As an Englishman I'm ashamed I got that wrongActually, that's the flag of England. Cross of St. George*. Red on white.
Scotland's is St. Andrew's, white on blue.
Run them through a blender, you get the Union Jack
*Saint George's cross was the emblem of the Republic of Genoa. Apparently England paid for the privilege of using it
Are you an American by any chance?I've been trying to figure out what a "Brexiters" is for months now.

Not even 2pm here and now I got a headache and am really konfused.It was too long, but here's the entry that was cut.... please be aware that it was never reviewed by experts so may contain inaccuracies.
brexiter definition
A person (UK citizenship) not as concerned with economic benefits as they are concerned with self-rule. They believe a committee of governing idiots far away can't be as good as a committee of idiots nearby. They are people that believe in giving something a go because it sounds good, but after trying it for a while don't mind admitting they were either wrong or too drunk to know better the first time around. It's not like they didn't try to make it work, but in the case of the EU it took 28 to tango. But between the actual problems and the downright lies and misinformation going on in 2016, who wouldn't want to say adios m***** f***** to that? Fortunately, unlike playing around with communism (which can sound good when you're drunk), there was a way to leave peacefully (not counting the rioting of course). It's been over a year now and I'm told they're still mostly friends. Unknown is how brexiters feel about citizens (e.g., Scottland) wanting to break away from the UK. In American terms, a brexiter would otherwise be akin to an anti-federalist.
There is a theory that many Brits joined and then quit the EU just to piss off the French. This is mostly just the French as they feel many brits are still annoyed about that uppity Joan woman that drove them off the European continent and if anyone was going to do it again it should have been them. There is no actual truth to this as Joan of Arc is a very minor footnote barely taught in British schools and if asked about Joan most Brits think of Joan Baez, even though she's American.
