No. I will try to finish my contribution. I disagree slightly with Mr Gaston. This is not just about paramilitary flags. I take great exception to seeing the Union flag flying tattered from a lamp post. I would like to see such flags being removed much more swiftly, and even other flags. I will not say that I take offence at certain football flags, but, as a Coleraine fan, I probably do.
