Here in the UK flags are rare, I don't think there is a single one in the entire village. I think people here on the whole, are intelligent enough to realise rallying behind a picture printed in a piece of cloth doesn't really say or achieve much. It's more something the ruling class encourage to distract you from their meddling in/with your life.
That hits my personal view on the matter fairly well.
There's no sense in being proud about the piece of dirt that i fell out of my mother on.
Not saying your piece of dirt isn't good, or that the people on it havent achieved good things, but it wasn't an achievement to be born here.
Nothing my piece of dirt has done in the past reflects on who I am as a person and what I do with my life.
