Queen would not approve of flag action

FROM Anonymous

These protestors say they’re standing up for their Britishness and their desire to stay under the Queen? How would the Queen they claim to love and adore approve of the police officers being injured, traffic chaos and so many businesses being affected?

She showed forgiveness earlier this year when she shook hands with Martin McGuinness even though her own cousin was murdered by the IRA, how many of these protesters would do that? Very few I suspect, yet they claim their ‘loyalty’ to the Queen.

The Union flag is flown only on designated days over Buckingham Palace and Houses of Parliament, yet there’s no uproar. What does that say about this country? How many of these protesters have actually walked past the city hall in Belfast, stopped and noticed the Union flag flying or even these kids that are out protesting, have they ever saw it flying? I doubt it.

These protesters don’t even know the God they sing about in their national anthem. Driving up town as the protest was gathering I saw a boy so small that the flag he was waving was bigger than him....that’s your future! I’m neither a Protestant nor a Catholic but am saddened by what I see. Move on, grow up and wise up.
