Rejoice! Bringing Back Control! Rule Britannia! Nothing offsets economic ruin like a stamp!

We had thought that stamps with a neat Foodbank graphic might have been apt, but @DialMforMurdo has trumped us with this pithy sci-fi / disaster movie motif.
Remember you can’t eat flags but you can lick stamps.
Artists / designers – other attempts will be added here.

I believe all stamps are now self-adhesive…
But there was a stamp celebrating the UK joining the European Economic Community in 1973 (as it then was).
It’s a bit weird for anyone’s purposes. It’s a self-coloured jigsaw with the UK as the only piece that has its national flag. I suppose the post-EEC/EU stamp would then be the UK as a non-attached jigsaw piece, still with its flag, separate from the anonymous bloc. Although now the EU has it’s own flag, maybe the bloc should be the blue and stars?
Sadly, there are things other than stamps, which many often lick (figuratively.)
The sci-fi one at the top doesn’t really work as Westminster is the true death star. It turns the victimisers in the victims.
