As all Manic Street preachers fans know...
"We say, there aint enough black in the Union Jack..."
Rebranding puts black marks against UK flag.
Personally, I quite like it, though I do find the reasoning behind it slightly odd, as we then have a flag made up of the flags of the countries of England, Wales, Scotland and... Blackistan? But then if the artist had suggested that we, I don't know, attempt something radical like getting rid of the Union Jack and create a new flag to properly show the racial diversity of the British Isles Sir Norman Tebbit and Rebeckah Wade would be hanging him from Westminster Bridge as I write.
Also, check out reFLAG, the website behind this proposal.
