Flying the Union Jack: A Symbol of Pride.

As I was driving through town today, something caught my eye a simple yet powerful sight. Outside the local council office, the Union Jack stood tall, fluttering in the wind. It was a rare moment of patriotic pride in a country that too often seems embarrassed by its own identity. And it got me thinking: why isn’t this the norm? 

Why don’t we see the Union Jack flying proudly outside every public building libraries, schools, government offices up and down the country?

It used to be a given that our national flag would stand as a symbol of unity and identity. Yet, in recent years, we’ve seen an alarming shift. Councils and institutions shy away from displaying the flag for fear of ‘offending’ someone. They pander to the ever-growing forces of political correctness, prioritising so-called inclusivity over national pride. This is not progress it is submission to an ideology that seeks to erode the very fabric of our nation.

The Union Jack is more than just a flag; it represents our history, culture, and values. It embodies the sacrifices made by those who came before us, the resilience of our people, and the traditions that define us as British. To see it relegated to a rarity rather than a standard is nothing short of a disgrace.

Across the world, nations proudly display their flags without shame or hesitation. Walk through any 

American town, and you’ll see the Stars and Stripes flying outside schools, homes, and even local businesses. In France, the Tricolour is a symbol of national pride, and the same can be said for countless other nations that take their identity seriously. So, why are we expected to be any different?

It’s time for Britain to reclaim its sense of pride. The Union Jack should fly outside every public building, from council offices to libraries, police stations to schools. It should be a daily reminder of who we are and what we stand for.

The woke brigade may try to convince us that patriotism is outdated or exclusionary, but they are wrong. Loving one’s country is not about division it is about unity. The more we allow ourselves to be shamed into silence, the more we lose sight of what makes Britain great.

So let’s push back against this madness. Let’s demand that our flag flies high once again. Because if we don’t take pride in our nation, who will?
