Scottish Politicians Huff and Puff Patriotically


Scottish politicians in Scotland have forced an enormous back down by their Scottish colleagues in Westminster.

Public buildings in Scotland will be allowed to fly the Saltire year-round following a government climbdown in response to pressure from nationalists.

UK ministers will this week announce the lifting of restrictions on flag flying that have been in force since 1924. The rules stipulate that the Union Jack must must take precedence over all national flags on 18 days each year.

Scottish government buildings with only one flagpole must take down the Saltire and replace it with the Union Jack on specified national days including the Queen's birthday, Remembrance Day and Commonwealth Day. The decision to give the Saltire equal status has been welcomed by the Scottish National party. “It's a recognition that we are in charge of our flag flying arrangements,” said a senior Scottish government source.


Wow! Important stuff. The Scots are now in charge of flag flying. Now that they have won the big one, how about fixing the roads?
