The UK English councils (as a general rule) object to us showing the flag; any flag... to put up a flag-pole requires planning permission... the English flag is considered jingoistic, even out-right racialist, if displayed on
St Georges Day (their patron saint) - it is almost glossed over as a day here... for the Scot's and the Irish, St Andrew's and St Patrick's days are public p*ss up's... oops, sorry... I meant "holidays..."

First came to light in the late 60's, the writer (Roy Williamson) has now passed but his blatently jingoistic song about the last time the Scot's defeated the English is a perfect choice...
