What is wrong with this picture?

Something not quite right

Take a look at above image, you can enlarge it by clicking on it. Use the zoom on your viewer.

What is wrong with it? Well two things that I can see straight off.

Lets make it a game. Your excluded if you live in the area and recognise the building. The flag on the left has been flying now for a couple of weeks and will be up until the end of the month.

Check on the logo on the waste bins in front of the Centre and see if you can find the council that is flying the strange flag next to the Union Flag.

What is that flag on the left? Who is it for? I'll give you a clue. The councils across Our Country use the code letters LGBT instead of the full words. Some people might find the fact that their council wastes their money in supporting groups like these a tad wrong.

If you give up or are busy you can find out the Council, the Flag and the meaning of LGBT here. Either way I will tell you what else is wrong with the image or rather the ineptness of those who work within as Councillors.

Believe it or not, there is a precedence of which flag goes where when the Union Flag, Our Flag is flown. Leaving aside the fact that I personally find the flag on the left offensive, the Council obviously do not know their Jack Staff from their jacksie. Let me remind them.

A guide to the order of precedence of more than one flag should be as follows:

(1) Union flag
(2) Any other National flag
(3) Flag of Europe
(4) Flag of England/Scotland/Wales
(5) Regional/City/County flag
(6) Corporate/House/Club/School/Organisation flag

Where there are two or more flagpoles next to each other, the home national flag should be flown from the flagpole on the left when facing a building. In the event one flagpole is taller than the other, the home National flag should be flown from the tallest.

So there you go. Our Flag should be on the left. Neither am I wild about the fact that the evil symbol of Eurabia takes precedence over that off England, Scotland and Wales. Those are proud symbols, the Eurabian rag is a symbol of oppression.

So if you live in the area why not pop in and tell them?

This is OUR Flag


Take a good look at this flag. This is OUR flag. The flag of the indigenous people of the United Kingdom. Beneath its colours, our ancestors have fought and died for it in its current form since the Union of Ireland and Great Britain in 1801.

That union along with the Union of Scotland in 1603 and the Wales Acts of 1535-1542 brought about one of the Greatest alliances in the world. The United Kingdom. Look at it again. Your Countrymen have died for this flag.

On the 6th of June 1944, my father – a proud Welshman, along with his regiment, ran up Sword Beach in Normandy. They were off the Beach in an hour and traveled inland towards Caen. There my father was to earn his Oak Leaf for being Mentioned in Despatches whilst also running into a burst of machine gun fire from the heavy resistance they encountered.

For my father the war was over and up until his recent demise he would never talk about the war unless really pushed after a few beers in the British Legion.

One summer when I was in my late teens, dressed in shirtsleeves, I asked my father about the origins of the tattoo on his left forearm. By now it was faded but still clearly a Union Jack. “Why?”, I asked, “would a Welshman have an English Flag tattooed on his arm”? There I received an history lesson.. “Its not an English Flag, its OUR flag, first I am Welsh, then I am British and this is the flag of the British – the flag of a United Britain...without each other, the English, the Scots, Irish and Welsh are nothing. Together we are great”. And that was my history lesson for the day finished with.


Now when I see the tactics the scum politicians make to divide the United Kingdom and the encouragement they give to organisations such as the wasteful Welsh Assembly and the almost continual insults aimed at the English then I wonder if my Fathers run up that beach was worth it. Well of course it was. It stiffens my resolve to fight for what is right.

So remember, it does not matter whether you are Scots, Irish, Welsh or English – you are still British. Do not let the enemy divide us. It is our Flag – let’s keep it always looking this way.

Come on ENGLAND.
