Well how about
United Kingdom of England and 6 counties of the defucnt Irish province of Ulster? Nah!
Lesser Britain is Brittany. That’s how the island got to be Great Britain in the first place.

Well, I like it, but I imagine the Welsh will be pissed (though they don’t seem to worry too much about not being represented on the Union Jack.)
They are represented on the Union Jack; the are a part of England.

The Kingdom of Adequate Britain.
Rule Britanninia!
I can’t see the referendum going in favour of independence, unless something goes spectacularly wrong. People voted for the SNP generally for reasons apart from their independence stance. Support for independence tends to have at about 20-25%.
Oh, we Ameerican can help you with that! From time to time, big American companies decide to reorganize to improve their profitability. They do this by forming new companies. One gets all the choice assets, while the other gets lesser assets and liabilities.
Under this system, if the UK breaks up, the Royal Army, for example, could be divided so each of the four nations – umm, states – oh, let’s just say autonomous governing bodies, get their share of soldiers and the military bases that are in their respective territories. But (and here’s the beauty of American capitalism) all the responsibility for pensions and health care for retired military could be assigned to just one of the new autonomous governing bodies. The same can be done with education, health care, welfare (I believe you call it the Dole) and all those other “legacy costs” that limit economic growth. That way, most of you can get off to a fresh start, while a small minority ends up with debt-ridden government doomed to fail from the start.
All you have to do is pick out who has the least ability to object and drop everything on them.
Of course they are: Welsh Union Jack.
Nobody thinks this is the official flag of the UK, but you have to admit it is cooler.
Hold tight Northern Ireland.
I tried to draw a dragon with the Union Jack on the inside of its wings when I was a kid, but it turned out I couldn’t draw.
Oh SHIT, what are we gonna do about the Union Jack without the St Andrews cross? I LOVE that flag :sulks:
Invent some new meaning for it. Or just keep it and tell them to go cry about it.
You’re really not all that bright are you?
I’m sorry, I want to say that every single time I read a post by you and I couldn’t resist this time.
Want.
I love Wales, but that is irrelevant: that flag is badass.
It’s a distinct improvement imho. I witnessed an almost fist fight last night in a local pub because some mod guy was wearing union jack-emblazoned apparel to which Shinner McShinner took umbrage. Started comparing it to wearing a swastika.
You’re citing a one-off from the 1950s and a South African radio special of which “no known recording exists” as priors? Well, ok, you win on a technicality. how about we say Connery was the “first one who actually mattered”?
Did he also think Christmas was offensive to people of other religions. Please…
Yeah, a 'RA-supporting friend of mine used to call it “the butcher’s apron”.
“Britain” is often used as a synonym for the United Kingdom [of Great Britain and Northern Ireland]. In casual usage, “Britain” and “Great Britain” are often two different things—the former being the United Kingdom and the latter meaning the geographical island.
