the union jack and Scotland

[martint235]

The only one that matters...

I've not seen one outside before. I thought they were always kept in the bathroom next to the toilet.

Wash your mouth out lad. There's blood on the Lancashire rose.

Yep most of it from Yorkshiremen or as we choose to call them: Losers!!

That flag above looks kind of foolish!

Anyway the war of the Roses was not a county war, it was a war of toffs. One of the main Lanc houses was in Pontefract, says it all really about them lancastrians

Thats fighting talk from where I am from

It's called pi$$-taking in the south.

Strangely it's mainly Yorkshire people (see definition above) who say that.

have St George's cross, but with lower half with green background (for Wales) and slap the Welsh dragon thingy on top of it.
Anyone fancy rustling up a demo?

That dragon looks a little camp to me: "Rwoar! I'm going to get you! Scratchy scratchy!"

From the BBC:

On BBC's Question Time programme earlier this month, the SNP's Alex Neil said the Queen was monarch in 16 countries and she would remain head of state in Scotland. Therefore he said, the union of the Crowns would remain and, thus, the Union Flag.
​

A flag without the Scottish element would look like this:

The Queen is head of state all over the place but we do not put their flag on the union flag. The union flag should represent the elements of the union. I rather like the red and white version.
I am sure it is confusing to the world the way we are GB at the Olympics but separate teams for most other things. It is only in fairly recent times we sorted it out ourselves and started using the Cross of St George for England
Back in 1966...

Excellent work!

Calling @ohnovino ... find out where she is king of () and put all those flags together!

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Wales is a principality, which is why its not represented on the current Union Flag.

That's a TMN to someone.

I'd prefer white ground red cross of St George. Top left quarter welsh dragon, bottom right corner red hand of ulster. Sorted.

Keeping the St Patricks Cross when only a small part of the island of Ireland is part of new UK ?the NU-K? is a bit presumptious.

and what will we call it, the United Kingdom of Britain and Northern Ireland?The United Kingdom of England, Wales and Northern Ireland?

Also if the perfidious ones go independent like they could opt to keep the constitutional monarchy and Betty could still be Queen in theory yes?

 

[Dayvo]

How about The Great Kingdom of ENGLAND plus Wales and Northern Ireland, and a few small islands scattered around the coast.

Sorted.

 

[Archie_tect]

That'll do us...

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Sounds logical...it would certainly make the flag more elegant and less 'busy'

Am I the only one who actually hates the Union Flag? I mean look at it, its a mess!
You see most other flags of the world and they are nice and clean looking..... and then you get to ours and it looks like a small explosion in a paint factory!
