i get it, the saint george's cross, and the cross of st. andrew, where did the extra red overlaying the st. andrew's cross? oh... right... northern ireland... but to add to manic street preachers' song's lyrics ifwhiteamericatoldthetruthforonedayit'sworldwouldfallapart well... there ain't no black in the union jack, there ain't enough white, in the stars and stripes... i say: why is the st. andrew's flag incorporation missing from ol' Jackie? the thistle shunned fluorescent, or rather tamed, shade of purple? and why more blue? oh i'm pro nationalistic for the Picts, the Cymru and the Irish... bring back the Union Jack with a bit more hushed, tamed, purple... what's with the blue? the **** is blue on these isles... apart from the odd scarcity of the open skies? not much... well... perhaps the odd curry cooked by some Blue Indians.
