I'd thought that'd be a joke, with a picture of the USA flag with an extra star on it. Which wouldn't surprise me.
Think about it - becoming a state of the USA would probably cause less problems than the whole Euro thing (although we'd have to ge out of the EU, which probably wouldn't be so easy). The UK's got more in common with the US than Europe anywho.
And I wanna pay for stuff with bucks.
"That's 10 bucks, please."
Mmmm.

Why don't you go live under a despotic government in a third world nation?
Quit complaining damn you.
This kind of attitude represents everything that is wrong with this nation. Apathy, indifferance and defeatism. High taxes? How the hell do you think the government is supposed to pay for running the country. Our justice system is in need of reform but at least you don't get beaten up by mobs for not supporting a dictator. I mean Christ! What a poor attitude, if these ideas represent the next ruling generations ideals as a whole then we don't even need a Union Flag since the nation may as well be dead.
Sorry but writing this bulls crap from behind your PC does not impress.
Why don't you run for government and stop complaining about our country.
There are of course problems but if you compare the general living standard in this nation compared to 100 years ago or many other nations today maybe you wouldn't complain so much.

Underfunded military?
Also, most interesting fact of the day goes to Blokey. I never knew that.

Gotta call you on that one. the "Union Jack" is only the name when it's on boats, it's actually just the Union Flag.
Hate it when people do that.

The proposed new flag is silly. It isn't supposed to represent skin colour, but a culmination of the flags of the UK. Which is why we have the red lines of England, Blue of Scotland etc. Which UK country has a black flag?

I don't care what it stands for. I'd be interested how you got 'freedom from oppression', 'justice' and 'equality' from some red lines on a blue background.
My point is, the new flag is much the same, but with a bit of different colour. Who cares?
