    That's just as incoherent and ignorant as the some of the **** in the report.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    It seems like an easy mistake to make, three flags on a Nationalist school one flag in the centre much taller than the other two, which at 1st glance is an Irish Tricolour! on closer inspection the Orange is Red, but why is the Italian flag more prominent & higher than the Polish and Turkish national flags?

    Maybe because flagpoles are generally arranged/erected like that with the centre flag usually reserved for the home country with visiting/related flags on the smaller poles but considering none of the flags being flown were from the home country they had to pick one to put on it and so put the italian one on it. Does it even make any difference???

    Why not raise the flag to the same height as the others though?

    Because it would be flying at half mast.

    Why are people surprised that someone got our flag mixed up? Half of people in this country can't get it right. I'm always hearing this green, white and gold crap.

    Link text says the three flags were Polish, Italian and Turkish.
    But the picture in the article shows a Russian flag not a Polish flag.

    just sayin :)

    Would that be the Willie or the Frazer or both :rolleyes:

    Curious, why is there soo much hatred towards him here? and why has he so much hatred in him towards the IRA? Rhetorically of course.

    See my post earlier in thread (#19)

    Explains a lot.

    Thanks for that, and I agree with all you say in #19, but it still doesn't explain the pure hatred aimed at him in this thread!

    Well he's very anti-nationalist, 90 odd% of boards would be nationalist (with either a small or capital N)

    This should be post of the day. I can just picture him down the back of the class sniffing tippex all day & drawing little 'UVF R COOL' doodles all day in class..

    You're right. boards.IE should be exclusively for discussing issues of global relevance.

    He's a horrible, thick, mentalist sectarian bigot. Why are you ignoring the hateful stuff he's said and done? I know you've unionist leanings, I've nationalist ones yet I wouldn't ignore what that vile scumbag Martin Ferris has done.

    I don't think anyone's bothered about the flag confusion, rather the fact he said an Irish flag flying outside a school in South Armagh can only mean an IRA training ground. What a pig of a man.

    I think 'Ruralyoke' explains it well in post#19.

    Can't stand Ferris and everything he stands for.

    Please explain about missing the point.

    I think the people in this thread are missing the point. You're a troll and not a very good one at that. You've drawn attention to yourself by pretending you don't get it and you've been quoted numerous times. You're probably fapping yourself red in the face from the attention you're getting.

    Typical uniformed idiotic generalisation. Just shut up before you embarrass yourself any further.

    It's not exactly surprising that he is somewhat unhinged and an over zealous critic of all things republican.

    He's a nutter, but I almost feel sorry for him.

    What does that say about his band of merry men?

    Pack of fucking droolers.

    I don't think I was clear enough in my earlier post - I'll explain a little more clearly this time.

    I think the topic can be discussed alright; I'm not saying that we should only discuss global topics.

    What I'm getting at is that no one in the entire world cares about this ridiculous situation except a handful of people who cannot see how stupid it is. I'm not having a go at you for bringing it up, more the situation itself. It's quite pathetic.
