Want to make a T-Shirt and to know if it's offensive to Brits alike (lemmy.world)

So, I was spacing out while waiting for my next class in college and had this idea and wanted to know what a British person would think of it. I wanted to make a T-Shirt with the outline of the Falkland Islands filled with the Union Jack, and on the top, or top-left corner, a depiction of Queen Elizabeth II smiling from Heaven casting down sunrays on the islands. I'm not trolling, I wanted to make something to piss off Argies and supporters alike.

So, what do you think?

I think you can find better ways to spend your time.

I don't think it would piss many of us off. It does sound like a Ben Garrison cartoon in the making though

Exactly the kind of kitsch fascist Brits love bedecking themselves in and that liberals love laughing at. It would go down a storm with all concerned. No idea what you have against Argentinians, mind.

I don't think that'll piss many Brits off. I imagine a map of the Falklands, coloured in with the Argentinian flag with "Malvinas" above it might only upset the veterans or Islanders.
