I am not trying to be antagonistic. There is complete condemnation of the Billy Wright flags. I condemn them. They should be taken down. No victim or anyone else should have to walk beneath the flag of a convicted terrorist. Does the Member agree, however, that all flags and emblems with references to IRA terrorists should also be taken down?
