The English flag unfortunately was hijacked by the EDL-and-similar decades ago... it's genuinely a shame to see the Union Jack now going the same way. Because the thing about symbolism is that you don't get to choose what it symbolises, and it does matter... once that association is there, it's very hard (if not impossible) to undo it.
