Why is the white on the Union Jack thin on one side and thick on the other?

because the English only wanted the English flag to be correct which is the Saint George flag or red cross on a white background, so the diagonal cross is offset. the earlier union flag didn't have any red diagonal lines on it. they were probably added for symmetry. I'm not an expert, someone probably knows a little more about the history
