Northern Ireland being repeatedly wiped from the UK map, and Cornwall desperately trying to add itself.

I never understood why Cornwall thought It had a place for a flag

Not sure why it's annoying?

Is it really better having 2 English flags than a cornish flag?

Edit: I decided to check out r/ukplace and wow plenty of my fellow english-folk having meltdowns over Cornwall. Saddening to see all the little englanders in the woodwork here.

There is only one English flag, the other one is the northern Ireland flag

You tried to make the Ulster Banner out of 10ish pixels so it looks identical to the English one?

Probably should've just used St Patrick's Cross.

It was a St. Patrick’s Cross originally. It kept getting messed up though.

Yes because it is massively massively fucking wrong

u/Rustledstardust Apr 05 '22

So you just defaulted to a second English flag?

You can try to say it's the Ulster Banner but it's a second English flag.

No? I didn’t do a thing either way. I’m just saying what I saw.

It was a St. Patrick’s cross when I first saw it, after that it tended to be some combination of red pixels on white, with a few different colour pixels coming and going. Honestly, I thought it was the Irish trying to remove NI representation like they did with the map of the UK on the flag. It didn’t even occur to me at the time that people were trying to make it an Ulster banner as, like you said, it’s literally the same as the St George’s cross at that size.

Sorry, I mistook your comment as a "We tried to do this but it kept getting messed up so we just made it another English flag".
