PSNI Removes Paramilitary Flags
The PSNI have begun removing paramilitary flags from town centres and main roads in Ireland's north. The move is part of a new initiative by the PSNI, the North's Housing Executive and other bodies to clear such paraphernalia from the streets.
I welcome these moves. Flags are often treated like rags in Ireland's north. I especially don't like to see the Irish flag get desecrated by republicans who are intent on using it as a tool for promoting sectarianism. That's not what the flag is about.
