    They are symbols current in Britain, but they have no association with the activities of the British state in the minds of the majority of people. A burger is associated with America, but not the American state. You don't accuse somebody eating one of endorsing US backed death squads in El Salvador in the 80's...

    (I've never seen one either, but I presume they exist)

    It must be Easter! The Shinners have come out to play !:D

    I think it looks cool. I would feel weird wearing it around Dublin though.

    Yeah, that awkward moment when you realize that the United Kingdom has a cooler looking flag than us... dammit O_o

    Does this person have an English mammy or daddy? Cos that would justify it. Or maybe they simply like it.

    No. The butcher's apron is ranked somewhere alongside the nazi flag as regards having it on my person.

    So do you think that Britain should scrap it's flag then? What do you think of people wearing it in the UK? It's not like they're supporting oppression by wearing it?

    It's really not at all hypocritical.:confused:
    English football club jerseys don't represent years of oppression.

    The modern UK is very different than the historic one. I doubt you'd find many British people today who support what happened in Ireland throughout the years.

    All the people involved in that are long dead. The Union Jack belongs to the people of Britain today, not the past.

    No, because they didn't oppress Ireland for hundreds of years. Is it really that hard to comprehend?

    What do you think of an African American wearing the US flag despite all the slavery/oppression they faced?

    Or a German flag. Dublin was bombed in WWII and Operation Green was the planned invasion.

    I live in Scotland, I have a bright orange hoody and I don't even feel comfortable wearing that around here.
    Wouldn't have a problem wearing it around Dublin, Cork or pretty much anywhere bar here and Northern Ireland.

    I have bright orange pants which I probably should never have worn anywhere... people stare....O_o

    I've just taken off something with a tiny (~1' long) Union Flag stitched on the side-my Subzero thermal neck warmer.

    I wear it going out for a run in cold weather like this.

    Couldn't care less what flag it has on it, it keeps me nice and warm :)

    I wouldn't wear anything with a large flag on it though like a t-shirt regardless of what country's flag it is, it just looks tasteless IMO.

    There were Jessie J tops in pennies awhile back where she had a union flag for lipstick and I saw a fair few teenage girls wearing them. I don't think it's a big deal.

    At least the Shinners won't be in , as you put it.

    Sure what was 1916, other than a skirmish in the GPO, by a group of bully boys
    and chancres who had nothing else to do at Easter. Probably pissed off because they did not get an easter egg between them .All they did was frighten the store owners their customers and disrupt trade in Dublin's City Centre.

    Pass around the Easter eggs!

    I remember hearing an interview with him saying that he and liam were asked to write and sing a song for one of the english world club teams but said they wont because they were Irish. So he obviously has some sort of hang up about being called British.
