houstie 0 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 It gets crazier by the day We must be the only country in the world who publicly attempt to stop any show of national pride, heritage or hounor and oppress any citizens who wish to be proud of our nation and celebrate in our flags and standards. It really is fucking commical. I dont hate anyone for thier colour creed or religion. I might not agree with them. But I am fucked if I am going to be stopped celebrating my own culture in my own country by showing a union flag for fear of offending someone If I decided to live in any other country in the world and was so offended by a show of national pride there, then I'd live somwhere else. I have no issue with immigrants being in my country, I would love someone to let me know exactly which ones are offended. Can anyone make up an icon like this but with a union flag or would that be offensive? its in the box wi the smiley when you go to reply Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingKai 439 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Speechless ! The only way to get rid of these people is to vote them out. How can they dare say the Union flag is offensive...seriously...you should all be writing Gordon Brown. I could just see the outrage here if the Stars and Stripes was not allowed to be flown..all hell would break loose. The flag is everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
delparlane 5,710 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Absolutely sickened reading about that. King Kai is right - if that happened over here in the States, there would be all Hell to pay. The servicemen and women being honoured fought and died under the UJ, NOT the f***ing tricolour of ROI!!! Bugger that lot who are loathe to fly the flag of THEIR OWN COUNTRY. TFIO - you're MORE than welcome to leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRICKY1872 118 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I've travelled all over the world with the RAF and without exception countries and people fly their national flag with pride. This country is a fuckin' joke at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PENGUY 2 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 THE LAW 21. NATIONAL FLAGS The Union Flag and/or the Scottish Saltire Flag may be freely flown by any Scot or Scottish Corporate body anywhere in Scotland, to demonstrate their nationality and allegiance. No special permission is required, and either or both may correctly be flown. If thats the law how can the council say its povocative They had better reply to me on this i'm still raging!!

Chef 436 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 a wee while back the perth cpuncil told some lady to remove the saltire from her sons window, think the reasons were it could offend anyone who may find it offensive, i find cmeltic offensive and certainly provocative when i see the hoops coming my way, if its an offence to indirectly offend someone i guess were all to blame, i offend lots of the scum when im in ma local watching a game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighlandBear 1 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Inverness put up this effort, at the town house, however the castle is just behind it, and flies The Union Flag proudly, but that has to do with it also housing the sheriff, district & high court's.

longjohn 0 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 May I suggest we have a mass organised flag day outside the chambers? Something like that would 1. certainly attract a lot of attention 2. Get right up GCC nose. 3. Show that a lot of people, want the Union flag flying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a hard necked bhastard ! Wonder whats brought all this on ???? Scottish labour MP's are the biggest buch of self serving basards there is. They put the interests of their careers ahead of the interests of Scotland and have been working to undermine the democratically elected Scottish government. Scottish labour=Scotland's shame.
