I find the flags of nations to be useful as a child for
identifying with our past as a nation, an empire
owner, a measure
of the colouring of the map as a red phase of
expansion and soon to be retraction.
Consider that we in Maidenhead hold highly, the
union jack and with it Doric colomns, and indeed
some the gnomes of the
underhill that makes the Lord of the Rings. Our
participation a reminder that the colours of blood
and toil are marked as
a flag of endeavour to cover the globe.
Of course hopskotch is also a good communicating
device.
The ends to flags are the attachment of conquest,
the sign of the times, the fears of retrenchment,
and the defence of the
undefenceable.
The mark of the flag to identify with all times in the
UK, and all people's views, of course this is not
always for the positive, the
peaceful, and indeed
the thinkers with foresight but also the
manipulated, the fearful and those open to
propaganda.
Our standards is our measure, our work, our
invention, our business, our culture in a
cosmopolitan society, our represetative of the
nation state. It is
a reminder that to support Britain in sport or
whatever the flag is an easy symbol to count on
support.
It is not always used for the right purpose in my
eyes but there we have it. Without aggression and
pro-our endeavours to remain
an identity in the world economy
we must identify with something, the prime
minister, the nation state and indeed ourselves.
Good luck with the synopsis on flags.
