I do agree with claiming symbols. Although, I think context matters a lot. A swastika on a Buddhist statue is great. A swastika on a skin-head's forehead sends a different message. In the same way, I think this symbol in black on the British flag could be misinterpreted. I think moving it off the flag was the best option for everyone.
Ehhh I would be kind of wary about a black cross like that on the British flag, do you have any screenshots?
My church has the Jerusalem cross incorporated in it's bookplate, with symbols and writings related to the history of The Church Catholick, so usually I'd associate it with that.
The British flag is already a Christian symbol, it doesn't need an extra cross
Here's what it looked like:
Ah yeah that looks well dodgy so it does
I haven't really seen a cross like that before, it's lacking the four evangelist crosses of the Jerusalem cross
