17 Things That Could Be Britain's New National Symbol

    If not a hedgehog, then what?

    On Tuesday night, a debate in the House of Commons dealt with whether the national symbol of Britain should be changed from a lion to a hedgehog. Here are some alternatives if that doesn't work out.

    1. Some really nice chips could be the national symbol of Britain.

    2. This man eating a Scotch egg on a rock in some drizzle.

    3. A sadly dropped kebab.

    4. An enormous Hula Hoop.

    5. This person politely waiting at a traffic light on the pavement.

    6. This would be a wonderful national symbol of Britain.

    If you want an image of London imagine a terrapin riding a dead fox in the Regents canal, forever.

    7. This man having a pint on top of a bus stop.

    8. This person encircled by threatening seagulls.

    9. This incredibly tiny bench.

    10. A drunk Father Christmas being sick into a hat.

    11. The police arresting a swan.

    12. A TRIPLE Frosted Shredded Wheat.

    13. Bounce, the dog.

    14. Some Turkey Twizzlers and potato smilies.

    15. This traffic warden giving a wheelbarrow a parking ticket.

    16. This flag.

    17. This tweet should absolutely be the national symbol of Britain.
