Letter: Fabulous Northern Ireland spectacle on display at Commonwealth Games opening ceremony
A letter from Alan S Carson:
What I enjoyed most, about the Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony was that fabulous fusion of fiddles, flutes and bagpipes followed by our athletes proudly marching behind the flag of Northern Ireland.
The Ulster Banner.
I am less enthused, however, about funds being sought from the Irish government.
Because, at the same time unionist politicians are highlighting the erosion of our constitutional integrity, this development will be used against us in the event of an increasingly inevitable future border poll.
Secondly, the King of the North continues to impress this pro-Union campaigner with his genuine attempt to help ordinary people get though an unprecedented cost of living crisis.
Less so Gary Lineker.
Because, although he means well, disproportionately taxing wealth-creating, ideas-driven, job-creating millionaires will encourage them to relocate and take their entrepreneurial skills elsewhere.
And, finally, we urgently need to remove those silly ‘stop mass uncontrolled illegal immigration’ flags from pro-Union communities because we don't have mass uncontrolled illegal migration over here.
Alan S Carson, Castlereagh
