If someone wants to wave a Chinese flag do we really care? It'd be pretty daft to do it, but hey, who cares?

I wonder if anyone will wave the oldest flag in the Wolrd (Welsh one black background and a gold dragon same shape as it is today - no other flag in the world has been used as long as this >1,500 years.

So I was taught at school ).

[TorqueVR]

Have I missed something or have all of you?

Going back to Edinburger's link its states:

"And when the BBC asked the organisers of Glasgow 2014 if spectators could wave a standard Union Flag, they said they could. Although they added that the flag size policy would be applied".

So there's no problem waving the union flag in Scotland, which is part of the Union.

But surely.....the organisers must be evil Tories.

[TorqueVR]

Besides.... If Alex goes to The All ENGLAND Tennis Club in Wimbledon and waves the saltire supporting a BRITISH player, then surely it's OK for the Brits to wave the Union flag, whichever of the 4 nations they are from. How could anyone possibly object?

hmmm - there have been many many commonwealth games over the years....every single one of which has allowed the flying of the union flag (the flag of one of the commonwealth member states)...........I suspect this games is the first time you have had an issue with it.

I wonder why

The fact is - the UK (not Scotland, England, Wales or NI) is listed as a member country of the commonwealth.

Setting a precedent by banning the union flag just for this games based on nothing more than on the technicality that the member countries of the UK compete in separate teams would be a rather petty political statement dont you think?

Members of the UK compete in the games - so the flag is allowed.

Why don't you have a problem with the Isle of Man flags being flown (or competing for that matter). It isn't even a member of the commonwealth and only qualifies because it's association with the UK.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man#Commonwea...

"The Isle of Man is not itself a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. By virtue of its relationship with the United Kingdom, it takes part in several Commonwealth institutions, including the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association and the Commonwealth Games."

Whatev's, bruv.

There's something truly sad about thinking that 'end of' ends anything.

Semantics.

That refers to the Union Jack as part of another flag, such as Australia's. As you know.

It's inappropriate for the stand alone Union Jack to be flown at the games, just as the Chinese, the Russian and Brazilian flags have no place at the games.

End of.

Not the end

We've come to a pretty fking pass when the matter for discussion is whether the union flag is allowed at the commonwealth's games.

Shame on you burger. Utter squirrel nonsense.

So we have the weird obsession with flags

We have the suppression of free speech

We have the book burning (JK rowling moment)

We have the symbol of our best information source


We have a leader who believes that europe will be crushed under foot and be bent to our will


So when are we ordering the snazzy uniforms



Oh yeah we tried that

Lol.

Everytime I see the wings logo I assume it MUST be a wind up. "are we the baddies?". Yes.

[HenryJM]

It does seem strange to model the logo so closely to that of a previous nationalist party, particularly when the outcome of that was so extreme.

An anonymous source, which the EU Commission will not comment on. More straw clutching by the Yes camp.

They have letters from the EU?

Surely they'd be on the scot gov website if true. After all, the letters from Christina to the EU that make the SNP look like total muppets are there, so you'd think they were keen to put up more supportive ones!
