It's telling that it's always the English flag, not the British flag. That's always been the theme running through this all, including Brexit. England is the only bit that counts, that matters, that even exists.

Sadly, the English flag has come to mean racism.

Meanwhile, most of the rest of the world (perhaps shamefully) could likely not even tell you what England's flag looks like.

The notion that “Britain” functionally means “England first, everyone else second” on the other hand, has been pretty visible from outside looking in for…pretty much all of my life, really.
