The British and it's Army has not always covered itself in glory in Ireland - understatement - so nationalists simply don't wear them. In the bonkers environment of Northern Ireland, all symbols are noted and mark you out as to your allegiance. -----Mensaje original----- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] En nombre de [EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: martes, 06 de noviembre de 2007 12:09 Para: Matt Anderson CC: thecasses; LUList; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: Re: [LU] NON LU - 2K Terrorists > However I went to a college in belfast a few years back and was told > to remove my poppy otherwise I risked "upsetting" the catholics.
