I think we have more than Australia. The Orange & Green in N Ireland, Reds & Blues & Yellows in England Reds & Greens in Wales and different shades of Blue in Scotland. So mix that lot up and you could do away with the Union flag and have a new UK national Flag. I am sure there is a Rainbow flag in there somewhere. It was not that long ago that the Rainbow flag was given precedence over the Red Duster on Merchant Navy memorial day by a load of Southern poofters.

Re: TV Movie Channel
The Union flag combines aspects of three older national flags: the red cross of St George of the Kingdom of England, the white saltire of St Andrew for Scotland (which two were united in the first Union Flag), and the red saltire of St Patrick to represent Ireland.
Hence no Black in the union Jack. Yet !

Re: TV Movie Channel
For those of you that used to do the football coupon or the pools as it was called your coupon would've ended up here in Liverpool if you did Littlewoods,Vernons pools was also in Liverpool.Many films and TV series are made here in Liverpool,what they need are studios so the Littlewoods Art-Deco building will be used for just that.
