Good/Bad thing - Union Jack Redesign...

Click Here for BBC New Story

Quote:

It's become the marketing executive's remedy for any organisation's ills. From BT to BP, the Labour Party to the Lottery, hardly a business or institution has escaped the rebranding bug.

Now moves are afoot to redesign that most sacred of British hallmarks - the union flag.

A campaign is being launched to modernise the red, white and blue flag by adding a touch of black to reflect multicultural Britain in the 21st Century.

Flag has been a symbol of our Nation for hundreds of years.... Why change it now, will it make much odds?

Opinions?

My Opinion is that its Fucking appaling..... Over hundreds of years we have fought under this flag, for our independance, rights etc etc etc... Many thousands have died in numerous wars for our flag and country and to change it now is just disrespectful

lol neither am I, but I am today!

Phil, why would that incite rascism, not getting at you but i'm sure the governement are the last people who want to encourage that!

I just don't think it should be changed at all, not got anything to do with different races of people etc.

Totally out of order, everyone else celebrates, St Patricks day, St David's day, huge celebrations, a day to be proud of your country. Why the fcuk can we not be proud to be English and celebrate St Georges day.

I believe a few people have been told to remove Union Flags from otuside their houses, due to them being percieved by do-gooders as racist.

I mean, it really is a sh*t state of affairs, Dept stores are starting to cancel Xmas decorations, office xmas parties are being disbanded, just because not everyone celebrates christmas.

Totally out of order
