That's horrible. Leave that flag alone, for jeebus's sake!

Somewhere up in heaven, Winston Churchill just cursed a blue streak.

its everywhere!!! http://www.collegehumor.com/go?textfile=70 < thats comedy though. And as for the flag. It is kinda NAzi'ish looking

I don't think it's the WORST idea, or the concept behind it anyways..

The fact of the matter is, it would probably worsen situations rather then improve them (if there is a bad situation regarding the flag to begin with?). For one, the black minority is not the only one. As was stated before, why don't Asians ask for yellow or Indians for brown? Also, it seems like a slap in the face to many which reside within the UK. Many, MANY men have died fighting for that flag in a multitude of ways, and to change its design cannot improve its patriotic roots without hurting them.

Every flag should be all black with rainbow lettering of the Country's name.

lets not worry too much about it. I heard parliament always suggest crazy new ideas like changing airplane seat sizes. oOo:

Millions of men died under the Union Jack and some moron proposes to change the flag? Why do people worry about such dumb stuff?

so they are saying that white in teh flag represents white people so they need black in it for black people.

the big question is where has anyone ever seen blue people (other than people who drowned)

That "new" flag just doesn't feel right. It looks.....umm...weird.

*Mr Turner, who has called his campaign Reflag, believes his plan would reclaim the union jack from its negative associations,
and silence that old skinhead chant: "There ain't no black in the union jack."
"If I flew the union jack from a flagpole in my garden, many people would see it as a racist statement," he says.

...there may well be many good reasons to tamper with historical icons such as the Union Jack,
but merely to negate some half-arsed racist chant would surely not be one of them...
...never, in the field of Social Engineering...were so many...needlessly pissed off...by so few... eek:
...haha! yes...it would represent that kind of thinking perfectly!

Britain's national flag - the union jack - has been given the makeover treatment, in the hope of reflecting a more modern society.

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.

The proposed new flag (see above) is the work of Nigel Turner, an enthusiastic fan of the UK's transformation into a multiracial society over the past 50 years.

I'm not a racist but this is ridiculous, when immigration starts to change your society so that people build temples and stuff I can handle that, but changing the flag, WTF!!!???[/quote:ef34a]

WHAT THE FUCK!!! Change the union jack!!! The union jack has been around for thousands of years and no one had a problem with it! Now this fucktard wants to change it!?! Then why not change the Canadian flag, or the American flag, or hell, the United Nations flag, they don't have any black in them either!!! To change the union jack would be to deface and insult everything it stands for as well as all the history behind it!!!

i think the brittish flag is very pretty, i see people wearing it on thier clothes and underwear oOo: around here.

damn, Austin Powers is gonna get pissed when he has to get a new roof for his Mini cooper...

Shouldnt someone point out to Mr Nigel Turner that the Union Jacks colours represents the countries of Great Britian, and not in anyway the race of its people. And to add black on the basis of the colour of race would in itself be racist.

I thought the union jack appeared 400 years ago?

souns like someones trying to fuck with history... changing the flag... greedily wanting to alter the flag to be able to say" duh haha I put tha black on thar, duurp!"

leave it the hell alone fire1:
