Depends what you are flying it for. Unfortunately in England the flag of St George has become linked strongly with football - if i wanted to fly a flag, people would assume it was for the football. So I would fly the union jack.
Plus I see myself as British instead of English. (Thats what I put on forms where it says nationality).

I personally wont fly the union jack for two reasons.
I don't believe we can call ourselves the United Kingdom. If we were a united kingdom then Scotland and Ireland wouldn't have their own parliaments and we would all live together on this bit of rock under the one rule.
I also don't believe we can call ourselves Great Britain because i personally don't think there is anything particularly great about it.
And until recently the only thing i really liked about England was the footie.
god this countries turned into a Toilet.
Maybe its time to move out.

That is entirely up to you, as long as you are a private citizen. If you have an official function or public office, you will use the Union Flag (it is only the Union Jack when used by ships of the Royal Navy as a jack) or the appropriate version of it.

Just to clarify matters it is union flag not union jack, only called union jack when flown from a jack staff on a war ship, unfortuneatly St geoges flag has been highjacked by a football club, so if you are a football fan fly St geoges flag

I don't care, I'm proud of being British and I'm proud of being english.
If possible I think both should be flown, but personally I think I'd fly the Union Jack most of the time, maybe switching for a while when sport is on or around St. Georges day.

Either sounds good to me but I don't know much about it. Why not the union jack and would you be annoyed if the Scots started flying their flag instead of the union jack? I think it might be divisive.

two points:
1. the union jack is only called the union jack if flown on a ship - otherwise it is the union flag.
2. it doesnt include everyone anyway! wales is not included in the flag.
therefore, i say keep the Union Flag though for unity

Depends upon the situation doesn't it. For clarification, it is only called the Union Jack if it is displayed at sea, on land it is the Union Flag
