   Would the “madness” exemption also cover candidates?

   DC- thanks for that

   But you (correct me if I am wrong) almost seem to recognise that as regards equality in two flags etc its almost inevitable- in Belfast at least. If that’s the case why not strike now for the best “deal” you can, agreed flag or whatever?

   Why sit Canute style huffing and puffing now waiting for possibly sooner than you think there ending up only 1 flag over City Hall and not a British one?

   DC please take this in the spirit it’s meant. You are as far as I can make out the polar opposite of my own position but seem no mug and up for debate

   Now that we are in a situ where more or less the population is heading towards 50/50 (wouldn’t get too wound up by surveys etc as they dont reflect what people actually don’t the ballot box) why would you not accept both flags or even an agreed flag?

   Bangordub

   1 I was really only talking about the very recent “ad hoc” items

   2 you are of course entirely correct. I lack your more effective way with words.

   DC what about any Unionist councils making a gesture of allowing a Fenian a top post?

   As regards Nationalists gestures they backed your police force, met your queen etc etc. in other words a hell of a lot more than unionists who as I say still wont even countenance rotation of council posts.

   Lol

   You don’t seem able to get by the fact that when push comes to shove Unionist councils basically don’t want a Fenian about the place- token or otherwise.

   I understand that’s how it always was for them and its hard to break old habits, but sadly for them that ship has sailed and be it bigoted councils or “fleg” types the messages the same- things ain’t going back, get used to it.

   Reader- And to follow that line of thinking through you agree that Unionist controlled ones are so bigoted they won’t even allow Nationalists those same powerless posts- they can’t even stomach token Fenians?

    Reader- my point is Unionists cannot even match up to their Nationalist counterparts when it comes to sharing out posts, admittedly, in relatively powerless councils. Why?

    I mean take a place like Lisburn- never, ever a Nationalist in any top council position. Total supremacist bigotry- don’t have a Fenian about the place mentality. Are you seriously saying that type of council should end up with serious power?????
