He was carrying OUR flag. If you use google images to search on "English Flag", 7 of the first 10 images are of the Union flag. Only 3 St Georges crosses are displayed. This is a common misconception abroad. Displaying the Union flag is usually immediately associated with English tourists, not Scots, Welsh or Northern Irish. I don't consider it to be my flag, and neither does much of the world (including England). Only Scottish Britnats tend to describe it as 'our' flag.

"England" is most often used interchangeably by those from other parts of the world with the "U.K." Or "Great Britain". It's always bothered me that Noam Chomsky does this almost without exception. I have to assume that he does it on purpose, as if to indicate the preposterousness of assuming that the other home nations can be considered equal.

Yes it was mostly British people complaining about a Scottish athlete in the British Olympic team carrying THEIR flag.Because he tweeted one tweet in support of Scottish independence.

Alan Stubbs Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 If I was to say I'm not a UK citizen and that the passport with my name and d.o.b in it isn't mine, I would obviously be wrong. Surely a flag doesn't have the same basis in legal fact; if you don't in any way identify with it, it's not really be your flag. I don't have any issue with a Scottish person seeing the Union flag as "theirs" but it isn't mine. I've had the Irish passport forms in the drawer for about a year. If Brexit goes a certain way and it becomes worth getting them sent off, the tricolour won't be my flag all of a sudden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of highly educated Americans tend to do that and I agree that it is very irritating to listen to when it is somebody that clearly should know better. Often wonder if the aversion to using Britain and British amongst the American elite started off as a way to keep Irish Americans happy because pre-partition they would have been lumped in under that as well and would no doubt have objected vociferously to being described that way. The absurd use of "these islands" by the political elite rather than British Isles is an example closer to home of how these sensibilities often have to be catered to.
