Neither!! Thank you.
But this is a good question because when you think about the horror of what the Swastika stood for, it starts you thinking about what the Union Jack stood for, and frankly i find it hard to be proud of that record.
Personally i would prefer no flags or banners, they originated on the battlefield as a rallying point for soldiers, and have always acted as a way to gather small groups of people together and set them against each other.
Divisive symbols don't help, so ban all flags!!!

No comparrison really, the Swastika (or crocked man) is a flag which most people will find disgusting, due to its connection to the Nazis party and only lasted in existance legally for 11 years. However anyone who is linked to the Ancient religions of India, Egypt and the Teutonic states will know it for other reasons as well.
The Flag of the Union of the United Kingdom, is a flag that has been in existance for approximatley 300 years only and comprises the flags of 3 territories which are linked together (just) politically.
Also the Swastika was only used for 1 country, meanwhile the Union Flag is found in many countries throughout the world either in a corner, or used as its main flag with its own emblum in the centre.
So with this in mind, the Union Flag.

OK! THE "UNION JACK" IS A FLAG only flown from the 'jack' (small flag pole) at the rear of a ship.
and a swastika reversed was an Egyptian symbol of peace.
