This is just a perfect example of where sour grapes and ethnic hatred completely trump common sense.
So the big question is will Great Britain take the Scottish part of the Union Jack out? That would be the white diaganoal St. Andrews cross and the Blue Background. That would just leave a red diagonal cross (the symbol of Northern Ireland) and the English cross of St. George, leaving two red crosses on a white background. If northern Ireland drops out to reunite with Ireland, that will just leave them with the English fllag. And with only Wales left will they still call themselves the United Kingdom (kind of like Yugoslavia when it was just Serbia and Montenegro) but still use the English flag? Or will they incorporate the Welsh Griffen into the flag of the United Kingdom that is only Wales and England (to differentiate the United Kingdom flag from the English flag)? These are the important questions.
