It is more than silly; it is based upon crackpot idealism combined with total ignorance of history; and history tells us that such a recipe leads ony to disaster.

The evidence is that St Alban probably existed, sometime in 4th century AD and was therefore a citizen of Roman Britannica, thus probably a Celt; the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of Northumbria, Mercia & Wessex were not to emerge for a couple of hundred years and from them the nation of England only under Alfred in the 9th Century.

In fact, the first guy to make a stab at uniting the disparate kingdoms in the 7th century AD was our dear old Oswald of Northumbria. I do not have a clue what his colours were, but his first camp on his quest south into Mercia was Church .A few months later he was chopped to bits. Literally. Maybe if we are to have a new English saint, why not him; and if a new flag why not one with a white background with a piccy of Church Kirk tower?
