    Yes that Sinn Féin. Christ dude take a chill pill. I love the way you see encouraging FDI as a bad thing btw.

    Im not male so Im not a dude. Provisional Sinn Fein are part and parcel of the Imperialism that has made a total mess of my part of Ireland. The sooner they are exposed and destroyed the better. I admit I hate them more than I do the DUP or Fine Gael because they pose as something they are not.

    Ah so didnt join the IRA to fight for the Republic and national liberation? They fought for equality with the prods under the old colonial system?

    Great lads- pity that Brendan Hughes saw things differently.

    And that try to mess around mess around- if they accept the GFA that whats it about, getting equal or getting one over the prods, little better than the fleg protesters.

    I note that you 'edited' that post. It still doesn't make any sense.

    It makes perfect sense.

    Those who support the GFA admit they were fighting for equality with the Prods under the colonial system and that is what is the long war was about them.

    If you support the GFA basically you are sectarian.

    You know that and I know that.

    The actual non-sectarian Republicans have abandoned PSF long ago.

    the republic and national liberation are always objectives but what drove people to war was what was facing them every day and that was secterianism and apartheid.

    Brendan Hughes has his own opinions on things, a lot of others disagree with him.

    Sinn Fein that encourage foreign investment? Sinn Fein that are sort of okay about the EU? Sinn Fein that discouraged protests against the British Queen in Dublin? Sinn Fein that have the blood of at least four of the hungers strikers on their hands? Sinn Fein that are in coalition with the semi-fascist DUP adminstrating Troy cuts in the six counties? That Sinn Fein do you mean?
    we can't be at war with the British forever, the north in time will sort itself out and there's a clear path for that which has never existed before and dialogue is the key. But as the British are our closest neighbours and main trading partner we should show a level of respect toward their head of state regardless of our feelings towards her or the notion of royal families in general. Sinn Fein didn't discourage protests as SF were actively protesting but in a peaceful way, look at the militant way in the 32CSM protested for example and I was there by the way.

    If SF pull out of the coalition with the DUP then the assembly falls, what's the point in that? the bigger picture is to keep in the game and stay active while pushing from within, the DUP are indeed fascists but they're elected representitives and we can't run away from that fact. Hopefully the unionist people cop on eventually that their party doesn't represent them. SF are constantly making gains in the north and hopefully they become the main party, and there's nothing they can do about Tory cuts but to keep raising the issue of more autonomy to the executive to set and administer their own tax and spending.

    It's mad, people are so willing to believe the British and media creation of a boogey man that they will cling to any criticism.

    If it was Lowry or some other disaffected and disgruntled former member dissing the leader without any credible evidence other than their own bile, would they be willing to believe so fervently?
    Far as I can see SF is a democratically run party, no gerrymandering etc etc. How come he is still the longest serving leader of a political party in the western world...he must be doing something right.

    Of course the Provos carried out Kingsmill and no one punished for it- you cant admit though.

    The sectarian element of the Provisional movement is supporting the guess what basically sectarian GFA- the actually Republican element of the Provisional movement has long left it in the north.

    well firstly, thats utter tripe.
    secondly, i still dont see how you got that from me roundly condemning kingsmill

    Never mind unification, I eagerly await the day I can click on the last page of a thread about Gerry Adams or the North and actually see it still has some relevance to the first page. But no, it must be always dragged into the same old stupid arguments.

    These forums are ruined with this ****e.

    It also amazes me that the mods on this forum will crack down hard on people making unsubstaniated accusations about other public figures (Most recently on the thread about the Killally shooting http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=84432487&postcount=41) but allow unsubstaniated claims to be made on threads about the conflict on this island. It generally ruins the discussion too and I really think that the mods need to address this in a zero tolerance way.
    If you make an accusation you need to substaniate it. 'Don't let vitriol get in the way of facts' would be a good overall policy for these threads imo.

    I don't think it's all that amazing. There's an anti-Republican bias in the media and I don't think we should be so naive as to expect boards.ie to be any different.

    Some of the people who comment on these boards have pretty good standards until it comes to commenting on the north when it plummets to the point of laughable shite.

    SinnFéin threaten RTÉ with legal action arising from the programme
    RTE's 'Prime Time' team has said they are "not in the least concerned" over Sinn Fein threats of legal action following Miriam O'Callaghan's "robust" interview with party leader Gerry Adams. http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/ocallaghan-not-worried-as-sinn-fein-threatens-legal-bid-29244132.html

    And if he threataned with menace like a certain fianna fail senator you would be on complaining aswell. Or maybe he should have had a running gun battle through the streets like another fianna fail gangster!

    You really can't win, and that is even if the DOB mouthpiece in the independent is to be believed!

    Sure she hasn't. I guess SF announced they were referring it to their lawyers for no reason at all. How could we be so cynical to see this a threat of legal action? ;)
