Seems like an outbreak of patriotism in England, with perhaps some underlying politics in the background.

A couple have appeared near me. My initial reaction was annoyance as I was associating them with Reform types - which is a sad reaction to seeing our flag. We seem to be moving more towards American culture with this and moving away from traditional Englishness - which is ironic.

I think this is part of the problem. The sight tends to make one think massive racist fuckpuffin in splashcuba's flow chart. Probably even more so for the awest of Scotland it tends since to be flown for sectarian reasons here, though possibly the red hand of Ulster is even more indicative of that. Indeed we have lots of fun with flags here. Adding in the Irish flag, and the Palestinian flag with all the others.
