Coming soon to a roundabout near you... a new UK flag
Blackpool Gazette
|September 09, 2025
Is it time the nation had a new flag? Given the events of the last few weeks, I reckon the majority of the country is pig sick of the current one... everyone bar the makers of red paint, that is.
Farrow and Ball must have loved that. You can just see the panic at the paintmaker’s HQ. ‘Crikey, we’ve got a spike in Rectory Red in the Midlands. Jason, cancel all leave for the pigment mix squad, we’ve got a run on Charlotte's Locks in Bedfordshire that we'll struggle to meet. Just gotta hope the Incarnadine crimson holds up in Burnley!’
