I am confused by some of these commentsGarrick wrote:Eddie Izzard is brilliant but just to educate lunchmoney:
1) The last English Monarch was Elizabeth 1 and after that the kings and queens of Britain have been Scottish, Dutch and German but there has never been an English monarch of Britain, pre, during or post Empire!
2) The oldest national flag in the world is the Scottish Saltire "the flag originated in a 9th-century battle, where Óengus II led a combined force of Picts and Scots to victory over the Angles, led by Æthelstan. A miraculous white saltire appeared in the blue sky and Óengus' troops were roused to victory by the omen. Consisting of a blue background over which is placed a white representation of an X-shaped cross, the Saltire is one of Scotland's most recognisable symbols." and also Scotland's first victory over the English then known as Angleish (Germans who could swim).
3) The Union Jack is predominantly the Scottish Saltire with some English and Welsh Graffiti on it.
4) The incumbent Prime Minister of Britain is English but the previous 2 have been Scottish and currently Nicola Sturgeon is more popular with English voters than any of the plonkers they can actually vote for!
Do I need to go on?

A claim I have heard before but usually argued as the Dannebrog (Danish flag) is the oldest continuously used national flag.Darkson wrote:Danish flag is the oldest national flag. The saltaire might have been in use longer but didn't become the national flag until after that of Denmark.
