Section 6 of the 1994 act:

I see no way that can be used to take a tricolour from a person unless you wrote fu*k the queen on it or some other rubbish.

Complete outrage IF true. Find it hard to believe any member of the Gardai would do so unless as you say flag had been defaced in some way. I'm shocked tbh.

I don't understand this attitude, they want the British out of the 6 counties. They aren't trying to say that they want Britain wiped off the face of the earth!! You don't have to hate everything about Britain, to want the soldiers to go home!! BTW Liverpool, Man Utd, Aston Villa and Arsenal are all American owned companies now, Chelsea are Russian owned, Man City Saudi owned, Blackburn Indian owned, Fulham Egyptian owned, Birmingham is owned by a Hong Kong businessman, Celtics majority shareholder is an Irishman.

So they sit in the pub on a Saturday cheering on the Indian/American/Saudi/Egyptian league is it?

Most of them couldn't name the six counties. They want to cause hassle.

She could've been waving it in a hysterical manner indicating she might get over-stimulated and become a public nuisance.

I think the real disgrace though is how people like you along with your attitude have made people over the last 40 years or so run a mile from (a) the Irish language and culture and (b) learning about Irish history –instead associating such interests with “provos” and the like, as opposed to been a language and culture as Ancient and as interesting as that of the Latin language, or of say French culture.

And for most people in this country, from all cultural and social backgrounds – it is an honour to have a head of state visit our shores, much as it will be an honour to receive the President of the United States. You are a cartoonish and clownish buffoon, and people like you do nothing more than damage the image of this country in the eyes of others – along with the language and culture internally.

Would you like me to pretend I care what you think?

Its amazing to think that neanderthals had mastered fire a few hundred thousand years ago and these lot are still getting to grips with it!

Fairly sure you can't implement that act for a maybe. They'd have to wait for her to become abusive or threatening.

That's really getting away from the point.

Today she's going to the Garden of Remembrance in Parnell Square, to lay a wreath and commemorate those that died for Irish freedom. I disagree that it's highly insulting. I see it as a concession that these men should not have died in order to gain our freedom, and a true acceptance of the Republic as a sovereign state.

Is it an acceptance that all of Ireland should be free from British rule? Thats what those men and women wanted.

Are you implying those teams aren't English?

They are as English as Guinness is Irish.

I thought she was laying the wreath in memory of the 50,000 Irish who gave their lives fighting in WW1?

Thats at a different memorial, think its later on today.

Laying the wreath in the Garden of Remembrance is a huge deal I think. Its an acknowledgement that those who fought against Britain were legitimate patriots. I'm sure she's attended memorial services etc for German soldiers in WWII. Now of course, there is then the dichotomy of whether the people currently 'fighting' for a united Ireland should also be afforded the same respect. But, as is usual with us and our history, its got to be complicated. Still definitely a step in the right direction though.

And yet you somehow want us to care what a tiny minority think in terms of Northern Ireland and Britain's Queen ?

so? what makes their opinion more valid than the thousands who died at the hands of those republicans who invoked their memory? At least the 1916 leaders got a trial before excecution even if it was a court martial

The fact that they died at all is worth a wreath, not that what they died for was only half achieved.

I never feel superior, I just have sympathy for the less fortunate.

But it's the Queen's flag. And for all you know that women could have been from Northern Ireland.

Thanks, you answered it while I was still trying to work out if dichotomy was the right word to use:rolleyes:

So if i don't agree with the Americans going into Iraq, i shouldn't watch the NFL, or any Hollywood movies, or any US tv shows, or but american products?? If i don't agree with the Irish government letting the US planes land in Shannon, should i not use any shops here??

So you don't see the hypocrisy in carrying signs saying "Brits out" wearing jerseys supporting British teams.

Those lads are an embarrassment to the Republican movement. Most are probably thugs hoping to chuck a brick at the Gardai.

No i dont. They are not making a protest against the british people, big difference. btw i have no time for them either but having a go at them for your reason is a bit petty imo.

Ah no - we're happier in our inferiority complex that you pointed out to us earlier.

BTW - for the record - since I had absolutely no association with the photoshopped JPG until you tried to manufacture one, I'd advise laying off dragging me into petty made-up squabbles....next attempt gets reported.

Make a point or argument if you want, but quit with the rubbish posts and lame attempts at discrediting anything I said by associating me with other posts.
