A Motto for the UK?

Rumours are abound that Gordon Brown and Downing Street are looking to chisel out a national motto for the UK.

Americans, Swedes, Samoans have a national motto, so why not the UK?

Mr Brown’s spokesman said he welcomed debate about a motto like France’s “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity”.

But he said the prime minister was investigating a longer “statement of values” which could be used as part of any future “Bill of Rights”.

Mr Brown has urged a new relationship between government and citizens.

The Daily Mail reported that a five or six word motto could be emblazoned on every public building in Britain - and could even be included on UK passports and birth certificates to boost national pride.

What do you think, dear TeenToday readers? What sort of motto would you be proud to see on your passport?

    I don’t live in the UK, but I think pride of where you live is great :] I am in full support of the UK adopting a motto.
