Project re-brand 09:26 - Jun 29 with 4138 views | Mytch_QPR | With the fallout of the referendum and the usual dismal display by England's footballers, the general mood has been - understandably - rather gloomy this week. Taking a leaf from our own glorious club with their new badge and kit launch, I think it may be time that England had a re-branding exercise to cement our place in the brave post-EU world. This need not be restricted to a new name, but a whole new ethos / culture. We also desperately need a new flag - I'm not being flippant but a red cross on a white background is, frankly, bland at best. Look at Wales - they have a mythical creature. It depicts strength and it's interesting to look at. Brazil has a picture on its flag as well - I think it's a bowling ball or something, but you see what I'm getting at. When you see those white vans flying the red cross flags it reminds you of UN ambulances at a war scene - white stands for surrender and a red cross is a sign of illness / peril. It's not right and it's time to embrace change. Any suggestions are welcome, but turning to a new name I'm thinking of the following as initial working titles: Aquafresh / Poundland / Galabingo (dynamic) Peoples Republic Of Nigel South Scotchland Drabb / Dripp / Twott / Flopp (easy to spell / text) Xenophobia / Whitevanland / Kyle / Lager (cultural) Greyland (similar to Greenland so could cause some confusion) Bumcivilian We also need that new flag - and possibly a motto or slogan. A new national anthem wouldn't go amiss. It's going to be a brave new world after Brexit. Don't just embrace change - take it home, handcuff it to the bed and smother it with peanut butter. I'd like some contributions. All can be sent to my underground command bunker on the outskirts of Basingstoke (look out for the abandoned shopping trolley just after the Burger King Drive-Thru) | |

A nice emblem for the footy team too and certainly would work for the fans. Let's get confused.com on it for the marketing. How about Frank Spencer for PM ( and he could sing the national anthem . I suggest "Sorry seems to be the hardest word") After all at least half of the voters hadn't a clue what they were doing thanks to our inept and dishonest leaders. | | | |

" I would always advocate the general ignoring of nearly all politicians if you really want to learn about or understand a subject. I'd certainly agree about the population not knowing what they were voting for. In fact I'd go to say that they didn't/don't have a f**king clue, but no matter it's never too late to educate yourself and expand on your theories and view points. http://corporateeurope.org/about-ceo As for what we do now, here is a small start we can all get involved with https://www.change.org/p/restore-truthful-politics-create-an-independent-office- Let's not give up on positive outcomes.

I think this could be the basis of the new national flag - it reflects our place in the world and also embraces a sense of fun: | |
