Also the current British government has played a large part in changing my views. Scottish and Welsh parliaments...that's fine. What about England? No English parliament? This is not an oversight - it's a conspiracy. "Crazy Frog" Prescott's lunatic plans to carve up England too - thankfully the good old Geordies gave him a poke in the bulgey eye on that one. But don't be surprised if they try to find another way.

And the at the end of the day (and at the beginning) I'm English first, and proud of it. Ask any Scot or Welsh person...90% of them would call themselves Scottish or Welsh first and British second. The Englsh should get real, get up to date and start doing the same thing.

So whilst I still have enormous respect for the Union Flag, I'd only swear to the heart of it. Bring on the revolution, bring on the velvet divorce.

IMO ;)
