Irish flag raised over Stormont

Crooked Jack · 03-06-2015 03:52PM #1

Some cheeky boyo has gone and run the tricolour (and what appears to be the 1916 Irish Republic flag) up the flag pole at Stormont.
Can't imagine this will do Peter's heart any good if he sees a picture of it without the context.

Unionists are calling for whoever is responsible to found and hung, draw and quartered.

What do you say AH, a cause for serious offence or someone having a bit of craic?

It's actually just an Ivory Coast flag that they've hung up backwards.

I bet Ian Paisley's ghost did it

Made me chuckle:

A full investigation will be launched as to why the Tricolour was erected over Stormont.
Granted, the flag doesn't represent the Loyalists but calling the police? :rolleyes:
I wonder if this will start a new fleg war :rolleyes:
Feckin eejits

Lol @ Winston Irvine, I thought that was a made up proto-loyalist name.

Classic prank, better not tell Peter Robinson just for the moment eh?

bear1 · 03-06-2015 04:08PM

If only Ian Paisley was still around

Lots of jimmies rustled so cant complain. Always get a laugh from the pathetic fleg crowd

Crooked Jack · 03-06-2015 04:26PM

The fleggers will be so confused

ScumLord · 03-06-2015 04:27PM

Does that mean N.Ireland won this round of capture the flag?

mikeym · 03-06-2015 04:33PM

Typical Unionists getting carried away over nothing.

Chips Lovell · 03-06-2015 04:35PM

Can't get cross party agreement over the budget?

Let's distract everyone with a row about flags instead.

Brilliant, nice bit of trolling there

It's not even a country to be that level of an embarrassment

This strikes me more as some cheeky maintenance guy in having a laugh

Gran Hermano · 03-06-2015 04:48PM

Just in time to add some fuel to the fires and annual sponsored walks up there.

c_man · 03-06-2015 04:48PM

Haha! Good stuff. The Loyalists will be looking for revenge no doubt, obviously they'll be trying to erect the Union Jack over the Dail. But don't worry, myself and some Lads are gonna patrol the area. With cans.

May I ask why you and other people on social media repeatedly spell the word, in a mock-Ulster accent, as "fleg"?

Not once in my life have I ever heard someone from Northern Ireland pronounce that word "fleg".

This seems like one of those very mildy amusing jokes which somehow got taken on as an internet meme, but makes no sense.

Harmless bit of fun id say. Methinks these Unionists take themselves too seriously sometimes.

I'm quite familiar with how people from Northern Ireland sound when they speak, cheers mate.

Perhaps you could link me some footage of them pronouncing it "fleg", as in "beg", as opposed to "flag" as in "bag".

Again, this just proves that the pronunciation "fleg" is only used by people mocking flag protesters.

The protesters themselves very clearly pronounce it "flag".

It's called humour, tongue in cheek.
For someone with your username I'd have thought you'd see the funny side.

I agree with MakeEmLaugh, if you're going to mock somebody's accent, at least mock a word that they actually use.

Kneekeps? Kulshur? Kaffliks?

You heard it hear first. Unionists are the KKK.

That's so last century. The next level is to mock them for a word they don't say so they go into hysterics about how they never even say that word. Like the Americans have been doing to us for the last few decades. "Top of the morning", feck off will ya, I don't say that.

LDN_Irish · 03-06-2015 05:36PM

Considering we learnt on the other thread that loyalists all brick "southern reg" cars, am I right to assume that Stormont has already been bricked and burnt to the ground?
