Of course, the colours of the flag would have to change, to a diagonal yellow cross on a blue background, which is the other reason for the change - that the St George's (crusader) cross is offensive to muslims. Well, it may well be offensive to a few, but it didn't appear to offend all the muslim men & women I saw driving round the last few weeks with the flag flying from their motors.

No wonder the C of E is in the state that it is in. Would you turn up for a church service held by one of the patronising clowns proposing this nonsense? But don't laugh...twenty years ago we laughed at the idea of female vicars...and look where we are now.

Utter bollocks, although I have little doubt that the day will come when the Flag of Union will be replaced by that bloody rainbow effort so beloved of the floral types. If the indigenous ethnic peoples of this land don’t get there act together we’ll all be ****ed. You don’t hear the Scots or the Taff’s capitulating to the demands of idiots.
