I am proud to be English instead of British, which anyone can be if they can get a passport. However, I am not pleased with the sight of the Union flag any more. To me, nowadays, it smacks of extreme right wing or even fascist tendencies. I was going to have the flag of St George for my flag, but they've cottoned on to that, too, now.

I still have the Flag of St George as my flag and will ever continue to do so! I defy anyone to tell me I can't!
