Northern Ireland 2125?

Can you answer this question. If a private company was going to pay for public dual signs would you still have a problem with dual signs? You see it is not about money.

Its the sad fleg bastards with a colonial mindset that can't hack seeing irish on a sign as goes against thier idea that they have conquered.

Why in Scotland and Wales do they not have a problem regarding dual signs? The answer is because they dont have a cohert of sad fleg bastards with a colonial mindset.

Private companies would not pay for dual language signs as it would cost a lot of money and for aesthetic reasons. Ask Michael O'Leary would he pay for Aer Ryan on his planes alongside Ryanair?

If he was forced to (say in a U.I.) and objected, no doubt you would call him another " fleg bastard with a colonial mindset ". Your words, not mine.

I think the sad bastards with MOPE mindsets are those who want to use other peoples money to mark out territory, seeing as the Irish language was hijacked by violent Republicanism in N.I., same as the flag was there.

Why not ask boards.ie to go bi-lingual? You see, there is no demand for it.

whataboutery.

Do you call for boards.ie to go bi-lingual? No, why do you think that is?

Its not the first official language in N.I. But even if it was, why not call for Ryanair or Supermacs or Boards.ie to go bi-lingual? They would if they thought even 10% of people want them to spend money doing so.

More grist to the mill:

English comes from.... drum roll... England, not Ireland. NI is a jurisdiction in Ireland where the only language that is indigenous to its area is Irish and most place names and many peoples names derive from the language. So yes anyone looking at it objectively would say it is very culturally significant to NI. The same goes with in Welsh in Wales hence why they have dual signage.

Any non state company can do what they like regarding what language they communicate in. We have aready starting to see the biggest supermarket snd restaurant chain in ireland starting to spend money on irish which blows up your assertion that no non state company spend money on irish.

I wasn't talking about a Nationalist perspective, Downcow. I was talking about the contents of the report you linked, which shows a significantly more nuanced position than, '70% of people favour flegs, flegs and more flegs'. Did you actually read it or just gleefully post it because someone like Bryson stuck up a tweet saying it said 70% of people wanted to shag a flag?

I can't speak for an entire community on the matter; I don't think flying flags is something unique to your community. Speaking for myself, I think it is largely crass territorialism akin to dogs pissing on lampposts and I think the absolute state of a lot of the flags flying shows incredible disrespect to them.

I wouldn't actually be opposed to flags being hung along parade routes for the 12th and then respectfully removed afterwards, I've no issue with the Union flag flying on designated days on City Hall per standard UK practice, and I wouldn't have an issue with a well kept flag flying at a WWI or WWII memorial. That isn't an exhaustive list, just off the top of my head.

I do have an issue with UVF flags being flown with the WWI facade that even the most hardline Loyalist doesn't actually believe, with them being hung in the middle of the night by hoods, paramilitaries and the likes without permission. I've a problem with them being used to intimidate rather than celebrate or commemorate, and a huge problem with them flying in tatters and making places look like an absolute kip. Apart from the UVF flag, I apply those opinions equally to both sides and would share the same opinion of any flags flying in support of Republican paramilitaries. It's not patriotic, it's tacky.

I think all downcow saw was 70%.

Try reading the full report, Downcow. Not just what you saw on social media.
