Cause if you do it makes you the bigot, just like that fool above you who's arse you're kissing.

Why are you completely repeatedly ignoring context? An England flag at an England sporting event - normal. An England flag up a pole in someone's bac garden - probably EDL sympathisers. That seems like a fairly obvious truth.
Likewise, flying the GB flag at the olympics or when there's a new Royal or whatever if that floats your boat - normal. Having a big ol' Union Jack in your bedroom window - 99% of the time a nationalist/anti-immigration statement.
You can deny it all you want, you know it's true.
The implications of the saltire are slightly different - someone flying one is most likely indicating that they're pro-independence. Someone flying a Union Jack in Scotland most likely indicating that they're a Unionist: that also doesn't really apply in England (as we saw above most English folks seem to think the England flag and Union Jack are interchangeable/both effectively English flags). The sociological situation is different.
But also no
Despite being pro-independence, I wouldn't stick a Saltire in my garden or window.
