The red diaganal cross is the cross of St Patrick. Because Wales is merely a Principality it does not feature on the Union Flag. St David's cross is a yellow cross on a black background.
Quite right ,
Now sit down son and listen to your elders ,
The black and gold St Davids cross came into exsistance in 1921 following acceptance of the union untill then they'd flew under the shared Celtic flag of St Pat
Wales since then has had 2 further National flags a red , white , and green tricolour with a black star and the red Dragon rampant on a white and green background as we know today

This reminds me of something that happened when my brother died. My mum took a badge off his jacket because he'd always worn it and stuck it on her fleece. It was a Union Jack, with some writing on it, too small for her to read without her glasses, but not enough words to bother about. So off she went to Asda, complete with union jack that said Asylum, love off home.
Before you say owt, I dont condone the badge or it's meaning, I just find it hilarious that my mum wore it to Asda
I have a pub in leigh and on the front have a had a tasteful banner approx 12ft long in place for about a week advertising the fact we'll be celebrating St.Georges Day. I saw young ethnic minority children attempting to rip it off, they managed to rip it in two totally ruining it. When i shouted to them they swore at me and ran off. Theres more and more off them wandering about at night,in school hours doing things like this surely this what they've done is a racist act
Its only a racist act if they were doing it because of their, or your, race. More likely it was just a couple of scroats who happen to be of a different ethnic background. It's low-life scum acting true to type, but it's almost certainly nothing to do with race.
BTW, St George was the Lebanese son of a Palestinian woman and a Roman soldier. An appropriate patron for our multicultural nation to be proud of, I'd say.

The dragon is not "Rampant" it is in fact "Passant" !

Good post. I have nothing against anyone in this country because of where they come from ... I have a huge problem with scroats and sallies, regardless of where they come from.
Its on the 23rd of April ( which is also the day Leigh's ont Telly)
As it's St George's Day (and his flag is red and white) and Leigh are on TV (and you lot are always going on about showing your colours off) surely there's a mareting opportunity in there somewhere???
(and yes, before someone tells me, I know St George's flags in Leigh will have to be Cherry and white?! )

plus I'm more into the future than the past so I've edited your post with the important bit
Love him or hate him, 163 consecutive appearances should make Stuart Littler a Salford legend in anyone's book
