Can I just ask, why is it that these tricolours were put up.

Putting up Union Flags and bunting at this time of the year in Lurgan is usual and they are taken down after the 12th, but the tricolours at this time of the year are unprecendented.

Dare I say that certain republicans only wanted to provoke a reaction so that they would have an excuse to feel oppressed.... :o

Listen here Tonto, go away and crawl back under that rock that you just came from. The flags are put up at the start of July and they are kept there for 2 months, i know cause i live there and it happens every year.

Who or what gives them scumbags the right to put union flags and bunting in a Nationalist area, and why is it wrong to fly a tricolour when its right to fly the union flag (in your opinion). It has been prooved over the last 2 days that if your colours are red white and blue you can do what you like in Lurgan, you can riot, fly flags, and whatever else tickles your fancy but don't dare try anything if your colour is green or the Peelers will batter you and give the prods the protection they need to take your tricolours down and burn them on the twelfth bonfires.

So tonto my message to you is go F**k yourself
I can swim a little but i can't fly an inch

Which "nationalist area" (although I have yet to hear an area profess an opinion) were these flags and bunting put up?

I was under the impression that it was in the town centre.

Were you "battered"? Or is that just a hint (!!) of mopery.

C'mon everybody, let's defeat these oppressive bastards - "we shall overcome........" :D :D

the fact is th only reason the want to march that area is because catholic bars are in that area if they could they would march through north street and william street like they have done in the past, and if that is not provocation then i don't know what is! 

and if you want to get all diplomatic about things tonto then the orange in the tricolour is to signify the orange order which is what the twelth is all about, the town centre is spilt completely in 2 and any1 from the town knows that from castle lane up is protestant and from castle lane and down is catholic, to avoid confrontation would the best option not to be to keep the marches and flags in the area at the top end of the town?

Why are these so called "gaels" sticking up for the PSNI and orange men here?? Makes no sense at all, what's going on in lurgan the last two nights and probably for the next few as well is an absolute disgrace.

The cops should be ashamed of themselves, scumbags.

supersarsfields

Tonto is it ok to put up flags and bunting or not?

Just because it went on in the past doesn't make it right. There was plenty that went on here in the past that we would be better of forgetting about!!
Are you trying to say that putting up the UJ is ok because it was done in the past, but putting up the tri colour is provotative?

i think to translate tontos words he's a di*k and does not no what he is talkin about  ;D

If the people of an area dont want the flags then the flags shouldnt be up - the OO owns no areas as far as I am aware and as such anything displayed should be at the consensus of the locals.

No just tired of hearing unionists come out with the same predictable lines to excuse orange bigotry.

Orange dogs stink up our streets by pissing their triumphalist rags up every lamppost in sight - and it's the Fenians fault for having the temerity to object.

State police murder innocent Catholics – and it's all the Fenians fault for harbouring terrorists in their community

Unionist paramilitaries murder innocent Catholics – it's only a reaction to violence coming from the Fenians

Etc... etc...

Well here's a dozen people (mostly from North Armagh) who have been murdered over the past decade as a direct result of Orange culture and their stinking displays. On each occasion variations of you 'traditional route' excuse has been rolled out by unionist leaders to excuse the murderers. So don't give me this shite about flags always being put up in Lurgan – this is the price the community has paid for those flags. The Orange Order should hang it's head in shame...

You seem to have trouble distinguishing between the OO, the general Unionist community, Loyalist paramilitaries, kids who put up flegs, the security forces etc etc etc

But sure themmuns are all the same aren't they?  ::)

1. "usual" doesn't make it right.

2. Taken down after the 12th of what month.

3. "unpredecented" - i.e. in your small, wee world.

And you say it was the republicans wanted to 'provoke' a reaction. Your posting is positively neanderthal. This is the 21st century and whilst I'm not in favour of ghettoising any town, I really don't see the point in tying 'your national flag' to any lampost until the wind and rain rips it to shreds 20 months later.

I can distinguish between them all very well Sammy as many would testify. However the problem is that the Orange Order, the UUP and the DUP are very happy to be seen prancing around Lurgan town centre with loyalist paramilitaries and bands – all of whom were given a PSNI escort. Combined they make up a pretty good representation of the "unionist community".
