    It's NOT the Union Jack, how many times? It's the Union Flag. The Union Jack is a small square shaped flag flown on ships.

    The term Union Jack possibly dates from Queen Anne's time (reigned 1702-14), but its origin is uncertain. It may come from the 'jack-et' of the English or Scottish soldiers; or from the name of James I who originated the first union in 1603, in either its Latin or French form Jacobus or Jacques; or, as 'jack' once meant small, the name may be derived from a royal proclamation issued by Charles II that the Union Flag should be flown only by ships of the Royal Navy as a jack, a small flag at the bowsprit.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Flags are not racist, they're flags

    The people waving the flags may be however.

    I was born in America, I live in America, I'm going to die in America.

    Did I offend any non Americans with that?

    Oh and short concise terms we have for non-Americans?

    Commies.
    I'll take that as the joke I hope it was, as it be as untrue as saying that all Americans are overweight warmongerers.
