Trouble in Belfast

HundertzehnGustav · 12-08-12, 06:58 PM

councilors want the british flag on 17 days only.

bunch of Kids and yopungsters are against it and start to stir sh**.

in 30 years, 3.6k dead in fights of
cath.nat's that want to become Irish versus Security (sposedly neutral?) and Protestants that want to stay UK

agree though. the article jumps back and forth in time, gives only a very broad and vague info of the general situation.

Bottom line: something happened. like so often in the past, but we aint got a clue what this event means, and if we had one, we aint gonna tell ya.

a teenager could have written more than this reporter.

You gotta admit its funny though.
The orangemen go on about wanting to be just like Britain and this motion puts them in line with the rest of Britain which clearly is what they want as thats what they say they want...and they object that they are being made just like Britain.

The Nationalists who now hold a majority on Belfast City Council had wanted the union flag taken down altogether, but in the end voted on a compromise from the Alliance party that it would fly on designated days.

Unionists have said they consider the changes regarding the union flag to be an attack on their cultural identity.

So on and on it goes.

Still, even at its worst at the moment it's still an improvement from the old days, surely?

Its not a majority, the council is NOC, republican/nationalists hold 24 of 51 seats.
