"Britain! If you ban crosses, ban your flag too!"

I had not thought of that but the Union Jack is nothing more nor less than the union of the Crosses of St. George (England), St. Andrew (Scotland), and St. Patrick (Ireland - the red saltire cross in line with Scotland's white). That is about as Christian an emblem as one could imagine.

That’s right, but I’m afraid their response will be to change their flag. As an Irishman St. Patrick’s Cross shouldn’t even be on it anyway; the original Union Jack didn’t have it (the “X” was only white).
