The St George's Flag

Richard Herring's Objective Series 1
Episode 3 of 4

Richard Herring asks why the English rarely wave their flag with national pride. With Emma Kennedy. From October 2010.

Comedian Richard Herring is reclaiming the English National Flag from any associations with far right extremists.

Why does the man and woman on the street have no idea when St George's day is? Who is St George?

Richard asks a vexillologist (flag expert) about how flags have come to symbolise nations.

He also talks to anthropologist Kate Fox who has studied the behaviour of the English, about why the English are not natural flag waving patriots.
