No more Britannia! What are they going to replace it with? How about a gallic rooster, maybe a pic of Angela Merkel stomping a poppy on the front Might as well sign up with the Euro.

I know it's a little off topic, (but considering the poppy is a symbol for those who gave everything for British freedom and independence not too much) but what is the problem with putting it to a vote, a referendum, ... "it" being the whole EU thing. I sense there is enough support for this, so, which party will grow a pair and make it an election issue?
