Is it time to REDESIGN the UNION FLAG?

[Tesco in Disguise]

Last week Ian Lucas, the MP for Wrexham, raised an old but sore issue in the Commons: that the UK has never let Wales nail its colours to the mast. The union flag is made up of the heraldic crosses of England, Scotland and Ireland - only three of the four nations. Surely it's time Wales got a look-in? On Tuesday the story gained momentum with the news that the culture minister, Margaret Hodge, was "considering" a redesign of the flag.

Though a flood of heraldic experts and Daily Telegraph readers have pointed out that Wales was conquered. "Constitutionally it's a principality of the kingdom of England," says Peter Gwynne-Jones of the Royal College of Arms. Which means Wales is represented by the Cross of St George

some offers:

They should redesign it so it looks something like this:

Unless its this

We are all going to be called racists

 

[Trufflehound]

a bloke?

 

[Everest]

Def NOT the second one. It makes it look as though we've joined forces with the Germans.

On second thoughts, maybe that's the only way we'll ever win anything.

 

[gjh1971]

What about this design?

 

[Gully]

No, we might end up with something like Newfoundland:

Which now I think about it, if you replaced the yellow with green it would represent the UK pretty well...

 

[Dave the OAP]

No......

 

[BensGrandad]

No. Why pamper to Jocks and Taffys who dont want to be part of Britain anyway.

 

[SNOOBS]

How about this?

[beorhthelm]

f*** off no.

This one is quite nice. Notice that the Flag of David is given slight precedence over the Flags of Patrick and Andrew and the Flag of George is still given centre stage. Having the Welsh dragon over the front would be wrong.

Erm...the Saltire is part of the Union Flag (that might just be why it's called that).
