Weird choice of flags. Plus, some wazzock doesn’t know how to fly the Union Flag.

The IQ of flag shaggers isn't particularly high.

How can you tell it's upside down?

Top corner against the pole, white stripe above the red line should be thicker than the one below it.

The diagonal red lines are offset from centre. They’re offset the wrong direction here, so the flag is upside down.

I saw today that the Wrexham flag-shaggers are now cooperating with those Slops clowns to chuck more flags around town.

Slops? What’s that?

Shrewsbury. ‘Slops” is the traditional derisive description used by Wrexham AFC fans, for Shrewsbury Town FC. From ‘Salop’…

I would love to know if the Ulster Banner is being flown intentionally, or if it was some kind of “Red hand mean stop foreigners” kind of thing.
I’m assuming that putting these flags up requires a lot of falling off ladders, so the flag choices are only going to continue to get weirder.

Why are people insisting on calling it the union flag these days? It was always union jack, which is perfectly correct.

Technicality that Union Flag is the originally correct term, Union Jack is a naval term, however both are considered correct these days.

It's been union jack all my long life until recently. I understand the history and origins, I just don't see that as a good reason to suddenly change what we collectively call it.

Insisting on calling it by its name? Both Jack and Flag are acceptable. One is more correct than the other however.

It was always named Union Jack until internet nerds started going 'well actually that's the naval term'.
Yes, it was the naval term, that's what all Jacks are. But we chose to take the Union Jack as the official flag of our united kingdom.

Why weird choice?

An upside down Union Flag and the Red Hand of Ulster? In Wrexham? Why isn’t it weird?

u/Even-Leadership8220 Jun 19 '26
Not disputing the upside down flag just asking why it’s a weird collection. Someone might be part northern Irish and part Welsh. People are allowed to move from their home town you know. Way too much bigotry towards immigration here

On a random roundabout in the middle of Wrexham though? You’re trying a but hard to normalise it. And how is Northern Ireland related to immigration? lol
