That is completely true, and it is not a threat when people know who has put the flags up. We hear time and time again from businesses at the Inns Cross, in Finaghy and on the Lisburn Road that the issue is not national identity or the flag itself but that, so often, they do not know who has put the flags up and what their motive is. That lack of transparency is the key issue.
