I interviewed Robert Runcie as a student for a radio station. He had pulled men out of burning tanks as a tank commander in the Second World War. Including a German foe. He didn’t need lessons on patriotism or anything else from any flag waving clowns.
Presumably this former RAF officer who served in WW2 would also now be deemed unpatriotic. Bet he didn’t have flags all over his house. #FlagShaggers

Coming in at a close second it’s the big yin, the Saltire, ol’ Billy Blue Cross. The Scottish Flag

The Red and Black isn't a "flag" in the same way as a national flag, it's symbolism and treatment are different.

The Union Jack was brought into play to unite the patriotically inclined at a time when the British were deeply divided. It was a consolidation and centralisation of identity, chiefly for the purposes of war and economy. As was the English flag, Scottish flag, etc

These flags are weapons of mass belief, used by those who wish to control you through the use of identity. Nationalism, even when it's utilised to rally against a greater oppressor, is never the soil of genuine liberation.
