    To the army, to every soldier in it. I have a bond of attachment quite independent of any political reasonings. I was a soldier at that time when the feelings are most ardent and when the strongest attachments are formed. ‘Once a soldier, always a soldier’ is a maxim, the truth of which I need not insist to anyone who has ever served in the army for any length of time.

    According to the British Olympic Association's official press release the kit design "focused on the British flag, breaking down the iconic design and reconstructing it, creating a modern and contemporary twist."

    It's all explained here.

    The Euro '96 England football kit was grey because grey goes well with jeans and the FA wanted maximum sales of replica shirts, it had nothing to do with 'lefty apologetics'.

    Care to explain the "sudden their is black in the union jack" comment? I'll ignore the racist overtures and litteracy levels of a Romanian pickpocket and take you to task on the fact that you claim to have served in the British Army but call the Union Flag the Union Jack.

    I think you're a dirty fibber.
