#p4cflags SDLP's @ClaireHanna isn't personally thrilled by any national symbols; says SDLP hasn't used the flag in its campaigning.- #p4cflags @ClaireHanna says it isn't sectarian to be loyalist or nationalists, in the same way being Welsh isn't racist.
- #p4cflags @clairehanna says flags hadn't been raised on the door when canvassing; but it was in SF manifesto, so fair play for them to raise
Oi @alaninbelfast ! I didn't say 'Fair Play', I made the point that they or any other party is entitled to democratically pursue any policy!- #p4cflags @clairehanna says she voted for no flag (SDLP policy) in council committee knowing she'd back designated days at full council
- #p4cflags @StevenAgnew (Green Party NI) now speaking. Regrets he has to be here talking about flags instead of the economy or environment.
- #p4cflags @StevenAgnew says Green Party values identity and cultural diversity as much as biodiversity
"If I don't see flags of any colour, it won't be soon enough... I don't like flags of any colour" — @ClaireHanna #p4cflags
