City Hall flags demonstrate diversity in UK



http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3646807/Last-words-MP-Jo-Cox-assistant-revealed.html

Flags were flown at half mast outside City Hall, London last week, following the tragic death of MP Jo Cox. Jo Cox was meeting her constituents when a man attacked her. 

As an MP Jo supported difference and diversity and said in Parliament; "Whilst we celebrate our diversity, the thing that surprises me time and time again as I travel around the constituencies is that we are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us."

There were vigils around the UK to remember Jo Cox. 

What do you see in the picture?
What is the building for? (City Hall is the HQ for the London assembly)
What do the three flags represent?
Why are they being flown at half mast?
What did Jo Cox mean by, "we have far more in common that that which divides us"?
How does that relate to what we say about No Outsiders?
City Hall could just fly a Union Jack. Why do you think they want to also fly a Rainbow flag and a European Union flag?
What can we learn from City Hall and this photo?
Do you think people in City Hall would agree with what we say about No Outsiders? How do you know?
