Good job you do not live in BI.If the Union Flag is flown at a persons work place, they can object to the flag being flown as it is seen as been intimidatory and it must be removed, The coins and notes in their pocket do not have the same effect. So it causes problems alround. bad relations instead of good. Here is a situation a leading republican in N.Ireland sits in our new parliament. he wants the Union flag removed from all government buildings as it is offensive to him and yes he is allowed to object. he worked for many years in the British Merchant Navy,hoisted the Red Ensign was a member of a British trade union in fact a stalwart of the NUS in Belfast and carried a British Seamans Card it was never offensive to him then,it now is. Thousands of jobs going to the far east and the country overun with immigrants,with Belfast becoming the begging capital of the world and their knife culture as well as drunk driving and no insurance,some of our politicians are worried about be offended by a flag. The mind boggles. David
