This is just dribble designed to draw attention away from the shame of the Alliance Party. Sinn Fein would never have pushed the flag issue in the council chamber if it hadn't received the nod and wink in advance from the Alliance councillors. There are undoubtedly closet republicans amongst the Alliance councillors who have been manipulating the rest of them.

This is a totally unoriginal and totally unimaginative piece of obfuscation. No conflict has ever been resolved by papering over cracks. It doesn't get close to addressing the issue at hand.

Ask the same question in Dublin. Suggest that their government buildings have all the flags including the Union Jack. Only then will you realize that you have totally missed the point with your suggestion.

This article and the follow on commentaries looks very much to me like the Alliance Party bleather forecast.

I should have added that an Alliance supporter called me a sectarian thug for my postings. That just goes to show what an arrogant crowd they are. You object to the removal of your national flag from the City Hall and an Alliance person calls you a sectarian thug. That's the kind of intolerance that underlies the Alliance Party's deceptive image.

The worst thing about it is all the lies, and the fact that the Alliance Party are too arrogant to see that it is all their fault. They are an unbelievably arrogant bunch of people. They came on the TV, and they wagged their fingers at us, and they told us not to protest. Their actions have affected people well beyond the Belfast Council area. They have upset large numbers of people on the outskirts of East Belfast in places like Belvoir, Cregagh, Gilnahirk, Tullycarnett etc. These people have a right to be angry too, despite what the Alliance Party says, because these people are to all intents and purposes Belfast people even though they don't get to vote for the Belfast City Council. And why not? Why do we need to have a Castlereagh council in the first place?

The Unionist Party would be well advised not to use a candidate who states that he hasn't ruled out joining the Alliance Party. The Alliance Party consist mainly of unprincipled nobodies who support every cheap fad of the moment. They invited 100 gypsies to come all the way from Romania to squat. The Alliance Party also gave a Pyrrhic victory to the republicans by helping them to have the Union Jack removed from the City Hall, and then they came on TV and they wagged their fingers at us and told us that we have no right to protest. They exposed the totalitarian streak which is so characteristic of the liberal left. And indeed Basil McCrea has already said that he supports the decision to remove the British flag.

Steven, You are one of the many well meaning Protestants who wants everybody, Catholic and Protestant alike, to live together in peace an harmony, and who knows that British rule is no impediment to that end. And you further know that most Catholics are not offended by either British rule or the British flag. And you further know that the slogan 'shared future' is one big lie when it is being used as a reason for taking down the British flag at the City Hall. You know that the Union Flag at the City Hall was never an impediment to Catholics and Protestants living together in harmony. And you know that when it was taken down, the lowering of it would have been greated as a great triumph by the very people who did this in Newry. The reason why many other Protestants who think very similarly to yourself, but not quite the same, vote for the Unionists is because they knew years ago that the Alliance Party would sell out on the flag at the first opportunity.

There is an incredible presumptuousness and arrogance about this headline which actually appeared on the paper copy on Friday. It's obviously the Belfast Telegraph advertising for the Alliance Party, but they have done so in a manner that is so unsubtle that it is dirt cheap. I certainly do note vote for the Alliance Party, and that fact alone makes the headline a lie. I am actually appalled at what the Alliance Party have just done. There are people rioting on the streets because of the insensitive actions of the Alliance Party, and the Alliance Party are too arrogant to realize that they lit the spark. And they come on the TV, and they wag their fingers at us, and they tell us that we have no right to protest.

Basil McCrea has got it completely wrong. It's irrelevant what goes on in other council areas in England. The issue here was simply that Sinn Fein and the SDLP wanted to get one over on the Unionists by ending an age old tradition of flying the Union Jack on top of the City Hall all the time. The Alliance Party, who should have known better, gave the republicans a victory on a plate and hence delivered a bloody nose to the entire Protestant population of Northern Ireland. Basil McCrea's thinking on the matter was too theoretical, and it failed to take into consideration the SDLP and Sinn Fein's motives. But Basil McCrea's even bigger mistake was opening his mouth and telling everybody what he was thinking. That created a weakness in the Unionist front which would inevitably be exploited by the forces of alliancism and republicanism.
Basil McCrea "Never tell anybody what you are thinking! You let the side down very badly indeed at a time of crisis. You could never be trusted to lead the Unionist people"
