I think it's because the Australian flag has British flag in the top left corner. The blue part is Scotland, red vertical and horizontal flag is England. The red diagonal is Northern Ireland.
Basically, Scotland want independence from the UK, and probably don't want to be part of that flag, so that is likely why the blue is being placed over the red.
Well, 45% of those who voted last time wanted independence. Not quite accurate to simply say Scotland wants it.
Fair point. The ones ruining it are amongst that 45%, I would assume.
It's possible, I dunno. The British have made plenty of enemies over the years tbh!
That is true. Probably why there is a drop of blood hanging off the union jack. However, when someone is not only overwriting the British flag, but with the blue pixels and shape of the Scottish flag, it cannot be a coincidence.
Oh, you mean that bit in the middle at the bottom? I never even noticed that. Yeah, could well be.
But if that were the xase shouldn't they be removing the blue not adding it?
