I'm curious -- why England? English has been spoken in parts of Scotland
for the better part of a thousand years. Not to mention the fact that the vast
majority of English speakers live in Britain's former colonies, not the UK
(which is not to say that's a bad thing -- it's a testament to British governmental
stability and practices).
I'm just nitpicking though. There are obviously just as big problems with
either the US or UK flags.
