Government shouldn't fly any flag except the national flag. It either represents ALL the people or it represents none of the people and flying a particular group's flag is showing favoritism.

Any flag that the government chooses to fly must be displayed at a lower level to that of it's own. Or equal level on neutral grounds to a foreign government. As for movements, or religious flags. These are not things for a government body to encourage or discourage, to take on as an aspect of it's identity.

I tend to agree with you here.

I found this the other day and found it interesting. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/15438/flying_flags_guide.pdf
