The Irish Government should put a ban on the Manufacturing of the Irish flag and then they should become the sole distributor of the flags worldwide so when they buy the flags up north the government will make a huge profits.

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

Again, it's ok to disrespect their flag, but not for them to disrespect ours.

The hypocrisy never fails to show through.

You said it Fred,
Ban anyone from the boards for having the audacity to refer to the jack as the butchers apron, and call them hyprocrits if they dont have your take on it.

Mods: I have asked the poster to provide evidence to back up this wild and untrue accusation. As they have been unable to do so, please could it be deleted.

Brilliant. That's some high horse your on. Everyone knows your form, which is most likely why the mod doesn't give a fcuk. You've only yourself and your anti-Irish "Rule Britannia" attitude to blame

Again, please provide evidence of my anti Irish attitude.

Thinking that certain republicans are a bunch of complete hypocrites, does not make someone anti Irish.

You can't though, nor can you argue against blatent displays of hypocrisy, so you go for the ad hominem abuse instead.

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. It is just a petty childish swipe at a nation, the same as idiots burning the Irish flag.

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

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

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,

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.
