The flag should never be used for any advertising purpose. It should not be embroidered, printed, or otherwise impressed on such articles as cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes, or anything intended to be discarded after temporary use. Advertising signs should not be attached to the staff or halyard.
Tell that to the booming industry of sticking a flag on everything (oh, but it's a 'symbol of a nation standing against terror' (sic)), particularly the political parties. I've been looking for the relevant legislation on Colombian political parties being banned from using the national colours, but it remains elusive.

[crowd cheers and waves miniature flags]
Anyway, here's a gallery of abuses, both commerical and private.

Brown's all-of-a-sudden bursting into song of Rule Britannia is the most stupid thing I've ever witnessed in politics since (fist in mouth just thinking about it) John Prescott's dancing in May 1997. There won't be any flying of Union Jacks up here, but I'm only to happy to tell Brown where he can stick it instead.

Why didn't Nature correct the errors and highlight the problem, rather than just saying there are errors without revealing exactly what was wrong? Is it the same reason the scientists and philosophers opposed Deep Thought?

This country seems to have sort connection with Poland that I can't quite identify, so it ends up here.
