What I don't get
is why the Union, Welsh and Scottish flags are fine, but the St. George's cross is controversial. I could understand it if it were a flag of a nation with a terrible history like, say, the nazi flag, but the English one should, if anything, be the opposite of that.

it's hard to put a finger on exactly
It's just a vague sense of something.
for a while it was used by nationalist groups like the BNP, and though it's been re-appropriated more recently, nationalist groups like the EDL still use it.
I guess the association lingers at the back of the mind for some people, even though in other contexts it absolutely shouldn't be a problem.
