Iranian Basij/IRGC members have gathered outside the British embassy in Tehran. They are burning the Union Jack and the rainbow flag. They are also holding up signs that say “Free Scotland” and “We Support Irish Unity”

  1. Fuck those people, I don’t give a shit if you support a United Ireland or a “free” Scotland, homophobes can piss right off

  2. They’re about as smart as Unionists putting up flags of Israel simply because nationalists have flags supporting Palestine.

    Reflexively supporting the opposite of something isn’t a smart position, it’s just stupid.

  3. Had to read that title twice to wrap my head around what those people think we’re like. Down with that sort of thing, flag burning and homophobia is cringe.

  4. Why the pride flags? Feels like they came up with one of the plans then shoehorned the other one in

  5. Oh boy, I sure do love political extremists who say they support this and that in the hope of getting people on their side and hoping nobody knows what absolute fuckwads they are.

  6. The arrogance. They can fuck right off. How bloody dare they?! They can keep their misogyny, homophobia, and fanatical doctrines to themselves. We worked to get rid that shite from here and we’re still working in it. We don’t need or want them trying to being it back.

  7. unpopular opinion, scotland did very well under the british empire, they are doing well right now and can literally leave in a referedum. there are some parallels, but in general they don’t have much in common with the irish fight for freedom. I don’t really care about scotland, they can sort themselves out

  8. Cheers for the shout out but we’re all about the gays, lesbians, bi and trans … they have the best parties going on the weekend and we’d be bored shitless without them

  9. They’re burning the union jack now, but give it a couple of weeks when they’re landing in the south of England via dinghy, only too happy to take all that 5 star accommodation, free money, free food, free phone, free bus pass and access to 11 year old kids.

  10. Well they can go support something else if they’re going to he burning pride flags. Fuck that. I don’t want us getting lumped in with raging homophobes.

  11. Just correct me on this but weren’t we one of the first to have an openly gay taoiseach/leader of government and also to one of the first to legalise same sex marriage. This is so strange.
