I am aware of it's name, being of Irish decent I have headd it used and as I said it is a name given by the irish for it.The 'Butchers Apron' ~ aka the 'Union Jack' - UK Indymedia
The vast majority of people who make it to the UK, seeking asylum come from former British Colonies. Countries that the UK plundered of natural resources and when forced to depart, left most of the countries in political turmoil the ramifications of which still bedevil these countries today. It...www.indymedia.org.uk
never heard anyone else use it or on my travels to places we have invaded, jus tbecause some article written recently uses it when discussing immigration doesn't meam it is a wide spread or common name for it outside Ireland and it's Diaspora and decendants.
personally it is an outdated flag that should be used ceremonally for UK events like team gb or governmental procedingsand nowt else, each nation has a flag use them
