  • Is it me or does this lion really look gobsmacked?  And another question, is Johnnie Foreigner Indian or African? image

  • Well, he ain't European!

  • Nor British, either.  The cheek of it, foreigners coming over here and taking our LOGOS!

  • Send'em home!

  • Yea, but self-respecting British animals wouldn't do this job, so ukip has no....choice!

  • African or Asian, Mr Lion is an old emblem of Britain, pure or not!

  • Yes, an emblem all right, brought here by the French Plantagenets.  Very British!

  • There's something apt about this.  Isn't Farage from France, originally?  Or am I thinking of his "friend"?  I'm pretty sure, though, his wife is German.

    Perhaps there are some jobs British women are not prepared to do??

    How right you are, Danae!  As I wasn't entirely certain whether what you said, in relation to the origin of the emblematic use of the lion in Britain, was not tongue-in-cheek, I did some research online and, just like the lion of the ukipers, I was quite gobsmacked! 

    In fact, the flag of England too came from Anjou!

    I then stopped my research, just in case I came across yet another "shocking revelation!"  imageimageimage

  • Yes, but look how we've embellished it!
