Glad I no longer live in the UK as the kind of stuff below drives me crazy.

"Cry 'God for Harry, England and Saint George!'" King Henry V's rallying cry does not go over very well in modern, multicultural England. Even less acceptable is Saint George's flag, a red cross quartering a white background, which was carried prominently into battle by the Crusaders of 900 years ago in their attempts to recover the Holy Land from ... persons of a certain "faith tradition." The cross of Saint George was later taken up as the national flag of England, and is commonly flown on the saint's name day, April 23. Such grossly insensitive displays must of course be stamped out. That, at any rate, is the opinion of Ms. Anne Owers, Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons.
