Do you really think the fool did not know what he was doing, it's like the silly flags he keeps arriving with supporting various causes in some silly political stance, I assume it's not the party's view, but maybe as they are anti flag, it his way of taking the pïss out of them.
To be fair to Mike (really???) He flies all manner of flags 52 weeks of the year* - very occasionally they coincide with some international news story (eg Catalan crisis). He also does Brennan flyers - other than this week the terminology goes unremarked upon.
* not literally 52 weeks, but more than designated days.
BR, good points, and well made. What next ? Will someone will find my face paint in bad taste? Will I be told to remove my Onesie? Where will it all end? Its only a game and some folk (very few I should add) have a tendency to take it all far too seriously.

Do try to wipe them from your memory ...
FFFS Grumps, there are some things in life so horrible that once seen they cannot be unseen, burnt into your brain for the remainder of your mortal.
For as much as it matters - more or less not at all - I'm entirely with BR, poor effort on Armistice Day Mike........................ya dickhead........ the rest of the year, fill yer boots.
Possibly a little precious but ............... there you go.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Amongst the finest "mass offence" involving Cafflicks and others was a drunken midnight mass on Christmas Eve in Stroke City when the collaredbastard was doing the bit where the Romans respond (possibly called the responses), said Collar asks "do you renounce Satan and all his works?" some boyo full of unholy spirit shouts with vigor, "I DO........ THE BAST'ARD", well fu'ck Sadie we nearly choked laughing & headed out in search of more swally.
