Flag dynamics

Status
Not open for further replies.
Ireland is a bit confusing because there’s the Tricolour flag, the Cross border flag, the Ulster banner, the cross of St Patrick and the Union flag.
The Tricolour is the national flag of the Irish Republic.
The St Patrick's Saltire is of Anglo Norman origin.
The Ulster banner is basically a St George's Cross with a Red Hand and Crown on it.
I think it was connected to the old Stormont Parliament before the British government decided that a dose of regime change might help appease the IRA, so they abolished it.
 
Even if,for example, Knave of Hearts really did used to post here under the ID Himmy, that would not affect the validity of anything he says, would it? I mean, how can it?
Using different names.
Works OK for Tommy 'Guess his name this week' Robinson.

On "people sitting by a war memorial"...

One sees a lot of these people now,
Yes. I know the type that I see a lot. Are they the same?
especially in town and city centres. Sitting, standing, smoking, talking on mobiles, doing nothing in particular, all day long.
Yes, unemployable in a lot of cases. This is where the benefit net could be tightened.
In Piccadilly Gardens the other week I started to count them and stopped at 100. And there was me, tired and on my way home from work...HAVING PAID FOR ALL THE FOKKERS.
I wonder if we are on about the same people, type.

It's amazing what you see with open eyes
 
FAO Notch.

Your a deluded feckwit!
This guy was caught only down the road from me, you think they are not doing what is being said about them?

4 months he has been here and was trying to screw an under aged local girl.
Disgusting pervert.

Please correct your misleading selective quote.

I wrote

I did not assert that he did.
 
I suppose every time a newsreader mentioned the IRA during the troubles, they were prosecuted for supporting terrorism.
According to fillystine, motorbiking and koolpc, they were. :rolleyes:

I guess that also according to them The Pope is a supporter of terrorism, as there's a Palestinian flag flying from a building in Vatican City.
 
OMG, thought they had no money...

They will have trouble recruiting people to go up 10 mtre columns on a night. It is not for the faint hearted, also it is ridiculous because as we approach the xmas season we will be hanging the xmas lighting where we will need to remove them anyway.

That’s an example of 1 asylum seeker.

How many people are in the hotel? 600 maybe?

How many sex assaults or intimidation are happening nationwide?


But that's all OK by Notch
I’ve not said anything to indicate that.

I fully accept the argument that any sexual assaults are unacceptable and wouldn’t happen if they weren’t here….but the reality is it doesn’t actually affect 99% of people in any way and it is most certainly is not the most important problem people face.


The only reason people think it’s a major problem is because Farage is using asylum seekers as a common enemy to unite voters against.

You are well and truly blinkered, you probably think labour is doing well in running the country too. You will need a lie down when Nigel get's in power. There will be none of this making excuses and blaming others.

The UK electorate is fundamentally conservative, with a small c.

Ergo, all other things being equal, the cons usually get voted into government.

People want to maintain or improve their standard of living, for no additional cost to themselves.

Given the relatively safe status of their core support, the cons can keep riding the wave of delusion and find "blame" groups to deflect from the reality.
That the UK is in a (un) managed decline, because the electorate doesn't want to pay for what they demand.
That a standard of life costs, and has to be paid for.


Eventually, through voter fatigue / tory corruption and incompetence, Labour get in.

As is their core value, they try to right the ship (invest). Not always perfectly, but that is what they stand for.

Which costs money. Through either tax rises, borrowing, or both.

Tories campaign on "Labour can't be trusted with the country's finances", and get in again.


Rinse and repeat.

Ultimately, there is no magic money tree.
But the answer is not immigrants, "efficiency", much that it satisfies some.

If you want posh meals, you can't expect to pay' Spoons prices forever.
