The Flags of Disunion

The Flag of Cornwall
Brixton Blog has spent a long Easter weekend in Cornwall. However, she was still thinking of the homeland when she took this photograph for my benefit. It is Saint Piran’s Flag, otherwise known as the Cornish flag. It’s a good flag. Very striking. I like its darkness. Points the imagination to a troubled rebel heart. And best of all, it’s very visible in Kernow.
It set me thinking of the various – often unofficial – flags of local identity within both the “United” Kingdom, of which this is one of the most prominent, and the rest of the world.
I should like to share some with you…

The Flag of the Confederate States of America

I’ll be damned if I don’t make the flag of South London into a patch for my arm. Damned I say

is maintained over here.
