    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

      This is a disgraceful idea!!

      Labour are now trying to take the piss out of English people, this would be the Final Insult, and what appauls me more is that somebody from my very hometown, Rotherham, has supported this outragous move. Not meaning to put down Rotherham, the Home of English football, but it seems the people there have now lost thier common sense. I think it must be the smoke from the factories that has done this.

      Hopefully I'll out of this country by 2006 though

        Pfff, just a piece of cotton to me.., no reason to get all worked up about IMO.

          Calm down, it's obviously not going to happen. It's clearly a stupid idea, you don't have to get all worked up about it.

          Also, it's got nothing whatsoever to do with the Labour party. Find another thread for you trolling on that issue. Did you even read the linked article?

            I dread to think what'll happen when the Daily Mail (The Last Great Bastion Of Englishness™) gets wind of this.

                I really don't see the use.
                The Union Jack has never had anything to do with race, and I think it would be a considerable step backwards to begin so

                The Union Jack is good as it is. It should change only when Scotland or Norther Ireland will become independant from England, not before.

                  I can see one big problem with this.

                  If the Union Jack gets changed, won't the other flags that incorporate it also have to be changed?

                  I can see Australians being furious about putting any black on their flag.

                  I think it's not a bad idea changing the Union Jack - but I also think this design could be improved on (where's the yellow and brown then?).

                      The Union Jack is a pile of crap anyway. Think about it. It's a vaguely lop-sided geometrical design intended to represent a crock of foreign saints (one of whom was entirely fictitious) and to commemorate an act of English political imperialism under a bunch of usurpers and Germans.

                      It says nothing to me about England, the English people or anyone else on this island. If they want to sum up our history they should use a picture of an English arrow sticking in a Frenchman's head.

                        You're probably right - it's nothing that I or anyone else should get really worked up about.

                        Nevertheless, it's a daft move.

                        Laz, I think it's very smart flag, I consider myself more 'English' than British, but i use the Union Jack on here because i prefer it's vibrant design as opposed to St George's cross.

                            That can be the French flag.
