Should we have a British motto, similar to France's "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," the US's "In God We Trust" and Belgium's [now ironic] "Strength through Unity". Gordon Brown thinks we should.
I think it's a stupid idea. We don't need an "official" motto any more than we need a written Constitution.
Though, if we are to have one, lets think of some ideas:
"God Save The Queen" - nah, we'd never be allowed to have that.
"Always Open" - well, our borders are remarkably porous for an island...
"Freedom - But Only If You're Part Of A Minority" - too realistic, I suppose.
"Europe Rules UK OK" - again, too realistic...
Any other suggestions?
