British nationalism's big problem

The idea of a people in a land and repatriating latecomers is so inconsistent. By rights most British people should not be here: we are the result of migration and interbreeding. It seems to me that the BNP's kneejerk politics is vulnerable to Welsh calls to repatriate the English ... and they in turn to anyone who could proove by genetic means that they are descended from the pre-Celtic peoples who settled Albion.

So in honour of this let's redesign the Union flag.

With recognition given, at last, to the Welsh nation with the green field. It's scandalous that for so long the Celtic component of the union has been underrepresented.
