...says Ian Lucas (a Welsh MP): "I believe that the Union flag should change now to reflect the four nations of the United Kingdom - England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales."

So far, so dull. Then Serious Business occured. The Telegraph ran a poll as to which one of the reader-submitted ones was most popular and, well...


The (anonymous, naturally) designer speaks:
Quote
"It represents shouting "UNION!" and joining together; kicking reason to the curb and doing the impossible; fighting the power, and piercing the heavens,"


"You're really a good person, aren't you? So, there's no path for you to take here. Go home. This isn't a place for someone like you."

If countries had flags like that, I suspect we'd have a lot less assholes in the world.

What's that logo from? I've seen it before but never in any context where I can figure out what it's from.

Have you tried the internet? It's made out of millions of people missing the point of everything and then getting angry about it

So. What, replace the stars with the Death Star or something? Or maybe the moon being nuked. That'd do it.

Something weird is going on.  First Doctor Who moved to Cardiff, and now this.  Our limey bretheren need to prepare for battle.

A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation.
