Not just a problem for us, Australia and NZ will have to think about what to do as well, plus a whole gang of more minor places that incorporate the union jack in their flags.

If Scotland does go then my preferred solution is just to use England's flag.

Actually I think it would lead to NZ, Australia, etc... being less likely to change if we did.
Would really add to the argument that it is there for cultural/historical reasons and doesn't at all show subserviance to modern Britain.

Some of those designed are ripped off from me. <_<

Australia and New Zealand already have alternatives waiting. There is some politics involved in making the Eureka Flag of Australia palatable for everybody since it is pretty divisive, but New Zealand has it's stars and fern design waiting for a colour scheme (red and black are the maori colours, blue and green for land and sea, I like white and black).

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Yeah, I think you may well be right.

The colours of the Third Reich as in the first example would seem appropriate to increasingly fascist England

Agreed, it will be helpful to have a good demonstration outside of Canada of just how bad it can get.
