I don't think you do
Particularly the union flag - and since various big sporting successes I think some of that stigma has gone.

We should be reclaiming it - we deserve to have the same pride as the Scots and the Welsh and the Irish have. We have no more to be ashamed of and no less to be proud of :)

Yes, I agree,
but British nationalism is always being hijacked by extremists.
Anyway, I quite enjoy the other, British custom of being overly cynical and thinking that everything is shit. :¬)

why not fly the english flag?
It avoids the BNP shite, and you neatly avoid imperialistic abuses as well as having pride in the country that is england (which usually does tremendously well at sport anyway).
