Post-referendum flags

[OwlHoot]

Seriously, if the Scots do vote for independence and national flags are to be changed, I'd say their flag should be a union jack with a thistle in the middle, and the British flag a union jack with a lion or the usual three lions passant guardant in the middle (and the Welsh could have yet another union jack, with a leek in the middle ).

You'll have to put in a blend of eastern European flags to acknowledge that England/Wales will be 50% populated by people there by the time Scotland becomes a tax free utopia.

Or maybe:

In 2011, the total usual resident population of Scotland stood at an estimated 5,295,403 residents, 7% of whom (369,284 residents) were born outside of the UK.

The Edinburgh council area had the highest number (75,698) of non-UK born residents in the region, while Aberdeen council area had highest population share (16%) in the region.

Between 2001 and 2011, the largest numerical increase in the non-UK born population took place in Glasgow City (39,917 additional residents), but the highest percentage increase occurred in Aberdeen City (167.2% increase).

Residents born in Poland represent the most numerous non-UK born group in Scotland (55,231), followed by residents born in India (23,489) and Ireland (22,952).

Nearly two thirds (63%) of non-UK born persons resident in Scotland in 2011 arrived in the country since 2001.

In 2011, Scotland had a smaller non-UK born share within its local population (7%) than England & Wales (13%). However, the non-UK born population increased at a higher rate in Scotland (by 93%) than in England and Wales (by 62%) between 2001 and 2011.

BBC News - What would the union jack look like if the Scottish bit was removed?

A bunch of primary children could come up with something better than these apparently serious ideas from experts... WTF were they thinking?!

Keep the blue to represent the permanent tory majority that will result in England.

Oh you lucky bas%ards

[Benny]

Is the first one an attempt to counter the "'aint no black in the Union Jack" tribe?

[MyUserName]

Keep it the same, invade Scotland and turn it into a large prison. Drop all the violent offenders in there, quality of life would improve for everyone apart from the offenders - result!

[Mich the Tester]

Just keep it the same; it'll save money when Scotland goes bust (again) and has to join again.
