The Sturgeon woman would probably like to do the same with the Saltire.

Not the Union Flag, of course, as that's a symbol of oppression and racism and perfectly acceptable to denegrate.

In fact, that is already an offence in Germany. The new law is simply to
give the EU flag the same protection as foreign national flags.

Good God, what bunch of pathetic losers would find fault with a
country wanting respect for it's emblems.

Only rubbish like Farage and his loopy followers would be stupid
enough to think that destroying a nations standard has any
significance.

The thing will probably never get into German law anyway and even if
it does, the main purpose of the story is to provide the gutter press
with idiot fodder for their "readers".

None of which need, or should have, any such protection.


It is actually quite a specific protection for national flags and
symbols displayed by foreign missions, such as Consulates and Embassies.
Are you suggesting that foreign diplomats and their missions do not need
to be protected by the state they are in?
