Why such a fuss over Union flag?

10 January 2013

All this rioting about a stupid flag. What the hell is the mentality like?

Correct me if I am wrong, but almost all the protesters are most likely born in Ireland, right?

So why are they even remotely interested in the British (and English-perceived) flag?

They should only be flying the Irish flag. If they like England so much, hop on the ferry and go live there. Easy as that.

It seems a bit like Kiwis rioting because the Australian flag is not flown on New Zealand parliament buildings.
