I like the picture
"Boy with Down syndrome assembling a bookcase"

Moments after that picture, the boy was spinning round and round like Gromit in "A Grand Day Out"

I just read that about a mintue before it was posted
And that was my first thought.

Maybe they'll use the flag but make the dragon wear cheap tacky united flag boxers!

Wales is like Britain's demented half-brother.
He's still family but they'd prefer to keep him hidden away during public events.

What a load of bollocks.
If we were to change the union flag to accurately represent Wales as well, we'd have to put a man shagging a sheep very small in the bottom corner, with the rest of the flag filled with people pointing and laughing at them.

they harp on about it all the time - but most say they are welsh rather than british - so theres no point

STICK IT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE.
Over the rest of the flag.

It's only a fucking flag, for fucking fuck's fucking sake.

Yeah, but I reckon it's busy enough visually already.
And it'll only start the Cornish whining.

I got the quote mixed up. Mine should have been "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent", which was inspired by your quote.

The diagonal white bits are the Scottish cross.

The whole thing is the Scotland flag with the red bits from the English and Irish flags on top.
And a bit of a white border for the English bit.

I like the idea that because it is not symetrical
Flying it upside down would by un-noticable to enemies yet would send a distress signal secretly to possible reinforcements.

couldnt find the example i was tought but its breifly mentioned here

Right, hence the white borders around the red cross.

Maybe not the dragon, but maybe the green part of the background could go behind the white cross of union jack,
Or would that just clash?

And nobody knows what the bollocks it represents. At least a dragon will make us vaguely hip with our new yellow overlords.
