More Flags

Heading to Tesco I noticed the kiddies had been out and about with their flags.  Here are two union (Butcher's Apron's) and one English (Genoa) flag tied up, half mast, on poles.  It is noticeable that few are high up, it must be the little people responsible for this nonsense.

The fever that has induced people to paint roundabouts, houses, noticeboards, and even it is said, the White horse at Westbury with the red cross of St George.  The red cross on a white background, now regarded as an English flag, was donated to England by the people of Genoa way back when, after the English ships had protected their ships.  English men in fake armour, pretending to be crusading knights, decorate themselves with a flag that did not represent them during the crusades.  I doubt any of these men either studied or understand their own history even now.  

While attempting in this manner to support 'their side,' all they do is make the place look a mess, and lessen the house prices all around.  And where do all these flags come from?  Someone connected to 'the usual suspects,' who's name I forget, is responsible for pushing these  and the 'Unite the Kingdom' nonsense.  Of course 'Tommy' is involved, and 'of course,' he is not around while it is happening.  Even at his last parade he appeared at the front and then scarpered as always.  Some patriot Yaxley-Lennon.  Isn't that an Irish name...?
