Unionist Leader Tom Elliott: "Scum of Sinn Fein"

Loyalist Tom Elliot Leader of UUP calls Sinn Fein "scum" and calls the Irish tricolour "the flag of a foreign nation". Gerry Kelly of Sinn Fein then tells him his point of view.

[@georgebrowne5935]

When Unionists open their Mouth about Ireland being "foreign ", they lose all sympathy and respect around the World.

[@glenatkinson7732]

I think Mr Elliott needs to be reminded that the Saltire of Scotland is a "foreign fleg". He wants the province to "move on" as long as it moves back to the "good auld days" when his supremacy was little challenged.

[@MrYorickJenkins]

In what way is the Cross of st Andrew's a "foreign flag" to people who identify with Scotland? The Irish Protestants are more closely associeted with Scotland than with Eire so whether the saltire is "foreign" is presumably a matter of perspective.

brendan w Loyalists have a new foe - anyone who isn't white living in the North. They're even willing to unite with their hated Catholic Nationalist enemies to combat this threat. You would think that considering the fools they've made of themselves across the World with their sectarian shite they might have learned something but apparently not. The fact that Peter Robinson actually publicly supported pastor James McConnell's Islamophobic remarks last year was insane. In any other country in the World that would have been political suicide but it seems the World has just accepted that Loyalist's are nutjobs. I swear to Christ, you couldn't make this stuff up.

With such reasoning someone born in Cornwall who has a Cornish accent cannot claim to be British! The very act of claiming to be a British citizen is a rejection of a political event, namely the independence of the Republic. A Cornishman calling himself British is imnpliicty accepting the ending of the Cornish nation. Such is history and the march of time.
