LIDL, making a political point? whats the story?

NI may be a legitimate place, but the Ulster Banner has no status.

thats a fact.  the tricolor is however a real flag. the zwastika was also a real symbol  before it was hyjacked by hitler and his crowd. hence the zwastika laundries in dublin

Comparing the Ulster banner to the swastika again betrays your own prejudice and ignorance.

Both the Ulster Banner and the Swastika were flags formerly officially used by unpleasant ethnic regimes and still used by extremist political factions. The difference is that Germans, by and large, have reflected on their past and learnt from it, something others could usefully do.

Comparing Ulster unionists with Nazis is like comparing Joey Barton with the Yorkshire Ripper. Catch a grip.

Ah yes, the frequent unionist proposition that we aren't the worst so that makes it OK, hence the frequent use of terms like MOPE to deflect criticism.
The unionist project is of similar character to that of the Nazis, although I fully accept that the Nazis were several orders of magnitude worse.
But the Nazis being worse doesn't make it right.

You still haven't got it. The Nazis weren't 'several orders of magnitude worse' than unionists any more than the Yorkshire Ripper could be said to be several orders of magnitude worse than Joey Barton. The comparison is invalid full stop. Compare unionists to some similar right wing governments if you want - look down south in the De valera era for an example if you're stuck - but comparing them to  the Nazis says more about your prejudices than it does about unionists.

The unionist project is to invade their neighbours and turn them into "hewers of wood and drawers of water".
Not so different from the Nazis, but less severe as I said.

Which neighbours have northern unionists invaded recently? By recently I mean sometime in the last 100 years or so. Okay then, the last 200 years. Take your time...

Lidl in the 26 are now cheaper for most things than lidl in the 6!  Kind of blows tescos arguement about it being more expensive to do business in the south out of the water. Truth is they were just ripping. Mexicans out of it. Fair play to lidl

Competition has improved generally in the 26. But the main reason is that 26 county Lidl are head to head with Aldi.

Great altogether http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL7jyXCQ2Zc

Are aldi in the 6 already? I honesty wouldnt have a clue. Dont think ive saw any

Aldi is not in the North. There is good value there on the basic shopping items and they keep the others honest. In the 26, Tesco an Dunnes have all these vouchers back and so on to try and stay competitive. Someone paying attention could reduce their bill by 10-20% easily enough.
