially if you are bankrupt and have to beg for help.....?

Are the English reduced to that, finally?

This is a lot of fred drift for a chancer flying an ensign they have no right to.
