You don't seem to have cottoned on to the fact that Ulster is British, and that's what all the trouble is about because a section of the Community thinks it is Irish, because Ireland is an ISLAND. I don't know if the BNP are flying this flag for that reason, but the Red Hand of Ulster is the symbol of Irish Protestantism. "Ulster - a former Kingdom in Northern Ireland annexed by England in 1461 From Jacobean times, a centre of English, and later Scottish, settlement on land confiscated from its owners. Divided 1921 into Northern Ireland (Counties Atrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, and Londonderry (now Derry) and Tyrone) and the Republic of Ireland (Counties Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan)." from Hutchinson's Encyclopaedia 2001 > I looked at the BNP web site yesterday and all I saw was the flag with the > red hand.
