Simon Evans, Nick Dixon and Paul Cox were left fuming as they discussed Team GB's altering of the Union Jack for the Paris Olympics. 

Designers for the team branded the red, white and blue colours of the flag as “not unique" and have changed the colour scheme to pink and purple.

The move has been criticised heavily and comes in the wake of the row over the St George’s Cross on England’s football shirt. 

Speaking on GB News comedian Nick Dixon said: "It's the flag. Stop changing the flag. They think they can just do what they want with the flag. Who are these people?

Simon Evans explained: "I know the origins of our flag. It is the three national flags that were joined together in the Union. It's not just made up by some design agency they think that very ancient adherence to the patron saint, is absolutely despicable.

<span></span>"I just don't know what's getting into these design agencies at the moment. It does feel like significant political decisions and movements and provocations coming from the most trivial commercial sources."
