David Mitchell attempts to talk sense into Flanders.

Try running this idea by a crowd of Flanders flag waving Flemish at a Cyclocross race and see how long it takes for this to get rejected.

487 days without a government, and counting. You'd say that this is what scares investors. No?
No. They're right. change the flag and all will be well.

More importantly - it a country that has been without a functioning government for 16 month.
16 MONTHS!!!
maybe they should tell the government to go fuck themselves and take their silly ideas about flags with them.
P.S. I'm sure if it was a WHITE lion there would be none of this talk.
racists.

FFS - are you sure it wasn't the market volatility or interest rates?

I don't live here very long but the first impression is that people here are very friendly and generous, the country is in ok financial state, and there is a lot of foreign companies and investors...I don't think that the flag should mean anything today, it is there for ages... I wouldn't mess around with history and culture by changing the flag...
I personally don't think that the lion with red claws is more scary than bear, eagle, hawk or any other lion...
one of the countries that has to think about their flag is Saudi Arabia... they have a saber on their flag FFS!?!?!?! now that could scare investors :D

My guess is ,they'll never gonna change it, to much pride involved.

Rebranding signifies change.
So although a simple flag redesign will not solve their issues, it can become a marker to represent an official change in policy and philosophy.
So yes, this is a good thing to do.
Now having a design competition for a logo is probably not.

if that's scary, I mean, something isn't right with people. if they change their flag, with all of it's history, they should be shot.

You have to think about Flanders before you can get the wrong impression.
