Quasi-flag skirmish

It is not only the politicians pushing the flag wars, a Boots customer complaint led to the withdrawal of Union flag style t-shirts from its main Belfast store.  Staff involved in a Dunhill promotion had been wearing the t-shirt. It was in the design of a UK flag but with grey instead of red bands.

  1. The new Irish tourist shop “Carrolls” recently opened in Belfast city center. They have green, white and orange everywhere(no sign of unionist colours or symbols). There could be an argument that Irish tourist shops are sectarian.

  2. I think that awful rock combo, The Who, should be barred from these islands.  Imagine wearing Union Jackets….and all those r/w/b target t-shirts.

    Unforgiveable.  Even if they did put on a f**kin’ EXCELLENT show in Marlay Park last year….  :-D

    Never fear Raven, Roger Daltrey is well versed in Irish traditional music.

  4. Why are there no mods in Belfast?

    Would you go around wearing a trarget on your back?
