Known as the 'Butchers apron' by the Irish and many others, that symbol of a Germanic royal mafias power gains, by way of terrorism.
The butchers apron is to be ditched by New Zealand.
About time that New Zealand grew up, matured.

Clever but serious question posed here in the past by Finn which I think sums up the matter.
If Al Capone had made it, achieved the ultimate goal of becoming the boss, the number 1 big shot bully boy criminal, and made all his gains appear legal. Gains that were oringially made by way of terror (via his army of thugs) , his large scale protection rackets (tax system) that provided him with a share from so many big shot criminals under his control.
If Capone became obscenely wealthy from his cut (tax take) from the many other smaller and petty criminals who worked under his effective protection, If he Al Capone had made it, and made it all look legal!

Would you seriously line the streets to bow to his Great grand daughter or accept that she was a Princess.
Stand to salute the Capone flag and tell your children to do likewise, as if it is all perfectly sane and sensible!
Why not?
Just because you know the full story!

So forget Disney, when the true story of that Princess, like every Princess is based in, rooted in a bully boy ancestor and terror. Organised crime.
Horror stories made into bedtime dreams for children and grown up fools, but they are still perverse like the origin

The Butchers apron song lyrics include the line
The Maori often cursed it
With his bitterest dying breath

The story of the union jack, butchers apron

WELLINGTON, Jan 29, 2014 (AFP) - New Zealand Prime Minister John Key said Wednesday he supported changing the national flag but would hold a referendum before any decision was made to ditch the existing banner.

The current flag has attracted criticism because one corner features the Union Jack, the symbol of former colonial power Britain, with the remainder consisting of four stars representing the Southern Cross constellation.

Key said he believed the flag should display a silver fern, the national emblem already used by New Zealand sporting teams such as rugby union's All Blacks.

"I'd like to see a change," he told reporters. "But firstly it's not the single biggest issue that we as a country face. And secondly, even with those who want to change, there's not universal support for what we should change to.

"My personal view is, silver fern's the right way to go."

Key said the New Zealand public was split 50-50 on adopting a new flag and he planned to sound out senior ministers about the prospect of holding a referendum on the issue to coincide with a general election due later this year.

He said Canada, another former colony of Britain, had never regretted adopting its distinctive maple leaf flag in 1965.

"I know it was a ferocious debate in Canada, but in the end would any Canadians look back and say they got it wrong with the maple leaf?"

The Republican Movement of New Zealand, which advocates an end to recognizing the British monarch as New Zealand's head of state, remains indifferent.

"We realise there is momentum to change the flag, and we are not against it," said the movement's chairman, who goes by the single name Savage.

"But the substance is changing the head of state. It's symbolic only to change the flag."

Yet for many, a new flag would represent another small step by New Zealand toward disentangling itself from its British past.

In 2004, for instance, the country established a Supreme Court to replace Britain's Privy Council as the final court of appeal.

Recent opinion polls have yielded conflicting indications about whether a majority favour a change.

Victor Gizzi, the national sales manager at flag manufacturer Flagmakers, said "older people tend to want the status quo," while younger people feel differently.

The announcement comes after New Zealand's Maori king has refused to meet Prince William during a royal tour next month.

The Maori Kings office said the King is "not a carnival act" for visiting dignitaries.

A small step for mankind
A giant leap for common sense
