If we were to modernise England's flag, what would a referendum result in?

Wash your mouth out Sombrero!
Good point.
Nations do change due to various influences. Britain has had its ups and downs over the centuries, gradually becoming more powerful and influential since Elizabethan times until what must be our peak in Victorian days when we effectively ruled a quarter of the world. Then there was a steady decline in our fortunes since the Second World War years due to the cost of that war, although we remained one of the richest countries in the world.
I sometimes find it difficult to comprehend, though, just how much this country has changed - through its own efforts alone, it has to be said - during my lifetime. Yes, there have been technological advances and improvements in our standard of living, but on the other hand we seem to have lost much: our self-pride, our moral standards, our independence, our traditional way of life and even our sovereignty.
Yes, as you say, I'm sure our forefathers who fought for the freedom of this country must be rolling in their graves.

Keep it as it is, I am proud to be British. (you can change the national anthem though, that is awful)

Something to represent the direction this country is heading in - all white with a big, brown skid-mark down the middle.
Unfortunately, I reckon Joe is closest with the crescent moon.

The title says "British Flag"
The text says "English Flag"
Once you've worked out where or which you are referring to re-ask the question.

I think Sombrero likes to confuse. He quotes his location as Avon, which hasn't existed as a county for a few years now. If, however, you actually live in the river of that name, you are excused.
Big white flag with the bold words of EDL
Only joking before the mods get upset and delete this thread
