This is a link post Some welsh MP wants to put the welsh Dragon on the Union Jack
Am I the only one who thinks that would be really fucking cool?

This is a normal post I see his point
but personally I think the union jack is pretty much a symbol for fucking cool around the world as it is.

This is a normal post Bollocks
Both the Admiralty and Parliament have sanctioned the use of Union Jack to mean any Union flag.

This is a normal post It always amazes me that people don't know the name of their countries flag!
The is the Union Flag, it is only the Union Jack if it's flown from a ship:D

This is a normal post It always amazes me when people try to be smart arses through pedantry
and fail horribly. It is a disputed case and either can be used officially. Don't give me the old 'it's only a jack on a ship' line, as this is at best an educated guess. The origins of the term are not documented.

Also, if you want pedantry, it's 'country's' not 'countries'. Amazing how some people can't even write in their own language.

This is a normal post Where's my icon?
Wherever I fucking like, dickhead. I've contributeded money towards this site, now whether or not I choose to also do so through the form of voluntary donation...ahem...voluntary. donation., is my business and my businsess alone. You're like those numbnuts who suggest total lfreedom of speech "except in some cases". Well, I'm afraid it's all or nothing. Either this is a pay-site - in which case feel free to lambast me over not having an icon - or it is free, with the option to donate - in which case fuck off.

Also, allow me to quote from the Flag Institute:
"It is often stated that the Union Flag should only be described as the Union Jack when flown in the bows of a warship, but this is a relatively recent idea. From early in its life the Admiralty itself frequently referred to the flag as the Union Jack, whatever its use, and in 1902 an Admiralty Circular announced that Their Lordships had decided that either name could be used officially. Such use was given Parliamentary approval in 1908 when it was stated that "the Union Jack should be regarded as the National flag". Put that up your yacht club and capslock it.

This is a normal post I think every flag on the planet should be jazzed up a bit.
It would make politics more interesting if they all had awesome logos.
