    Well that's embarrassing.

    I'm confused here, Gerry Adams makes a tweet condemning the death of a young blameless victim, and you say the balaclava slipped:confused:



    Edit. Oh I see now, Gerry Adams replying to Gerry Adams. Doh....

    Reminds me of a certain individual thanking his own scatological posts.

    "The IRA is gone" but still one of those who bombed Birmingham stated at the recent inquest that IRA leadership in Dublin gave him permission to name the bombers.
    Do they think we are complete fools?

    Gerry Adams has forgotten a huge amount over the years, so forgetting to switch accounts on Twitter is but a minor example of his forgetfulness.

    Does any well known person who has a high volume of tweets own their account exclusively?
    Where would they find the time?

    To be fair it's probably just someone employed to manage Sinn Feins social media accounts that made the blunder.

    ...at least they didn't accidentally login to McGuiness's Twitter :PAC:

    To be fair? It’s highly dishonest.

    As said earlier a lot of people have others operating their social media presence. Sure even before social media people other than the recipient used to reply to letters etc

    If it wasn't for the serious nature of the topic it could well be Gerry replying to himself, the man has form on twitter for bizarre, irreverent, stream of consciousness tweets. More like the pr guy screwed in this case though

    Did he not big up his account as being operated by himself in the past? His rubber duck posts and whatnot?

    Talking to yourself is not that serious.
    Answering yourself is a big problem.

    Look behind you Gerry ........

    I highly doubt Adams runs his own Twitter account.

    Nothing doing here.

    I dont know. Even on boards we all have multiple accounts and we have made similar slips a times. Its just the nature of modern social media profiles.
    Let he that is without sin etc.

    Whoever is writing his tweets has just shown how staged they are.

    “I’ll write the first tweet this way so that I can reply to it under another name this way”

    Just makes the first tweet insincere.

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

    Speak for yourself.

    Also, aren't multiple accounts a breach of the Boards terms of use???

    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

    Slow news day. 70 year old pensioner makes mistake on twitter (if it was him).

    In other news, rain is wet.
