Well, this quite something!
Just when you thought the government’s flag obsession had plateaued they have gone and turned it up a notch.
This time it is the lucky Welsh who get the chance to stand in awe of an eight-story Union flag in Cardiff, draped on the HMRC office block.
As we slide into nationalism a recent law has meant that government buildings must flag the flag, just in case you forget where you are.
Northern Ireland does not have to follow the rules, as they know how incendiary that might be.
Sticking one up in Wales, with raising support for Welsh independence, is not the same level but it will undoubtedly annoy a lot of people.
Of course, those who love the union will adore the flag, perhaps wanting an even larger one next time.
How big is the government willing to go?
Well that’s something to look forward to over the next few years.
As expected the Twitterati made their thoughts clear on the matter…

However, some people thought it was fine.
