Even as a Dutchman, I can appreciate this response. The BBC should adopt a policy of flying many flags, except the Union Jack. See if that riles up this politician.
I went to Minneapolis on a 3-week course in American studies in summer 1992. Our first excursion was to a school in Edina outside which a large US flag was waving in the breeze. I asked our host what the occasion was. "Every day is a flag day in America" he said. I don't want every day to be a flag day. Too much flag-waving is a sign of excessive patriotism or aggressive nationalism. We can do without that.

Having some national pride, recognising shared qualities and recognising the merits of ones own nation - as well as- having individual qualities to be proud of, recognising the errors of ones own nation and being proud of ones own achievements, are not all mutually exclusive attributes, ideals or opinions.

If I were to even loosely agree that I have national pride, I'd prefer to elaborate on it by saying it's more thankfulness that I have for my nation. I'd prefer to explain that by the word _pride_ I mean how privileged I feel to be a part of a nation which has done so much in history to further the progress of the human race. A nation which still continues to be in a large part, a shining light to the most pitiful peoples of the world. Categorically, no nation is or has ever been perfect. But it doesn't help only to recognise and condemn a nations flaws...no matter the importance of that sort of recognition. Surely there also ought to be recognition and celebration of a nations accomplishments, overall character and attributes.
@@carlhartwell7978 Schopenhauer didn't say national pride is a bad or good thing, it's just the cheapest form of pride, since anyone who happens to be born in the nation can claim that pride, despite his or hers personal qualities or accomplishments.
@@sovijus So the only argument anyone could have against a person waving a Union Flag is if that was the only source of that persons pride? Is this ever contended? It seems that it's outright mocked.
@@carlhartwell7978 If a person is waving a flag and proclaims his national pride, it is clear that he values that pride very highly, regardlless of what other things he might also feel proud of. If you value that pride so highly and it is deemed to be so cheap, then it is inevitable that one might feel some form of contempt towards placing such a great value on national pride.

It's odd that the Tories are being accused of being flag obsessed. Whenever I have been abroad I have seen the national flag of the place I am visiting all over the place. The EU, not even a country sticks it's flag everywhere. In fact there were loads of EU flags planted outside Parliament not long ago without much criticism.

How many people did you win over to your side during the referendum and last 3 elections using derogatory, divisive language like that?

@@thefastandthedead1769 Thing is, bypassing democracy to some extent, and very prominently (not just one flag in the background of zoom calls) showing multiple flags everywhere, weren't the worse crimes of fascism, and those facets are not (on their own) enough to assert that fascism is present. The kinds of freedoms that have been taken away (with the opposition many times claiming that too little was done) in the last year, imo would certainly give a heavier qualification. But like I say, the Conservatives didn't bring in Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 either. Okay they haven't repealed it, that's also egregious I guess my wider point is that just identifying 'some' attributes that 'could' be found in say a fascist regime, isn't necessarily enough to declare it as such.

A nation which still continues to be in a large part, a shining light to the most pitiful peoples of the world.
Categorically, no nation is or has ever been perfect. But it doesn't help only to recognise and condemn a nations flaws...no matter the importance of that sort of recognition. Surely there also ought to be recognition and celebration of a nations accomplishments, overall character and attributes.

@@carlhartwell7978 Schopenhauer didn't say national pride is a bad or good thing, it's just the cheapest form of pride, since anyone who happens to be born in the nation can claim that pride, despite his or hers personal qualities or accomplishments.
@@sovijus So the only argument anyone could have against a person waving a Union Flag is if that was the only source of that persons pride? Is this ever contended?
It seems that it's outright mocked.
@@carlhartwell7978 If a person is waving a flag and proclaims his national pride, it is clear that he values that pride very highly, regardlless of what other things he might also feel proud of. If you value that pride so highly and it is deemed to be so cheap, then it is inevitable that one might feel some form of contempt towards placing such a great value on national pride.

Sadly for me James a wild is my MP. I’d like to say he does a good job, but I’ll have to wait until he does. His answers to my emails are hilarious. He was a shoe-in and only turns up to photo opportunities. In schools.

so after four years of watching Trump fondle the stars and stripes, the Tories suddenly think flag worship is a good policy to promote. Interesting.
Tories follow the yanks in everything ... lying policy is 1st ...

The EU, not even a country sticks it's flag everywhere.
In fact there were loads of EU flags planted outside Parliament not long ago without much criticism.
In the UK we have relatively few Union Flags flying over buildings.

Higgins is from a Great Grandfather born in Ireland, my Grandfather/Father/Self born in Scotland.......but I have a Grandmother who was born in Karachi, in early 1900s as her father was in the Army.
Interesting to note that in her mid 70s she applied for a UK passport and was told she was an illegal immigrant being 1/2 Pakistani, 1/4 Irish and only a1/4 Scottish and she should report to Home Office for deportation (I think she was 16 when her father left army and returned to Scotland). It did get sorted but it shows the racist brexit type attitude in the UK Govt going back to time of Thatcher. Luckily it got sorted.
I do not identify as British and have refused to renew my EU Purple Passport for the Brittish Blue Book beloved of May and Johnson. Brexit is an English Racist Project. It is not a Scottish one.
Let us hope that in the not too distant future I can regain my EU passport and raise my right middle finger to Little England and it's predominately racist brexiteer population.
Wish Scotland luck in the May Election.

Not related to John Higgins......but I did buy his house. Not the snooker player but the electrician.

Nothing. And what the hell is wrong with not flying one?
Or flying a different flag
@@susanplatt5331 to distract from the fact they're effing useless.

The discussion was about the union flag.
it's because the tories are trying to present a united front by flying the flag when in reality they've done nothing but help the richest people in the country and left everyone else to fend for themselves, I think.
Why bother with a flag when you've got a massive picture of the Queen on the wall?

This Tory obsession is laughable. Unfortunately, Starmer-led Labour is just as stupid.
So what your saying is the SNP are not obsessed with flags. The last time the nationalist obsessives walked down Union Street in Glasgow it was was like a Nuremberg Rally . The only difference is the Nazis where less nationalist.

The Nationals circulation is estimated to be around 9k. Which isn't a lot, but it's nowhere near as small as you're suggesting.

@@Willywin No, The National is a pathetic parochial flag waving Scottish Nationalist newspaper which will ignore all the big stories of the day to shoehorn in anything which relates to independence.
For example it will ignore the Salmond sex trial, will ignore Scotlands atrocious Covid statistics but will cover a story about independence on its front page.
Laughably it sells about 9000 copies.
@@sandersson2813 Why shouldn't it ignore the wrongful prosecution of Salmond who was found innocent of all charges despite the shenanigans of the SNP. Now if it was to ignore the dreadful state of education and the Scottish NHS, the removal of civil liberties under draconian 'hate crime' laws and the drug crisis in Scotland - that would be a different matter.
Can someone explain why British MP's displaying the Union flag is worth mocking. I'm actually bemused.
Also, I find it strange that Tennant doesn't put his earning potential where his mouth is and turn down any work for the British Broadcasting Corporation. Either he somehow doesn't see the hypocrisy, or figures his fellow lefties will care as little about the hypocrisy as he clearly does.
So you don't make a connection with special powers and a flag fixation? How is your European history?
@@thefastandthedead1769 Special powers? Perhaps, you mean like Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 for instance?
@@carlhartwell7978 No not really I am referring to bypassing the normal rule of democracy.
@@thefastandthedead1769 Thing is, bypassing democracy to some extent, and very prominently (not just one flag in the background of zoom calls) showing multiple flags everywhere, weren't the worse crimes of fascism, and those facets are not (on their own) enough to assert that fascism is present.
The kinds of freedoms that have been taken away (with the opposition many times claiming that too little was done) in the last year, imo would certainly give a heavier qualification.
But like I say, the Conservatives didn't bring in Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 either. Okay they haven't repealed it, that's also egregious
I guess my wider point is that just identifying 'some' attributes that 'could' be found in say a fascist regime, isn't necessarily enough to declare it as such.
But okay, if you think implying that everyone you don't agree with is a Nazi, is productive, you go ahead!
