Northern Ireland flag protests

Basically the unionists used under handed tactics to get the Union flag taken down from the government building and to only fly on certain days.

The problem?

The flag has flown for around 300 years every day and the Nationalists who had the majority seats wanted to take it down completely. Fortunately that needs an unanimous vote so the compromise was to have the flag flown on special days.

This has sparked Loyalist protests to get the flag back flying again, should the demands be met or should the loyalists just shut up and go home?

Recon Number 54 -
If they are still looking, then while holding the snarl, I let drool start to drip from my mouth, I stand, curl my fingers into claws and with a hunched over crouch, I then make slow and deliberate steps towards them. When I get close enough, I let them hear my agonized and gasping growls and then, if they continue to stare, when I get within arm's reach? I kiss them on the nose, and run away giggling.

The flag should always be flying there.

Bloody secessionists.
