    I highly doubt Adams runs his own Twitter account.

    Nothing doing here.

    He definitely does or did at least, there is no one else out there posting tweets like his

    I don't. Is this usual behaviour nowadays? It should be a site ban to have multiple accounts imo.

    Just do an ip ban on the earlier alluded to scatological poster, who has graced this very thread with at least one of his usernames so far, and half the usernames on this website are gone. It has got much worse in recent months.

    Gerry Adams has never heard of Twitter

    Gerry Adams has no connection to Twitter

    But Gerry Adams understands why twitter has come about.
    We need to change the environment that gives rise to Twitter and the
    need for Twitter. Responsible people on the other side need to take leadership
    and change the environment and situation that has given rise to Twitter.

    How do you do that ?

    This is probably not a growing site. Lack of appetite to ban users if there was a harmless type of multi-accounts that doesn't cause trouble. Trolling re regs would be different. But then they are probably using vpns with changing ip addresses and dns servers.

    Well ya ****!

    The man is a pathological liar and narcissist.

    Well he has a bit of form on that front. When he used say that "I spoke to the IRA" he meant he was talking to the bathroom mirror

    Maybe it was just IRA Gerry replying to SF Gerry.

    Some interesting thread derailment being attempted there, can’t imagine it’ll do much to distract from the “Dear Leader’s” embarrassing faux pas though.

    Not as big a faux pas as Mary Lou McDonald strutting in behind that England out of Ireland banner though.

    Not much happening here except people having a bit of a laugh at Gerry’s expense.

    Surely you don’t take this mistake all that seriously.

    Yes that was a disaster for an Irish republican group who believe England should get out of Ireland.

    But Gerry Adams was never in the IRA, so would not know. :rolleyes:

    Yep. I fully supported the armed struggle but that banner was a step too far.

    I for one fully believed that the whole world had headed to hell in a handcart that fateful day I saw the leader of an Irish republican political party,(and them with a fundamental main policy of a United Ireland) and that wretched banner in the same photo.

    On my knees howling I was.

    A real "where were you the day that story broke?" moment and no mistake.

    Not surprised at this. SF well known for their Twitter antics.

    The only question left is does he reply to himself on boards?

    Or does he just thank his other accounts when they post something he agrees with?

    You are pronouncing it incorrectly. The "London" is silent.

    Shinnerbots infiltrated boards at one point. They are still here, hiding in the long grass, but not as prominent thank god.

    And then the said Mary Lou " Chucky" condemns the violence in Derry while the Sinn Fein shop continues to sell T shirts emblazoned with " tiochfaidh ar La", and Armalite rifle images.
