    The country's fairly shagged as it is, to be honest all I can do is laugh at this of how fúcked we are. SF would provide a few years of laughter until people start voting for those with sense again.

    Please, prove me wrong, I keep hearing a lot of sensationalist bull****, but nothing to back it up.

    I'm sure the wealthy minority in Ireland won't go running off to other countries with their sacks of euros over a 1% wealth tax.

    Again it says in their policies they want a fairer tax system.
    1 term is More than enough to destroy the country.

    How are we doing now then?

    Dunloy, or Toome are two very nice, strongly republican villages.

    Republic of Ireland jurisdiction.
    Was a major embarrassment to the Gardai and the Irish government at that time.

    I heard Richard Bruton on Matt Cooper last week, that was good.

    I haven't heard Enda on VB at all, some bull****e excuse he uses to avoid the hard questions.

    And it is bull****e before anyone starts about suicide victims.
    Vinny was being metaphorical that time.

    Anyhoo, SF are a great opposition party. If nothing else, they divide opinion and that's healthy in a democracy imo. Interestingly enough, they're the only opposition party to have put forward alternative budgets over the last few years. Even in 2010, when FF were selling us all down the river, while FG and Labor only huffed & puffed from the sidelines, SF were the only ones to be bothered with coming up with what they seen as an alternative to where we were headed.

    Hell, which other party has successfully fought against a governments refusal to exercise proper democratic process?

    SF in opposition today, are in my view more effective than FG ever were during the reign of FF. And it has nothing to do with policies or pasts, if they had somewhat better policies and a perfect history they wouldn't be the main opposition party.. they'd be an incarnation of the Green Party.

    Seems that SF consider anyone not on the dole to be elite.

    Q.

    Bombed in the south by whom?

    If your suggesting Sinn Fein bombed him, as in the political party did, that's on par with me making the comparison that he shot the civilians in Derry :rolleyes:

    May I also remind you that if it were not for Mountbattens relatives, and Govt's occupation of our country his death would not have occurred.

    I don't condone his death btw, very much the opposite. Merely pointing out that people from both sides, directly involved in the troubles or not, got caught up in a war that only one side instigated.

    Try living as a second class citizen, in a county that you could trace your relatives back for hundreds of years before you start sprouting your anti republican chants.

    It seems a lot like you would sit back and do nothing if your home country was illegally occupied?

    Some of us have the balls/had the balls to stand up and fight though.

    Because all they seem to give a shìt about are the "vulnerable". eg council estate residents, people on the dole etc.
