    There's a valid reason why its called the butchers apron,there is no valid reason to burn the tricolour.

    Loyalists burning the flag of a country that, until recently had a constitutional claim to theirs?

    Should boards lead The way by banning any one who calls the Union flag the butcher's apron?

    No, you need to read my posts again. They do not contradict each other in the slightest.
    I'm not advocating anyone ban calling the Union Flag the "Butcher's Apron" if people want to do it, good luck to them.
    Did you not write this, looks to me as if you wanted some people baned for not referring to the brit flag in terms that suited you,

    But, don't use the term butcher's apron and then bitch and moan when loyalists burn the Tri Colour. It is hypocritical

    I personally did not bitch obout the Irish flag being burned by morans in the North,

    But saying as the Irish flag wasnt rammed down peoples throats the world over at the point of a gun,
    I can see how a lot of people have a strong dislike for the brit flag/ butchers apron

    At the risk of being a grammar Nazi, when someone ends a sentence with a question mark (this thing ?) It means they are asking a question.

    Thread has gone sway off topic and is just personal sniping now.
