The new U.K.T.V. channel blatantly
defaces the Union Jack.
“Blighty’s new, fun slogan is “One nation under a channel”. The on-air branding is being developed by UKTV’s marketing team in partnership with Red Bee. And with a logo like that, I for one, can’t wait to see the campaign idents and adverts roll out.”
With “stars” such as Louis Theroux and Andrew Marr
being touted.
It’s hardly surprising that they are happy to deface our flag.
“Flag desecration is a blanket term applied to various ways of intentionally defacing or dishonoring a flag, most often a national flag (though other flags are defaced as well). Often, such action is intended to make a political point against a country or its policies.
Some countries have laws forbidding specific methods of defacement (such as burning) or forbidding particular uses considered improper (such as use for commercial purposes). Often such laws only apply to the country’s own flag.”

“The UK, like Australia, does not have specific restrictions against dishonouring the national flag (or the personal standards of the head of state and other royal family members). The extent of protection for flag burning as free speech under EU and international human rights charters has not been tested, for example through a case before the European Court of Human Rights.”
