    The problem is that your definition of Irishness is too restrictive.

    Unless someone is rabidly in favour of a United Ireland, then they are not Irish in your opinion. That is a hangover of reductionist SF thinking.

    Someone like me, who is a proud GAA follower and Irish music lover, but who doesn't believe in immediate Irish unity and is apathetic about the Irish language is somehow less of an Irishman. God knows what you think of the recently naturalised.

    There is a reason why Ireland never had a far-right. All the knuckleheads were recruited into the extremist republican way of thinking.

    Here you go, states exactly that... Numerous other sources back this up as well. Deny all you like but they're scum who back the new IRA and saw nothing wrong with marching after a 29 year old got murdered by them.

    Bunch of total scum bags hiding behind politics and ideals, thugs looking for an excuse to hurt people and cause trouble.

    Garda commissioner should have instructed the Garda to baton charge these scum bags and crack a few skulls.

    No one with an once of decency wants anything to do with these criminals. They should be outlawed and classed as a terrorist organisation.

    The article states that they are backed by the New IRA. Not that Saoradh officially backs the New IRA or it’s terrorism.

    I don’t mean to be a pedantic nitpicker here but, I’m not going to say that Saoradh should be banned unless they are actively calling for violence and/or have been responsible for violence themeselves.

    As much as I despise their ideology, these fools have the right to Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Association to the extent that they do not incite violence or commit it.

    Next time they march, they should be fenced in on all sides by people carrying a large tarpaulin type thing that hides them completely.

    Paint pictures in the outside depicting what disgusting cretins are on the inside.

    What do you think this would have achieved? Their membership would have gone up, not down. You would literally be handing them free propaganda about how the Irish state has sold out on reunification and how our new former PSNI Garda Commisioner is a unionist puppet.

    This would have been an extremely bad thing to do.
    Let them march so we can make fun of them and the second that we find out they’re involved in illegal activity, arrest their leadership and force them to disband.

    Wanting these scum bags to get a hiding off the Garda and them actually getting one is the difference between fantasy and reality - meaning I'd love to see them get their comeuppance, but know in reality they were never going too.

    This crowd are pond scum, the lowest form of life there is, they live on the fringes of civilised society, I have nothing but loathing and contempt for them.

    Anyone who tries to defend this scum is of their ilk.

    the acts dont excuse this. in any way.

    the fact a tiny % of people dont agree with GFA don't excuse this. in any way.

    I didn't excuse it. Janfebmar has a peculiar bent to put words in people's posts that are not there.

    I didn't excuse it .

    You did.

    You EXPLICITLY blamed partition.
    There will be no peace in Ireland until we deal with partition.

    Not for the first time you have been hung by your own words Francie.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,766 ✭✭✭mumo3


    I happened to be in town on Saturday with the OH and the kids, couldn't believe what I was seeing and everybody seemed to be the same, very quiet and somber atmosphere, worrying times between that poor girl being killed and the huge amount of ATM robberies it sent shivers down my spin

    Incase you are incapable of researching,

    During this attack on the community, a Republican Volunteer attempted to defend people from the PSNI/RUC. Tragically a young journalist covering the events, Lyra McKee, was killed accidentally while standing behind armed Crown Force personnel and armoured vehicles.

    But partition has been dealt with in the most democratic way possible quite some time ago with the GFA.

    Besides, I’m sure you are not deluded enough to believe that removal of the border would somehow be accepted peacefully by all.

    But you're hypocritical enough to okay with a violent minority once their behaviour suits your book:o

    That does not mention anywhere that Saoradh are responsible for her death.

    Violent loyalists arent an argument against the removal of the border as per the terms in the GFA then,but there you are using it.

    As you say: Bollocks
