Three in five say they want MORE national flags to be flown in public

Three in five Brits want to see more Union Jack or St George's Cross flags being flown in public spaces across the country, a new poll has revealed.

The survey by More In Common found 58 per cent of Brits think there should be more UK or English flags on display on street furniture such as lampposts and roundabouts.

This compared to 42 per cent who don't think there should be more flags on display.

The research was carried out after huge numbers of Union Jack and St George's Cross flags were put up in cities, towns and villages in recent weeks.

Campaigners put the flags on display following an online movement called 'Operation Raise the Colours'.
