Flag and National Anthem for a United Ireland

[LooseCannon]

We could always get the UN to create a flag for us.

The anthem should be if you're happy and you know it clap your hands.

The flag already represents the two traditions.

Anthem is fine.

Ireland is supposedly represented on the Union Jack too. Are you okay with that?

No, no I am not.

Why not? Why is it okay for the Irish flag to include everyone in its symbolism but not okay for the Union Jack to do the same?

I don't know why so many of you are +1ing this. Isn't it obvious? The tricolour's symbolism is fine in theory, but it's been draped over so many provo coffins and flown from so many Falls Rd lampposts that it's now damaged goods in the minds of unionists.

The union jack is supposed to be inclusive too with a St Patrick's cross supposedly representing Ireland, but that doesn't seem to endear many of us to the idea of Ireland as part of the UK, does it?

It takes more than flags to unite people. If only it were so easy.

Because we'll f**king tell them what represents them and they'll like it, that's why.

It's literally the same attitude as unionists failing to understand why I might not want to sport a poppy and then turning round and saying "but Irish lads served in WW1 too. It remembers all."

The Royal Standard has a harp on it. We should all be loyal to the queen so.
