Britain's national flag - the union jack - has been given the makeover treatment, in the hope of reflecting a more modern society.
It's become the marketing executive's remedy for any organisation's ills. From BT to BP, the Labour Party to the Lottery, hardly a business or institution has escaped the rebranding bug.
Now moves are afoot to redesign that most sacred of British hallmarks - the union flag.
A campaign is being launched to modernise the red, white and blue flag by adding a touch of black to reflect multicultural Britain in the 21st Century.

Your flag would be far cooler if it had a dragon superimposed.

It looks good, but they shouldn't change it, there's way to much history behind it, it should never change.

It is complete bullshit. This is another case of western cultures being under attack. Where do these immigrants get off moving to Engand and wanting the English to deny their heritage and culture in order to accomodate them. Political correctness is out of control. Tell these idiots to go back to whereever they came from if they don't like the English flag.

You dick - that isn't the English flag

don't change the flag man ....that's so rediculous!
i mean the only time something should be added to federal flag is when you have a variable like that in the first place, like stars representing states and stuff.
history shouldn't be made over to make someone happy, keep your flag the way it is!

At the end of the day...
A union jack is a union jack ..it'll still be hated by half the world no matter how much black is in it lol

Word, the Union Jack represents so much, too change it would be disrespectful too all the British people throughout history that have died too protect it.

Black on the Union Jack? What the fuck for? It's a fuckin flag, leave it the way it is. There is no reason to change the flag. It doesn't represent the ethnicities living in the country, it represents the nations included. So why the fuck add black? They might as well go and add brown and yellow, to include the hindus and asians. ::)
