Let's put it this way.

UK changes the flag and we (plus many other Commonwealth nations) change our flag to not have the jack in it anymore.

I don't want that to happen.

This topic is on the radio as I type this post out and it's a HOT topic.


The Brits are ringing in to the show saying no, one went as far to say it's time to wage war on the Welsh. :huh:

Yes! Lets rise up and fight the Welsh!

Lets march over the border with our Army...well they are all busy so maybe our Territorial Army...oh yeah they are all busy as well, well our Marines and Paras....oh they are busy too...

Nevermind, lets just leave it.

Cut out the red dragon and stick it in the middle of the red cross.....:rock:

Wales can't appear appear on the flag because

a. Technically its part of England and has been sice the 13th Century. Therefore it is represented by the cross of St George as the national flag of England.

b. Its a principality and not a kingdom. The Union Flag only shows the kingdoms that make up the United Kingdom of England, Ireland an Scotland.

:know:

"Technically" Scotland and Northern Ireland are not part of England. :know:


Britain perhaps, England; no!

Ummm yes true Letum - they are not part of England so appear on the flag
What MrB is saying is Wales IS technically part of ENGLAND so is therefore already represented on the Union flag by the cross of St George

At least one of the British possessions got their flag right :lol:
