Happy Statute of Westminster Day to all who celebrate!
Remember the flag rules:
2 or more poles, fly the Union Jack!
1 pole only, give yourself some slack!
0 poles available, rules unclear!
@evan it's often repeated "Vimy Ridge, WWI" as a major factor behind it. I wonder what the actual major factors were. Intended to defuse labour/communism/socialism I think. Worked OK. The wealthy of the UK, the globes elites at the time, broke up the crown's empire to save their own skins.
No longer could the crown's empire serve as a focal target for socialism.
