Why are so many Cork people with inferiority complexes such a pain in the arse?

baldbear · 20-05-2011 4:07pm

i just realised she didn't go throught security checks. What if she's carrying a bomb or smuggling over a few pounds of bacon???

Dont be a tool. She got cheers in cashel too. Security meant she didnt in Dublin.

BBC news 24 just said '' a few hundred protesters aside , nothing destroyed the dignity of the occasion '' and that's how it will be viewed by the British media and public in the main , a great success for all concerned

She's not a suicide bomber and also UK & Ireland is a free travel are so she can bring as much bacon home as she wants!

Just another Shinner who can't stand the fact that the Queen was welcomed by the vast majority of the Irish people and another very poor attempt at getting a dig at the Gardai.
Must try harder.

I'm not sure about the gardai confiscating flags actually I seen an article on it but have since decided the article isnt based on any credible evidence. Wasnt designed to have a "dig" at the Gardai.

And I'm not a member of nor do I support Sinn Fein. By calling anyone you disagree with "another Shinner" just shows your lack of intelligence. Not everyone against the Queens visit supports Sinn Fein. And I have already pointed out several times that I think the Queens visit was good and I'm glad it happened. But just because the majority of people are ready to lick the queens arse for saying a couple of nice things doesnt mean everyone is that gullible or lacking in sufficient brain power to have their own opinion.

I hope all replying to him realise ye come across as just as idiotic.

forzacalcio · 20-05-2011 4:11pm

I dont think there were any Union Jacks being waved by the public of Cork! Cant pass the buck that quick Im afraid!

My name is URL · 20-05-2011 4:11pm

Surely that flag won't survive the flight?

CHealy · 20-05-2011 4:11pm

Wasnt all dandy, apparently there was clashes with riot police along Wandesford Quay, 32C Movement were marching up that way when I was at the end of Barracks street.

Not quite

Stroll over to the Daily Mail site. They misquoted Gerry Adams, invented a headline and the website is exploded in rage, hundreds of angry comments about the Irish

I'm not a Sinn Féin supporter but they twisted his words completely

So not every British media is viewing it that way

What does the Queen do with all these 'gifts' she gets.

More to the point is it not odd for adults to receive gifts for arriving in a place? I would usually give a gift when I visit somebody's place. As far as I'm aware that's the normal practice among what the English might term 'civilised' people.

There's a fine line between friendliness/politeness, and sycophancy.

Balmed Out · 20-05-2011 4:14pm

A few protestors over by FAS. Some SF but mostly Socialists. They had a van playing rebel songs also which were quite aggressive but when the queen drove along the cheering drowned them out and the black balloons they let go all headed away over FAS so werent seen.

Sure Enda Kenny done the same. He's repeatedly attacked Adams over the last few days for not attending any of the functions, and accused him of taking Northern politics into Ireland.

I didn't hear of any flag confiscated or destroyed.

I seen a video on youtube and some articles about it on various news sites. Gardai tried to take a flag off a woman but after a closer look I think the Gadrai were just confiscating the poles that the flags were on. Video was very misleading and I was duped for a lil while. I hereby retract my statement.

J. Marston · 20-05-2011 4:16pm

She's probably looking through all her gifts now. Either that or asleep, she must be wrecked.

Jesus. A new low. Anything to latch onto and make some sort of complaint about it. The Madrilenos must be sycophants for us and McAleese so. Or it could you know, just be a gesture for a visiting dignitary..
