Or the promoter.

All of which is on a very basic communication issue excluding external communication to the rest of us.

The communication between the rest of them saying, Jesus, as we're having Macklemore on, is he going to say the free Palestine stuff again?

So on a basic level, they made a gross error in that.

I think what we're now seeing is Macklemore developing for himself, and I don't believe he is doing it for this reason, but a legacy of somebody who is actually making a tangible contribution to bettering the lives of people in Gaza.

or a new flag or how are we going to integrate health or how are we going to integrate our policing or how are we going to integrate our courts or how are we going to navigate tax?

How are we going to get the health system going?

All of these are questions that I think are right for us to do because as we saw with Brexit, when you haven't figured out the nitty gritty, you end up with some half-baked thing that nobody understands what it's going to be.

And in talking about the flag, like back in 2012, 2013, the loyalists had serious protests in relation to flags coming down from Belfast City Hall.

And so their flag is really important to them.

So there's a level of sensitivity that will need to go with this.

It was shocking.

I remember I was about 14 or 15 when it was going on and how...
