Public transport is expensive Cherie . And if they walk all that way they'll be too tired to smash up Wetherspoons.

I wonder how well attended they will be now (a) they have given the locations they are attacking...I mean demonstrating in, I would expect a big police presence unless is a red herring and (b) now prison sentences are being handed down

I don't think it necessarily means anything but it would definitely make me question what message is being sent.

If I see a Union Jack on a Scottish house I immediately think it's a Unionist message. If I see a Saltire I assume it's a pro-indy statement. When I see a Union Jack in England... pre-2017 I'd have assumed just a Royalist type, post 2017 I unfortunately automatically go to Brexiteer.

Sometimes those assumptions will be wrong but human beings are pattern-seekers. It'll often be correct.
I think anywhere outside of the US flying your country's flag in or on your home is a bit odd while still in that country (unless it's for some occasion) Here in Ireland you'd be much more likely to see county flags hung from houses as more of a GAA thing

Perhaps it gives a sense of home when flying the flag abroad.

The Muslim households dont just fly normal flags, they go full on tapestry mode, some really elaborate designing on them. I always asked which country is it, and was always met with a friendly reply.

We have an Irish flag from when Luke was in a Karate competition a few years ago and there were a few different countries competing, we never hung it at home anywhere though

I have Union Jack bunting, metres of it.
Intended to put it up in the kitchen but it’s still in the wrapper.
Also had/have some cushions with it on as well.

Derek Drummond should have got 20 years. Him and anyone else who assault the police and frighten the public, smash and burn property.
