Should the English flag now be banned due to its association with slavery, imperialism and now present day racism?

America has seen sense and banned the Confederate flag which was only flown by white extremists.

Union flag or cross of St George ?.

[Just-Jude]

The white one with the red crosses.

Who associates it with slavery, imperialism and racism?

[Just-Jude]

The Commonwealth.

[pixie374]

Tough...

[tonyav]

I don't, also I'm not responsable for anything my ancestors may or may not have done.

I am proud to be English and respect the flag of England.

[Just-Jude]

Many English don't respect it.

[pixie374]

I don't either. Education is usually better than kowtowing to ignorant people.

[pixie374]

... Cross-posted. I don't associate it, not that I don't respect it...

How about the Saltire then and its linkage with bondage? After all, its called the St Andrews Cross both above Holyrood and within Madame's parlor.

[Maydup]

We can hardly compare the Confederate States Of America with England!

[Just-Jude]

The Scots are proud of their flag, it has no links with sex and slavery.

[tonyav]

I'm proud of mine and I'm English.

[Just-Jude]

...but it's tainted.

[tonyav]

Anyhoo, those good ol boys down at Daytona still like the confederate flag.

I wouldn't expect anything else from the lynch mob, tony.

Good man, Jordy.

Many, many have died and the last thing they have seen is our flag. I love our flag, it is emotive of our heritage. It represents who we were and who we are.
Be proud of who we are as a nation. Not what we're becoming. Ban the English flag over my cold dead body.
