    Union Flag

    Is it time to end and revert to individual nations flags pre union days?

    & hola from Espanol

    Proposals to fly the Union flag every day on public buildings are set not to apply to Scottish Executive sites.

    The government published the plans last week and they follow Gordon Brown raising the issue of celebrating Britishness in January.

    The SNP said Justice Secretary Jack Straw assured the policy would not cover executive buildings.

    SNP leader Alex Salmond, now first minister, previously said Britishness "went bust long ago" in Scotland.



    A north Wales hotel owner says she is angry at attempts to make her take down the Union Flag outside the building.

    Ruth Barnett removed the flag from Carreg Mon in Llanfairpwll, Anglesey, after complaints, which led to protests from people who wanted it to stay.

    She has now put it back alongside the Welsh dragon flag.

    An unnamed objector on one website said the appearance of the Union Flag as their first sight of Anglesey undermined the "strong and proud Welsh identity" of an island known as Môn Mam Cymru, or "Anglesey - the mother of Wales".
