Northern Ireland 2125?

So you are admitting now you made up the lie that someone used an angle grinder to threaten the public?

Have you a link to where anyone says the public were threatened - presumably by the person with the "chainsaw" as you earlier called it but you have backed down and just accept it was an angle grinder now?

Read the newspaper articles about it?

I read a few items about it, it is not very noteworthy news as republicans have destroyed hundreds of Londonderry signs, Welcome to Northern Ireland etc signs over the years, and I did not come across anyone saying someone was threatened in the latest sign incident.

Plus plenty of people on social media saying it was the most predictable "crime" ever, how the psni have sealed off the crime scene etc.

That is why I asked you to back up your claim, you made it.

Care to point me to the democratic mandate for Londonderry over Derry, Blanch? Certainly not in Derry in recent memory.

I'm not insecure enough to be troubled by people referring to it as either, and I certainly wouldn't agree with those who vandalise road signs to remove the London part......yourself and your cohorts playing down the activities in Belfast seem to think that's fair game though and apparently we shouldn't have signs saying Londonderry throughout most of that county.

That’s not really the point though, is it?

Since we officially recognised three languages in the Belfast Agreement, it follows that bi- or tri-lingual signs should also be put up in Ulster-Scots if they are putting them up in Irish.

And my question was how many signs are there with Ulster-Scots in either jurisdiction on the island?

Offhand, I don’t know of any in the Republic even in areas where Ulster-Scots was or is spoken.

If you belive irish and british culture should be cherished you would support irish as well english on signs. Its disingenuous to say you belive irish should be cherished and then say that it shouldnt be on sign posts because bigots cant handle it.

False equivalence. The argument would be that a British flag and an irish flag would have to be put on every public street in the jurisdiction or else both cultures are not being cherished. Is there any jurisdiction in the world that puts flags on every public street in its jurisdiction. That is a stupid argument to make as the British flag is not put on every street in Britain nor the irish flag but on every public street in the Republic. However both Britain and the Republic do have dual signage in its jurisdictions. See the difference?

It would be silly having any legislation for flags on every public street. It not irish nor British culture so you cant be accused of not cherishing either cultures if you dont.

Moot point about the flag too. The fact is many see the tricolour as a symbol that best represents thier irish identity. You cant tell others people what symbils they should identify with.

The GFA does say that both the irish and british culture has to be cherished. So having signs in both english and irish would seem compatible with this. Not having either english or irish wouldn't tho.
