Might have been taken down now, but I'm sure I can recall one from when I was there to see Aberdeen a few years ago. I remember thinking that was very strange. I'm quite sure that the filling station on the royal mile in Edinburgh has, or used to have a confederate flag on the wall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it was any sort of statement, just a piece of memorabilia. They had a Texas flag and, I think, a California flag, plus loads of other 'Americana' memorabilia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a Texas flag and, I think, a California flag, plus loads of other 'Americana' memorabilia. Ah, right; I couldn't recall the name of the place. I didn't go across to check it out. Always a risk that people get the wrong impression if you have a Confederate flag in your window, I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 So it takes three days for Trump to speak out for the people of Charlottesville (and which he rescinded within 24 hours) but twenty minutes to condemn the Barcelona attacks. I wonder why? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugster Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I notice that the BBC news ticker is saying PM May condemns the attack, Chancellor Merkel says the German people stand with Barcelona and US President states they will do anything to help. Is this a deliberate plot not to use Trumps name now from them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the Confederate battle flag was banned by Amazon for being racist, why wasn't the uk union flag banned for the same reason, the national front or whatever they are called today still use it. Is this satire? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until very recently, I thought Trump was merely out of his depth. I now fear he's a malevolent force who knows exactly what he's doing.

Shame the "Gringo - Green grow the rushes O" myth isn't true, "gringo" was first recorded 50 years before the Alamo, in Spain, and as general term for foreigners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I would have hoped the poll results would be more damning but maybe that's unrealistic. I'd like to know the thought process of these 10% Democrats though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Was that poll restricted to Fox News employees? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
