Given that the Danish flag preceeds the English one as a national flag, perhaps the English one should be included as a copycat as well?

The English flag is not a Nordic Cross

Of course. It's a totally different thing. No similarity or common roots whatsoever.

Are you a professional escalator of conflicts or are you just a very good amateur?

It's St. George's cross, not a Nordic cross. The same design is on the flags of Georgia (the country) and Barcelona.

And the first guy to make this thread about "The Nordic Cross" was the guy who got pissed at me. The original post jokes about the similarity - but talk about visual similarity and in no way restrict this to be about Nordic Cross flags.
