Petition Union Flag always to be put up correctly or be fined

More details

Too often the Union Flag (often called Union Jack) is flown upside down. No other country would allow this. Can one imagine the French or the US permitting their national fla being upside down through indifference and ignorance? The Japanese have it easy! Manufacturers of bunting are guilty and come the Queen's jubliee and Olympics, millions will celebrate
Under a wrong flag and many more will not know.

Culprits should be forced to put up their flags correctly or face a fine and manufacturers likewise. Th epublication of upside down flags should be banned, even if in the hands of UK medal winners and spectators.
