REGARDING Gary Bowers' remarks (letters, February 19) about flying the Union flag on all public buildings, does he not realise that some people living in this country find this offensive? -- Though why, I would love to have explained to me.

When you are called a racist for flying the Union Flag things have gone too far. You are either British and the flag is yours, or you are not.
