Flag

[poliphilo]

How do you decently dispose of an old flag- a national flag, I mean?  I found one in the attic that had been well nibbled by mice and I could have put it in the dustbin- but that seemed disrespectful- so I opted for the bonfire- where it smouldered and stank.

Erm, I am not a police history expert, but the Gardaí were founded as an unarmed force in the 1920s, and although there are of course firearms squads just as there are in UK police forces, I find it hard to match being unarmed with the adjective 'paramilitary'.

Okay; I presume I'm thinking of some other country that has a police force of a similar name. Thank you for the correction.
