Using the flag of the UK.... on campaign material for a UK political party? Jaysus lads, what were they thinking?!
Unless it's used in a jingoistic way (think wrapped around a 19th century military figure that has their boots on the backs of the poor whilst proclaiming Britons never never shall be slaves type of thing) then I really don't get why Labour party members are in fighting about such a thing instead of concentrating on winning a thumping majority.
I think the electorate is smart enough to understand this.

Ok, but it wasnt there before so why add it now? it is very clearly to appeal to nationalists.
conservatives have always used the Union Jack prominently but Labour has been pretty subtle about it. it is clearly a deliberate choice.
