You implied that those you don't share your feelings are a bunch of West Brits, I don't appreciate that.
My dad was a Limerick man, and he was VERY pro-unity, and we had to listen to him constantly spewing hate about the English cos he grew up in the 40's. He'd have friends from the North round the house and they would bang on endlessly, and make gun-hands at the TV when English people would come on. Then they would tune in and cheer watching English football, it was all so dumb.
I get that you don't wanna be called British, but you might wanna be mindful about throwing it around at other people. My indifference to UI doesn't negate your existence and it doesn't mean I'm opposed, I just don't see why it should affect my life in any way anymore.
Who needs a new flag, you obviously haven’t spent much time in the north of the country, the tricolour is flying higher up there than it is in the south, it definitely has as much respect in nationalist areas as anywhere else, one thing the unionists def don’t need is another flag, UVF, Union Jack and now the Israeli hanging in tatters on every flag pole 🙄
Oh and yeah just to reinforce the point…
Fuck Irelands call 👍

You are correct, I have spent very little time up in the north of the country and I always felt that people up there had to fight so hard to hold on to their identity. By fight I don't mean physical fighting. If you look back on Tony Scullion who was on TNaG last Thursday night it will give everyone a taste of what it must have been like to grow up in Derry. As I said in my first post on this topic I would feel guilty having a vote in a referendum because the North and it's troubles never once affected me or my family in my everyday life. Let's see how this new Stormont assembly get on in the next few years
OK this thread has been derailed and trolled to oblivion
Closing it
