SWP continue their march of stupidity

It may have escaped the notice of some, but during the past week, the boys from the Cork SWP have called for the 'stars and bars' to be banned from Cork GAA matches.

Given the fact that most socialist have never atteneded a plebian match such as Hurling or Gaelic Football, Cork fans have a tendency to wave red flags to indicate their support of the 'rebel' county. These flags are often plain red, or ferrai, the japanese rising sun or the confederate stars and bars flags.

For the fools in the SWP, this does not mean that the Cork fans have racist sympathies on account of waving the confederate flag, nor does waving the red flag mean their communists or waving the rising sun mean that they support the bombing of pearl harbour. All it means is they support Cork.

This is quite comfortably the stupidest thing the SWP have done in quite a while. Congratulations on reaching a new level of political correctness and stupidity. Truely Trotsky would be proud!
