the bloody lion is wrong too apparently...

a boffin chimes: "Former chairman of the Heraldry Society, Steve Ashley, wrote to the Evening News: "The lion and castle come from the arms of the City of Norwich, first used in the late twelfth century.

“The lion was originally derived from the those depicted in the arms of England, and should be a lion ‘passant guardant’, walking to the left with raised forepaw and its head turned to face the observer.

“This form of lion is accurately and successfully used in the current arms of the England football team.”

The lion is now shown looking to the left.

The boffin added: “The feeble lion on the proposed new badge is neither heraldic nor realistic. Its head fails to threaten, it has weak paws and claws, and its rather awkward rear legs lack movement, being closer in appearance to those of a kangaroo." ffs a Kangaf**kingroo and an unstable bird with beak deformity
