Well I'd be of the opinion that those scum have insulted those who fought the true fight a hell of a lot more, and lets not mention what they've done to our flag.

Ye it sickens me to those scumbags parading our flag around when they have nothing but hate and disgust from the country they supposedly represent.

No they didn't. As individuals, we can attest that we personally did not vote for some or other party. But we cannot collectively do so as a people.
And despite all the wailing and grinding of teeth about PIRA two decades ago these same characters have now been redeemed (without repenting!).
Thus it is a bit silly to think that the dissidents will be remotely moved by cries of "not in our name". They will quite reasonably think: "yeez just need time to understand that what we are doing is justified"

SF only managed about 10% and there are plenty, plenty of people who'd never vote for them.

I'll be waving my union jack too. Right before I wipe my arse with it.

For any given party, there are also plenty of people who would never vote for them. And SF support is a lot more than 10% on the island of Ireland. And it is a certainly a lot more than could allow them to be dismissed as as a fairly irrelevant fringe as say, the BNP still can be in GB.
They are a medium sized party and IMO, big enough to ensure that any cry of "not in my name" from the Irish people to be justifiably dismissed.

How am I wrong then? That's the layman's definition of what one would consider a dissident republican, or at least this layman: They're dissenting the mainstream view of violence being unnecessary nowadays, through violence.

Don't try to be disingenuous: you were clearly demeaning the poster in question by writing "blah, blah, blah" instead of just omitting it from your response.

'Not in my name, now that we are earning money from doing a pretty awful job every 4 years'. That is the message from Sinn Fein now.

It's curious how the first people to give out about supposed anti-British sentiment are among the first to criticise all of the above, and then start threads about putting out union jacks and the like just to provoke hatred. Provoking hatred seems to be OK; reacting to it, well, that's not.

Thats a brand of hyprocracy that seems to go with threads like this some poeple are accused of being anti british then the same person attacks republicans which after all is another political view which deserves the same respect as any.

Saermegil · 03-05-2011 10:01pm

I don't get it - what if your ancestors did fight with britain ? The country I'm from had the highest number of volunteers to fight with the british per capita, as we were occupied by the british at that time. It was a very honourable part of history for us and the British, they did something very positive.

On the same hand, how does that logically lead to flying the british flag? Im sure almost all volunteers were anti-Nazi, not pro-Brit. The british flag just does not make sense in my mind. Flying an Allies symbol or something like that would make more sense!

Oh by the way, I have changed it to an Irish flag,a beautiful flag,a flag that has so much meaning behind it,a flag that so many brave men/women have died for,a flag that I sleep under every night,and a flag that I will be buried with.

**** the union jack,**** the queen.

God save Ireland.

I'm pleased you feel such an affinity with your country and that you feel such pride when flying the flag.

However, why the need for the anti-Britishness in your post? In the year 2011, is it your opinion that an Irish patriot should be staunchly opposed to your neighbour's flag and head of state?

I am proud to be from London, and I am proud to be from Britain. I can freely say this without quickly adding "feck paris and feck france". I feel secure enough in my national pride to not really care about any other country when celebrating it.

Exactly. It is this Anglo-phobic take on Irishness that is rejected by the more progressive minded Irish people, which is confused by some of the "patriots" here with west-Britery.

You and Keith are two peas in a pod. Except he wouldnt think of ever having the word Irish in his username.

Republicans can support foreign football teams deal with it. It has very little to do with an invasion and current occupation of this country, from said foreign lands.

How insulting. Don't ever call me a cockney again.

Seeing as I've been on this forum for nearly a year and have such a low post count, I fail to see how you have been bored by a post per day. I'm pleased you have noticed my contributions however. I post on several parts of the forum on issues completely irrelevant to nationality or international relations, I've never seen you contribute to those discussions, but should I cease to contribute to them due to your request also? I wasn't preaching either, I was replying in a rather civil, and not in any way forceful manner, to a post that interested me from another poster. I also have little in common with Kieth, seeing as issues to do with Northern Ireland don't affect nor interest me.

Out of curiosity, what does your username stand for?

Actualy Willie is the Colonel of the Regiment, so I guess he'd be entitled to wear the uniform

Anti British is not a political view. It's a prejudice based on an aspect of a person over which they have no control. No different to racism.

I had to laugh at a thread in the emergency services forum. A poster claimed that the murder of Gerry McCabe was over fifteen years ago so it was unfair to associate it with present day republicans. Yet somehow it's ok to blame the queen for "war crimes" committed over 100 years ago. And I'm the hypocrite? Give me a break.
