A word of caution for anyone thinking about flying the St Andrew's Cross - the confedirate flag is based on this flag and sadly both can have racist/extremist connotations in the deep south. We find it very sad that when all around are flying their national flags that ours can be offensive to some ( especially with our national heritage of equality, a man's a man for aw that etc).

Drew I have been having a battle with my local council for the same reasons above. As far as im
concerned im flying my countries flag and if people have an issue with it, then dont walk past
my house and look at it.

If its offensive to some, which no doubt it is, then my philosophy is that its like the telly
if you dont like it turn it off, or in this case dont look

If the council say you can't fly your countries flag then it's they who are being offensive to you.

to

probably some idiot kicking up a fuss to make his job seem more important than it is . I bet they wouldn't dare complain if it was a foreign flag,nor should they , but you should't be discriminated against for being English (isn't that racism)

Before you fly too many flags I would check in you HOA rules ours does state one only.
Its worth checking when they can fine you $10 for not putting your bin back up thr drive, I shudder to think what they may do to you for flying too many flags...........[msnscared]

Hi
Which Confederate flag ?
Do you mean the Battle flag ?
If so I think it is on the Mississippi state flag any way.
How sad that people are scared to display their national flag.
Fly your flag friends !!!!!!!! what ever country your from.
