Legal right to fly the Union Jack and St. Georges cross everywhere safe

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Make it a legal right to fly the Union Jack on private property and there can be no repercussions for flying the flag anywhere in the country. But of course in the quite unlikely event there could be serious physical harm or damage done flying the flag then it may be taken down and moved

This is England, and we have a flag, but if it has got to the point where our flags are being taken down within our country, something is seriously wrong. The risk of offending someone must not be the reason to take the flag down. If you don't like it, learn to respect the country you are in or leave. You can debated and challenge all you want, but you are in England, and this is the flag. If people want to show patriotism and pride in the country, let them, it should be a legal right!

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

There are no laws preventing individuals flying the Union flag on their private property.
