    The Union Jack won't be flying for long in any part of Scotland judging by the trends towards the SNP.
    Except it won't be that easy, and Salmond knows it. Ironically, the SNP has become a victim of its own success. Four years ago, Scots voters wanted a government that would "stand up for Scotland"; now they've got it, they aren't particularly interested in going any further. As recent academic research has demonstrated, public support for independence has, at best, flatlined over the past three years at about 30%.

    Banning the Union flag in our own country? :confused:

    I don't think it should be banned, it's unfortunate though that there are bigots like yourself, your fellow rangers fans, and well, the BNP/National Front dickheads that have brought a new sort of a meaning to the display of the flag

    My point initially tho was that it's fairly daft to say that you'd start a riot because you can't wave a flag on the day of a wedding. Still, typical small minded stupidity I'd expect from anyone who supports that disgusting club

    Less of the accusations please.

    Anyway, onto your points. I didn't say i would start a riot. I said there would be riots if you started banning the Union flag in N.I or even in many parts of Scotland. Why should it be banned in the United Kingdom? The flag of the UK banned in the UK? Doesn't make much sense. It is actually stupidity personified.
