It is simply a form of protest, they don't feel like their country currently represents them. We should be encouraging people to make the country better and from my point of view nationalism really doesn't add anything. You shouldn't respect something that is doing wrong.
 
But the union flag represents the nation, the country, not a faith or ethnic group..

If they feel antagonised by the union flag, would they feel more at home under a Pakistani flag, for example? I should hope not.

So why are they here then?

I'm pretty sure that their parents moved here due to free education, healthcare , job opportunities etc. Whats NOT to respect?

Best of luck with that one. I wonder what she has in mind to replace the entire global economy? Or why the entire global economy is detrimental to black people? Or even what the heck they can do to "dismantle" the entire global economy? I'm not sure that's guaranteed to end well. But I guess if the economy is racist, it has to go!

Did you look into or research any of those questions?

Why do you assume their parents weren't born here?

Okay, only their grandparents if that satisfies!

Its a global economy these days, instead of defacing your school you could vote with your feet i guess if you hate the union jack or your fellow classmates that much!

I put the blame firmly on the teachers of the school who raised the kids to reject there own national flag
 
We are creating a society where you believe in yourself and everything else is to be rationalised and deconstructed.

Hopefully it is a passing fad as we transition from old power structures to new ways. I try to be optimistic, but I feel we will simply become a nation of lost and untethered individuals. People who want to feel part of a collective will likely overcompensate and be attracted by the more radical ideas on the left and right.

I'm fascinated and scared by the whole thing. I'm concentrating on retiring early and walking the dog on the beach and hoping I can avoid it all. I've got to an age where the world doesn't really make as much sense anymore as the rose tinted walled garden of my upbringing is being dismantled.

Is it normal to have the union flag outside a school in this country?

Can't say I've ever seen a union flag or St. George flag outside any school in this country before, seems a very US thing.

Not at all, but suddenly there were calls from some tories to make it a thing.


My secondary school actually did have a flag (which was unusual), and it was the schools emblem.

Your suggestion is that school children leave the country of their own accord?

I'm goimg to presume that a school child probably doesn't have a full cognitive grasp on this sense of identity especially in their younger years and are likely being encouraged by their parents.

Could be wrong however. But if their parents also sang rule Britania etc and really emotionally invested themselves in the country that supports them I expect the children would be pretty happy with the flag.

Eh? Says who?

Maybe at one time that's what the Union flag represented, but it's recently been smeared in a load of unBritish xenophobia and nationalism, which has sullied its associations.

Refusing to eat the sandwich your mum made you, after it got dropped in dog****, isn't a rejection of her cooking.

The issue of "flag flying" comes around regularly and plenty in this forum aren't keen on private use of country flags or the people who do.

But they often wrap themselves in the EU banner.
Had to laugh the other day at UVDL who on having her vaccine had an EU face mask, not too unusual, but then an EU sticking plaster was applied to the sore spot. One has to wonder how much other EU branded stuff she wears unseen.

That's cheesy but you can't really say that wearing EU flags is in any way suspect for the president of the EC.

No, I suppose she has to push the project. The commentators who criticise UK ministers for their display of the Union flag when on zoom should also look at the way all EU commissioners, MEP's etc go surrounded by EU banners in the same circumstance.

The EU is a union of 27 countries, it's not flag nationalism to have the EU flag everywhere.

It would be weird if Ursula von der Leyan draped herself in the German flag all the time.

Tell Iran, Pakistan etc they're not allowed to fly their flag and see what happens. At the end of the day this is mob rule that wants to tear down the establishment with nothing to replace it. We've got a country of followers with no leaders.
