Belfast is in NIreland and, as such, is British territory. The leftist numbnuts have deemed flying the correct flag as a provocation.
I understand and support the anger, even if I dont support the violence. The justifiably angry rioters have played into the hands of those who would call them bigoted bullyboy Unionist thugs. Peaceful demonstrations would have worked.
I don’t support the violence either, but I can understand the frustration of those who have to deal with Orwellian leftists and their charades.
