this is happening in my town..sinn fien the political wing of the ira or councilors in my local council and have so far had all embalms and links to Britain removed from the council offices and the last thing in there that is British linked is the portrait of the queen given to the council when it opened .... its all done under the guise of people feeling uncomfortable working in a building that has a picture of the queen in the mayors office...
