'Cuba has been swept by a new craze - the red, white and blue of the UK's flag.
The Union flag is now all the rage, sported by young Cubans on their clothes, nails - and even spotted as tattoos, and shaved into the back of people's heads.
While for some it is just another fashion symbol, others say the trend began with the London Olympics, which were followed avidly in Cuba and hugely popular.'

Weird.
Maybe Cuba isnt that bad after all, LOL.
Cuba, we’ll give you Piers Morgan FOR FREE!
I second that!
Give these leeches who come to America to the limeys. They love the brits, right? ;)
Britain is already full of Pakistanis. The Cubans will have to go somewhere else.
I’ve heard it called a British flag and a Union Jack, but never a British Jack nor a Union flag...
Technically the Union or the Union Jack is acceptable. A jack flag is generally termed as the colours of a ship. So ....jack flag.
The Union Flag is in fact its correct name, although it is very rarely used.

Thanks!
Some of the Brits are apologizing to the Pakistanis for having the crosses of St. George and St. Andrew in their flag....maybe Cuba appreciates it.
Hmmm, are they, really?.
This Brit hasnt seen any such evidence.
I thought for certain I had seen a story to that effect on this site....I am hard-pressed to find it now.
The best I can do:

Hi.
Actually I DO remember the second story, I remember nothing of course came of it. Nobody takes the CofE seriously here. By the by, the Daily Mail is notorious for wrong or exaggerated stories.
We will slice him in bite size pieces for free also.
