Gordon Brown makes sense!
Well, here's a turn-up for the books. Gordon Brown saying something I can agree with.
Britain should have a day to celebrate its national identity, Gordon Brown has proposed in a speech portraying Labour as a modern patriotic party.
The chancellor used his first major speech of 2006 to urge Labour supporters to "embrace the Union flag".
In an address to the Fabian Society, he said it is important the flag is recaptured from the far right.

He should, of course, have gone further and said that there should be more celebration of Englishness, but I guess that's pushing it for a Scottish politician. Still, it'll be interesting to see what (if anything) comes of this. I'm sure there will be some black and/or Asian fool claiming it's racist.
