    hmmm. from what i remember one gets 20 lashes with the cat’o nine tails for flying the flag upside down in england.

    And then you ship them to Australia?

    That explains it then

    not really. the uk tends to ship backpackers, the rich, doctors&nurses [and other health care professionals], scotch whisky, and very poor cricketers to australia, these days

    those found guilty of sedition now only get the cat and [maybe] 6 months in an open prison if the flower borders need hoeing

    Well then there’s the question of how you can TELL if the union jack is being flown upside down
