I'm thinking about buying a shed load of union jack merchandise and setting up stall in Stratford.. or nearby.. in 2012.
My worry is that for the majority of the UK - is this a Nationalistic symbol.. with it's awkward connotations? Or will we all regain our pride in our country?
It feels like due to the PC police we Britons are subjugated into not expressing our patriotism - sure, it's ok if you're English, Scottish or Irish.. but doesn't the Union Flag symbolise something else much more sinister these days.. or am I just paranoid?
(Oh and admins.. if you want, you can remove this if you think it's political/abusive/religious or any other reason.. but know that this is a genuine question with no hidden agenda.)
