I keep seeing these versions of the Union Jack with a black George Cross on them stuck on lampposts. Is there any significance to them? Neo nazi stuff i was thinking.

The opposite, actually. It was proposed by black activist, political ativist and broadcaster Darcus Howe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcus_Howe with the intent to remove the negative associations normally perceived by some sections of society, of the flag of st george, and by association, the union flag. (ie, racist, or colonialism)

As I perceive it, it is not intended to replace the union flag,it merely suggests that the local authority/individual is aware of racism, and is trying to redress certain issues.

Remember White Poppies, years ago? they weren't trying to denigrate the victims of war, but it's futility. It was hugely misunderstood.

Why do they still use the flag with the Saint Patrick's Saltire anyway? This would be more apt:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3e/Flag_of_Great_Britain_%281707-1800%29.svg/1000px-Flag_of_Great_Britain_%281707-1800%29.svg.png

I realise incorporating N.Ireland's a thorny issue, but surely incorporating the whole of Ireland (despite there being a republic) is even more insensitive?

...and before anyone brings up the Welsh it's not a real country Wink

Astonishingly,a live broadcast made by Darcus during some of the most disturbing riots this country have ever seen, in Londonsville, in which he criticized the police and asked for them to behave with restraint have mysteriously disappeared from the archives.

Interesting. But surely a Union Jack with Dreds would have been better.

I was thinking we should probably adopt this instead:

The racist chant goes: "There aint no black in the union jack".

There was an apparently genuine campaign a few years back to introduce black into the union jack as a counter to this.

Yes I remember that. Didn't it go quiet when someone said it reminded them of the National Socialist flag?

There's no yellow or brown either. Shall we let them all have a stripe? May as well, they've gradually stripped
Britain of pretty much any identity it had of its own. May as well let them at the flag as well. It won't be long until its
an imprisonable offence to celebrate St Georges Day. (Halal) Food for thought. Happy Holidays everyone.

And that is exactly why I'm glad I'm an old bastard now. I won't live to see this country turned into a shadow of it's former self and having to listen to the handwringers bemoaning the fact we are guilty of every sin in the world because we are white and had an empire.

I fart in their general direction Middle Finger

I really couldn't give a rat's arse whether somebody wants to place stickers of the union flag with a bit of black in it on lamp posts. It doesn't make any difference to anybody, nor does it imply that white people are guilty of the sins of their great, great grandfathers.

Lots of variation around. Is this

worse or better than this?

They will likely be worn by very different people, for very different reasons. But I actually don't mind any of these, as long as they are seen as an indication that the wearer identifies with the UK (a form of patriotism), just not as a replacement for the traditional flag.

F*ck you all , I’m going to declare my house an independent state of Pepperarmia and design my own flag!
I might have a little bit of the Union Jack in it as a nod to where Pepperamia came from Thumbs Up

Here's a black union flag dress that would appeal to Diane A.
