    Cross of St. George

    Best flag. Shame on those racists who negged you.

    Every time I see it I always think of various strawberry jam/sauce and cream. Any combination. Whipped cream, clotted cream. Oh man. I definitely vote it as the tastiest looking flag.

    I have forgot to mention Bhutan's flag. It contains a typical Chinese dragon which are my favorites. That's why I like one.

    There are three stripes in black, red and gold, not anymore! Although its a nice combination of color in my opinion, its just boring. What is so interesting in a German flag?

    Because nationality = race. But seriously, what would someone have against the English flag?

    Umm, nationality is not the same as race.

    The English flag is a symbol of imperialism.

    Oh dear. It must intimidate you whenever you see it right?

    I generally see it as a symbol of peace, honesty, hardiness, bravery, strength & valour

    Its a dharmacakra (wheel) which was established in Indian flag in 1947 after political and economical Independence of India. In the proper sense its a symbol for doctrines of Buddhism.

    I've never heard the Flag of England being used as an example of imperialism before.

    OT: The Welsh flag, hands down. Original compared to most others.

    No, not really intimidation.

    I only really see that flag on tsr from imperial apologists and in soccer games.

    England led Britain with its empire, and should be held accountable for the majority of the damage caused by british imperialism.

    Is the sky in the background of the wales flag white because it rains and is cloudy there all the time?

    Saffron, white and green were chosen for the three bands, representing courage and sacrifice, peace and truth, and faith and chivalry respectively.

    The wheel represents the dynamism of a peaceful change towards independence.
