Removal of British Flag in Belfast

[Red]

well, not everyone from the north considers themselves british, so it's only fair.

I really don't give two tosses. As long as Northern Ireland is a member of the uk, it should be flown.
Disgraceful. Makes me so angry. Shame on Alliance party ;/

Ino right everyone is like aww it shouldn't be flown on Irish soil I'm like **** OMG we are UK now grow a set

i hate that blond tramp from Sinn Fein Jo was blaming the police for the riots and sayin they wernt prepared and more should have been done. I'm like you tramp I dare you to walk out and try and stop the riot people got hurt all because they wanted a flag which did no harm and no one had said anything about down, sickens me tht try are doin that

I don't see why, if some don't consider themselves British why are they living on British soil? It's a flag to be flown on a British country which it was. If it's been up decades why on Earth wasn't it taken down sooner if people didn't agree. It should be returned and for those who don't agree it's more of a like it or lump it decision surely?

I find this stupid. It's part of the UK so the flag should be flown.

Exactly why is a capital city in the UK not allowed to fly it's own flag. Grrrr needa do some more protesting yay I need glopys help he was a true pro

Its not just a flag it shows people that we are part of Britain and it also stands for our fallen soldiers that have died for the country and now we are only allowed it up for 5% of the year which is total bull instead of focusing on other things they decided this target the flag which has been up for decades which is a disgrace to remove it. It's as if they are looking to bring bak the troubles again which no one wants to happen. People are starting to turn it into a nationalists vs unionists thing which is proper mental -.-

That's why I'm saying it's more of a symbolic thing than anything!

If I want to wave an Irish flag in Britain, it should be allowed. If the British want to wave the British flag in the republic of Ireland it should be allowed. It's a flag for god sake. What makes it more ridiculous is IT IS IN BRITAIN. I mean as poor and as stupid as our government are I am proud to be Irish but in all honesty I thought we were past the stage of STOP HANGING THIS FLAG IT HURTS MY FEELINGS IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, no mind their own.

What flu have found is that there are so many Irish and catholic people who are saying that the flag should be kept up as it's only a flag to them and that it should be kept because of the unionists feel so strongly about, its just like right who actually thinks it was a smart decision to take the flag down since no one gave a toes about it before it was just flying looking lovely now there's just a random pole sticking out of the building

[Niall!]

They're rioting down the road. First the *******s wreck the beer tent now they stop me from going to a pub?

I don't care about the flag business, all religion is pointless and stupid.

I'm personally delighted the Unionists are out on the streets (as long as it remains peaceful) concerning this decision, indeed maybe if more of us protested on the streets then we wouldn't have had to endure mass immigration, the European Union, high taxation, the destruction of civil liberties, pointless and costly wars and so on and so forth.

I also saw that US Secretary of State Hiliary Clinton arrived in Belfast today, representing the nation who helped fund the IRA and actively pushed for a surrender to the IRA yet claim to fight a 'war on terror' - a woman who also comes from a country where peaceful protesters are hit over the head in the streets... yet she has the nerve to call for calm.

It's all like a very bad Carry On film concerning US foreign policy and I don't see why we take anything they say on this with any moral standing.
