Republicans ignore the law and think they can do what they want

Once again we have republicans taking the law into their own hands with putting up illegal street signs named after IRA terrorists.

As a Protestant I am sickened by these people once again doing what they do best by ignoring the law and its procedures and thinking they can do what they want.

Many years back we had the flag of our country removed because it was offensive to the nationalists/republicans who don’t see themselves or Northern Ireland as British, but it is.

Why should we be subjected to the daily insults and threats from these people who have no political agenda but only to take our rights as British/unionists/Protestant away from us?

It’s got to stop.

I want to know what unionist politicians are going to do about this and what action the police are going to take to have these signs (illegal street names) removed immediately.

If this is the way these republicans want it then play fire with fire. I want to see our flag above the City Hall again.

I have written to unionist politicians and look forward to hearing what positive will be taken by their offices asap.

James McShane, Comber
