Nope, pretty much always happened. Happens throughout Europe and often with an EU flag, and a flag of the nation. It’s important to many people and should take the flag back from the extreme right, which despite many people’s protestations otherwise are not extreme right. They’re nearly back to being the conservatives of the 80’s.Every time I see a photograph of a government minister in their office, there are normally two large union flags prominently displayed. I'm sure this never used to be the case and suspect it's all about the Johnson/Brexit Party's claim to be deeply patriotic, inferring that anyone who opposes them isn't. (Ironic really, given that when it comes to caring about one's country and society, Johnson would feature fairly in the nether reaches of any league table, since the thing he cares about above everything else is himself)
