The Union Flag is the National Flag of the United Kingdom, and it is so called because it embodies the emblems of the three constituent nations united under one Sovereign – the Kingdoms of England and Wales, of Scotland and of Northern Ireland.
Note how Wales and England is one constituent nation.

Like hell it is.
That’s like me telling you that from tomorrow you have to kneel to the EU flag.
Out of interest. Any ideas why this has become such a thing? Johnsons ill judged idea of trying to pull the nation together or just to appeal to his own supporter base?
I don’t think there’s any problem on those counts. Paradoxically, the sort who like to wave union jacks stick out like a sore thumb without them anyway.
This is all very mind numbingly incredible. How could so many sad bastard poor ex-pats vote to leave – and then not even manage to sort their residencies out. Gove and the tories told them they’d be ok of course.
Brexit, the gift that will keep on giving for many moons ahead.
Fuckwit cunts. I say to Englanders that I lost my rights they reply ‘but it will remainthe same’. What the fuck! what is the same between having rights and not having rights? Arseholes!
From the (yuck!) Express:
Fellow returning expat Shaun Cromber voted Leave but said he did not believe Brexit would end his Spanish lifestyle.
He said: "Yes I voted out, but I didn’t realise it would come to this.
"My application has been rejected and we are on our way home – my wife is in tears, she’s distraught if I’m honest and I’m not too happy at the prospect of returning back to the UK.
“I’ve loved living on the Costa del Sol and after five years can’t believe it has come to this.
"We applied but got rejected and so have no choice, although long term I think the Spanish will regret chucking us out of Spain.”
Except that if they’d sorted out their paperwork in time they’d have been able to stay. Not every ex-pat is being asked to leave, just those who didn’t sort out their settled status in time.
