It says Great Britain on the chest, but looks more like Russia to me. Are they afraid that Union Jack is representing nationalism or what?

The USA is having the same problem with the American flag. It offends some minorities, so everyone has to do without it at certain times and places.

I know not all here would agree, but I really like Russia, they have their heart in the right place and won’t put their nose where it doesn’t belong.

 

In my homeland (Norway) the flag is the essence of who we are, it’s a badge of honour and noone would ever think the thought of refusing anyone the right to wave it, it has never been a question of ethnicity (though there has been those who tried).

In my birthplace (Sweden) it’s rather the opposite; it has gone so far as a prohibition to let school children sing the national anthem in several places as it could “exclude children whose PARENTS were BORN outside of Sweden”.

Of course it’s a t~~~ who designed the new uniforms, smells like radical egalitarianism to me. This is what you reap when you have women running things.
