This is shocking. Burns night is a Scottish celebration, nothing to with the Union Jack, Rabbie X Burns would be turning in his grave!!

Robert Burns was not English. He was born in Ayrshire Scotland. This makes him Scottish.

1) Robert Burns is considered the National Bard of Scotland, not the United Kingdom. 2) Burns Supper is the second most important holiday in Scotland after Saint Andrew’s Day. It has little meaning to most non-Scots in the rest of the United Kingdom, but is celebrated throughout the world by people of Scottish descent and Scottish expatriates as well as those who love and respect Burns’s works. 3) One of Robert Burns’s works is “Parcel o’ Rogues” which castigated the Scottish men who sold the freedom of Scotland for gold and created the United Kingdom. For these reasons we find it improper to have the flag of the United Kingdom as an icon when celebrating Burns Supper. We ask that you respect the memory of Robert Burns and the request of the undersigned and change the icon to the flag of Scotland.

Rabbie Burns is Scotland's national bard, not the UK's, therefore the union flag is not appropriate and should be replaced with the saltire.

"I have often said to myself, what are the advantages Scotland reaps from this so called Union, that can counterbalance the annihilation of her independence and her very name." Robert Burns

Burns night is a celebration of Scottishness and the saltire would be far more appropriate.

I feel it's outrageous that your using the U.K flag to celebrate burns night. As you're aware Rabbie Burns was Scottish so please give us our Scottish flag. You're ignoring the Scottish people's identity by not acknowledging our flag!!
