  • The Vexed Question of Vexillology – Part 1

    Or, the reasons, rationale and reappearance of flags in the ‘UK’.

    As 2025 has unfolded, so have many flags, or the word is probably unfurled for a flag, but however it is said, flags have reappeared in 2025 as centre stage. Vexillology is big, but not many folks would know the word, but everybody knows what a flag is.

    This blog, being written by an autistic human, of course in the network of autistic humans there is now and again a human will know every single flag of the world and can prove that within a few seconds, but possibly the identification of flags does not come under Vexillology as such, or maybe forms a subsection of its own within the overall subject area of Vexillology.

    In observing this increasing appearance of flags in the ‘UK’ in 2025, and as this blog is written entirely from the measurement of Helios to Earth to gravity, this reappearance of such physical statements raises so many curious angles. Is there a word of Vexillolosophy? Probably not, but the philosophy of the study of the history and societal position of flags is not really allowed to be discussed in these modern times, and is that because it links back through the jurisdiction of borders, through religion, conflicts, definition, and all of those do ultimately link back, whatever the viewpoint (point-of-view has to link back also to physical) of the human in these multitude of social, political, religious, global, technological and science fictional beliefs in the public realm of today.
