And I quote:Why? It's a Union Jack wherever it's flown, not just at sea.
It is sometimes claimed that the Union Flag should be described as the Union Jack only when flown in the bows of a warship, but this is a relatively recent idea. From its earliest days, the Admiralty often referred to the flag – however it was used – as the Union Jack. In 1902 an Admiralty Circular announced that either name could be used officially. And in 1908 the UK Parliament approved this verdict, stating that ‘the Union Jack should be regarded as the National flag’.And I quote:
"Sometime around 1674 the British flag became formally known as the 'Union Jack' when mounted on a warship and the ship was not in harbour. At the same time the British flag was referred to as the 'Union flag' on land."

Where you quoting that from?
The official Royal Family website says this -
It may come from the 'jack-et' of the English or Scottish soldiers, or from the name of James I who originated the first union in 1603.
Another alternative is that the name may be derived from a proclamation by Charles II that the Union Flag should be flown only by ships of the Royal Navy as a jack, a small flag at the bowsprit; the term 'jack' once meant small.

Well, it would help if he didn’t exclude the very next sentence to try and back up his point.Fair enough. I would think the Royal Family's own views on the matter make more sense though.
me same but I now know the difference between a Union flag and a Union jack <<<<>>>>>nothing they both the sameI am still in shock that the FF detective agency hasn’t got Bernadette‘s details yet
Not going to disagree mate. My mistake for ommitting out the follow on part.Well, it would help if he didn’t exclude the very next sentence to try and back up his point.
And I quote:
“This rule was relaxed by the early nineteen century when the sailing term could be used when referring to the national flag everywhere.”
Who am I to disagree with the Royal Family? I merely looked for a quick link to give a quick clarification to a question on the flag.Fair enough. I would think the Royal Family's own views on the matter make more sense though.

What an absolute moose!! (Once you open the video). And if she's a dental nurse I'd rather pull my own teeth out.
Can someone put the video on for us who don't use FB, please?What an absolute moose!! (Once you open the video). And if she's a dental nurse I'd rather pull my own teeth out.
That's exactly what it is. She's obviously done it in her GC for a laugh and one of her pals has threw her under a bus and shared it.Sounds fake or some daft twat making it for likes.
If you think that should be reported to the polis I'd hate for you to see half the shit in my group chat with the boys ffs..All laughing and joking aside, that bigoted narrow minded rant is quite sinister.
Threatening violence,intolerance of other people of religion other than her own.
She should be easy enough to identify and be reported to the police for threatening property damage.
Spare me any patter about "grasses", if that was one of us on a rant like that,it would be in every media outlet in Scotland and questions raised in the toy town Parliament.
.I'd love to know
Love the irony in the statement that she finds the red hand of ulster, a symbol of Irish origin is somehow sectarian
Utterly psychologically deranged cretin
It shouldn't be mate but you know exactly what it would be like if it was the other way around.If you think that should be reported to the polis I'd hate for you to see half the shit in my group chat with the boys ffs..
