    They didn't deface our flag. They defaced the union jack using other colours.

    Unless you think we own those colours.

    People still get worked up about the english flag in this day and age? Thought we'd progressed passed that as a nation.

    Thats a better one but still doesn't take away from the fact that they are merged.

    Our flag hasn't been defaced, it's the Union Flag that has been corrupted if anything.

    I have to agree with this view. Looks more like they're defacing the Union Jack.

    I thought it was more a hybrid. At least in my copy it looked like it was red, white and Green.

    If they had done the other way with the Tricolour in the UK colours would it not have just been the French Flag?

    You're overreacting there a bit I think. If any flag is being "defaced" it's the British one.

    "A crime against the history of Ireland" ; How?

    free publicity for a british-owned electrical goods store with middling prices, fair play to the original poster

    Agreed - Free Publicity!

    Very clever marketing ploy.

    They haven't defaced the Irish flag, they have defaced the British Flag [not the English Flag btw]

    Why is this in Consumer Issues, should it not be moved to the Provos-are-us forum or whatever the nationalist equivalent of Stormfront is.

    "God save a fortune"!?
    With that and the "defaced" union jack it's clear to see that's it's the Brits who are being slagged! Some might say it's and insult to the history of their country!


    Huzzah!
