Mr Turner has contacted MPs about his new design and has already received the backing of Lord Ahmed of Rotherham, who called it a "fantastic idea [for] celebrating diversity of the modern United Kingdom".
He is actually trying to have it changed, once again political correctness is going to tear away our herritage. There is no way in hell they are going to change it:eek2: :rw:
that looks like crap..
how bout having mr flibble in the middle ? that would look kewl IMO...
Dumb! Me thinks it's time to strap that crossbow to yur back and take care of business. :mad:

I rather like the way it looks, a bit more contemporary but I have to agree with whoever said this;
"The United Kingdom is not a firm which changes its corporate branding each time the management alters. The flag is an enduring symbol of unity which transcends politics and absorbs cultural change."
The new flag is pretty, but even still, don't change a thing.

WTF? :confused:
Why not just scrap all the colours of the flags of the countries its supposed to represent and make it pink, white, cream, dark cream, brown, dark brown, and black then?
As for that old skinhead chant, that's exactly what it is - old. I think he's still living in the 70's.

This kind of thing used to cause civil wars of nasty proportions. I think the first person to carry the new flag should be gunned down in public. I can't believe they'd even consider changing the flag, meh, I think it's time to leave the country.

The sad thing is the guy is doing this all because of race. God damn PC:mad:
Heh. That reminds me of the battle that's been brewing in Georgia (USA) for the past couple of years.
First there was the old flag, the actual flag of the Confederacy with the Georgia State Seal. Not a bad flag, all in all.
Then a bunch of racists (who were Democrats, I might add) decided in '56 to include the Confederate battle flag. Offensive to everybody except the racists.
King Roy (former Governer Barnes) introduced a new flag, which introduced a whole new class of characters: flaggots (thanks to Neal Boortz for the brilliant name). The flag was bland, inoffensive, and just plain ugly. The flaggots were offensive and ugly.
And now King Sonny (current Governor Perdue) has changed the flag yet again. And the flaggots are still up in arms, while the rest of us get annoyed at all the time and money wasted on something so stupid.
On the bright side, that should provide you with much fodder for humor and sarcasm over the coming months....
Cheers,
JND

just bend the ends of that cross in the middle of the new flag and you got yourself a swastika. That black crap doesn't look good on red accented with a white border. Keep it the way it is right now, kill anyone who tries to take your heritage.KILL! KILL! KILL!!!:firedevil

it pisses me off. crappy PC
i like our current design a lot. its nice and pretty too. its never has represented race anyway. you dont see blue and red people walking about anyway. Adding black and saying its PC is ridiculous as most ethnic races arent black anyway so the guy should add shades of brown too if its to represent other races.
off with his head :mad:
Pollitical Correctness is BS
i do like this flag tho :D =

The backing of ****ing LORD AHMED??
Just how damn British is he? What a crock of ****.
A multicultural Britian? I'm not being racist here but whites developed Britian, whites fought for Britain, and whites fought to protect Britain for over 1000 years.
The world is getting retarded.

He is a British citizen, so he is very British.

FYI nvidiot being a lord does not require historical ties, it is a staus you attain through owning land and having a polotical background thus leading you to the house of lords
Has the sympathitic/multicultural idiot who proposed the change of the union jack taken into consideration the number of other flags which have the God forsaken union jack embedded in them.
Does he expect all these other flags to have a face lift too?

I'm saying it's like us trying to throw some symbol of white onto an African/Eastern nations flag just because some of us may live there.
Proposing the change of the Union Jack to support a multi cultural Britian is racist in itself.
