Because he's not a farmer. And it's not a stupid idea. It's brilliant.

"Northern Ireland was created to address the deep political and religious divisions on the island of Ireland, primarily to protect the Protestant-majority community in the northeast that wished to remain part of the United Kingdom. The partition of Ireland in 1921 was intended as a compromise to balance the demands of Irish nationalists seeking independence with the concerns of unionists loyal to the British Crown."
They got their independence, but just like Hamas, it wasn't acceptable. Vile and as oppressive to the people that voted against it as you consider British rule to have been. If you are Northern Irish catholic then you could've just moved.
It wasn't a referendum JAT

what ? like away from a place your family lived for thousands of years ? you sound like Mountbatten doing the genocidal bodge of Partitioning India/Pakistan.
sounds like the 400 AD Anglo-Saxons calling the Celtic Britons 'foreigners'. "why dont those Celts all just go back to where they came from"
anyway...........flags.

many eventually did. They got burned out of their houses by Loyalist fanatics in 1969.

Then accept that you lost a vote to a majority instead of turning lives upsidedown for decades

Meanwhile, flags are distracting for motorists, but replacing them with signs of love aren't

Signs of kindness put up along Nottingham road in place of flags - BBC News
It is not clear who put up the signs, which have appeared on lamp-posts along a road in Nottingham.

Just like anything these days, there are acceptable left wing flags and unacceptable right wing flags. They could even be the same flag it's got that absurd. Watch for the left wing George Flag with a heart in the middle. I'll give it about a week.Meanwhile, flags are distracting for motorists, but replacing them with signs of love aren't

Prior ? a ton of War-crimes, colonisation, genocide, and invasion ....is that the Prior you mean ? or is it the Apartheid society ? two tier is not only a recent phenomenon.
anyway..........Flags.
here is a nice colourful UVF one for yourself Spindle. Its the same as the IRA, two cheeks of the same murderous Sectarian arse. Happily most people in N.I. have turned their back on fanatical nutters.
"he started it, he is the nasty fv.cker , not me" is a mantra you also hear at the school playground and in Israel/Palestine.

True. We now have politicians pulling down the Union Jack. Down off of every lamp-post. And a day later ? the same politicians are standing at the Cenotaph. Paying their respects to the Union Jack.
Politics has turned into a Monty Python.

If some people associate the Flag of St George or the Union Jack with right wing extremism then it is the fault of the left.
Our flags should represent our country, we do not all think the same so I do not expect that a person on the left holds values about this country that are the same as mine, and that is fine.
The left however abandoned our flags to the so called extreme right and now demonise it. What they should have done is waved those same flags at their rallies and demos with pride and told the rest of us what those core value are for them.
After all they love the EU flag and that is made of of some historically god awful countries.
