The diagonal white bits are the Scottish cross.

The whole thing is the Scotland flag with the red bits from the English and Irish flags on top.
And a bit of a white border for the English bit.

In other words ...
"It's a fucking ugly flag anyway.
And nobody knows what the bollocks it represents."

Yeah.
I'd prefer an animal flag. A lion, or George and the Dragon.

I like the idea that because it is not symetrical
Flying it upside down would by un-noticable to enemies yet would send a distress signal secretly to possible reinforcements.

couldnt find the example i was tought but its breifly mentioned here

Right, hence the white borders around the red cross.
