In many ways, the flags of many countries, as with the statues now being threatened with removal, stand as reminder of the darker side of history; the British flag most certainly being no exception
Now many people seem to be wakening up to their nations' chequered pasts, I will be interesting to see if they are subjected to the same scrutiny
If things continue on the road they have steadily taken following Brexit, the term 'Union Flag' will become an embarrassing reminder rather than a description of how things really are
