Home Secretary Sajid Javid Refuses Plea to Fly British Flag at UK Border Posts
By Liam Deacon

Home Secretary Sajid Javid has rejected calls for Britain to fly the national flag above all border posts, where people enter and leave the country, as many other nations do.
The request was sent to Sajid Javid by independent Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Janice Atkinson, who argued it would be a positive sign for people arriving at British sea and airports.
The representative of the South-East region said that, as the United Kingdom approaches Brexit, it would “provide a warm and welcome sign of national embrace for returning and departing UK citizens and act as a reminder that they belong to a patriotic, decent and proud country.”
In a letter to Mr Javid, seen by the Daily Mail, she called for Britain to follow numerous other nations that routinely fly their national flags at ports of entry.
Ms Atkinson argued that now was a particularly important time for such a move, writing: “As we embark on the new and exciting Brexit chapter in our history, I would like to see our Union Flag flown high at our ports of entry, starting at embarkation and continuing into the customs hall…”
She added: “There is nothing jingoistic about welcoming home travellers or sending them off on their travels with a metaphoric hug or wave from the country of which they are citizens.”

I was going to ask if Mr. Javid might be more comfortable with the border checkpoints flying this flag.....

but that would soon be out of date, now wouldn't it?
