- they bring a uniform which is immediately identifiable, along with a number which is (supposed to be visible at all times) but lately even
that's become increasingly invisible. The new cops uniforms are fucking ridiculous by the way. What scumbag knacker decided the coppers should be wearing what look like track-suits? Female cops arses on display? Are those uniforms also supposed to be worn during the winter months?
Protestors carrying the flag can serve dual purposes: one is to wave it around and generate some good old national pride, while the other might be poking a copper's eye out with it, or cracking him/her around the head as they themselves seem to enjoy doing to the protestors - even old men and women passing by are getting clattered, sprayed, moved on, names taken, etc. while out on their daily errands like collecting the pension, heading down to the bookies, out for a walk, or even just rubbernecking the goings-on.
There are not good optics for Ireland's reputation abroad: the land of a thousand welcomes is currently regarded as afire with the rage of a thousand arsonists and other violent reactionaries. It seems that ever since Irish people got it into their heads that gathering and demonstrating whatever issues of the day is actually quite fun, they'll currently show up to the opening of an envelope with Mick McPallet's and Paddy McSpud's court appearance details, along with their full name, address, occupation, status (single/father) and future options for life in Ireland after they've been dragged through the bush backwards and shamed in front of the entire population.
(1) Why can't a man design his own flag? You seem as confused as most Irish people are regarding the purpose of a flag. The taboo of waving the green, white and orange is tainted with the blood of so many Irish people across the centuries in our endless struggle with our nearest neighbours. It's fucking ridiculous.
About ten minutes walk from here, there's a site which houses around two hundred small private mökkit: it's within the city limits, has no access to sea or lakes, but is very popular during the summer months when the people who own them lock up their regular house and they go to their mökkit to do all the same stuff Finns do in the mökkit up north into the wilds. They all have flag poles erected in their gardens. They're shorter poles than the ones above our front doors in the block, and the flag type is a long slender flag that's one fifth the size of a regular national flag.
These are very common in privately owned gardens and mökkit.
They're raised at sunrise and they come down at dusk.
The ceremony can be seen all across the area housing the mökkit, everyone does it at the same time and you can often hear the national anthem being played if you happen to be walking past. The overhead view of Vallilan Siirtolapuutarha:

(2) So when a guy goes into a sports shop and picks his national jersey and has his own name on it rather than that of his sports heroes in his national team, that makes him an '
individualistic nihilist' now? That's quite a fucking leap in the dark, Jimmy.
You clearly haven't thought this through - but sure that's just the way you are, permanently angry about something, something, Ma, something.
Kids might get a jersey ready made with Ronaldo or George Best's name on, but adults might prefer their own.
You need to get out a bit more often. I can put you in contact with a committee member of Vallilan Siirtolapuutarha if you like: maybe you can rent one for a week? No electricity (not you), no flowing water, no TV, and only outdoor cooking, tending the gardens and herbs and so on, and generally making sure the flag goes up when it should and down when it's time.
Or you could just stay at home with your Manchester City football jersey on with Liam Gallagher's name printed in a brightly coloured script.

I wasn't talking about cops
.. Oh yeah - mediocre vocabulary and passable written English (into thinking that you're not stupid)
