Is it just me or have SF vanished?

I haven't seen or heard anything from Mary Lou, Slab Murphy and other good Republicans in ages.

What's going on?

I would hope so too but since they have never been in charge of a government there is no way of knowing if they would or not.

Agreed. I did say 'hoped'. It was a hypothetical.

Mary Lou is on the late late show tomorrow night to tell us how she survived the virus.

Everything about Sinn Fein being in government is hypothetical isn't it?

"Taught"? Obviously you mean"thought"
There was never a link between Labour and the Official I.R.A.

Gilmore, Rabbitte etc all left Democratic Left because there was a hard core of ex Official I.R.A. people who wanted to follow strict Stalinist Centrist control of the Party. Trying to portray the Officials as having links or control of the Labour Party is incorrect

Ex taniste eamonn gilmore would like yous.to think this

Why is it,he never refuted membership of this either btw....its generally accepted by most that him and several other previous senior labour members were at one time members of the offial ira

Now i would be a pure hypocrite,if i claimed this bothered me,that day is long since past

You sure? I thought Leo and Mickey refused to speak to Sinn Fein.
And thanks for your correction of my spelling mistake"Tiocfaidh ar La".OK?

Long before 2020 S.F. were refusing to talk to parties.
Good work on the spelling.

That's how it works, until they are.

For once we might excuse a LLS host for not sitting by the leader of SF

You could say The workers party had a bit of a connection to the stickies though.

And you could also say Gilmore had a bit of an auld connection to the workers party.

I have no idea why his reasons for parting though, I don't know if you do either?

See my edit above. The reason they left W.P was because there was a group in W.P. who wanted to maintain a separate secret group. Gilmore Rabbitte then formed Democratic Left and eventually joined Labour.
The Lost Revolution by Brian Hanley gives a good account of all this

So much for not wanting to be a distraction at the time of crisis. :rolleyes:

She was an eegit and being over cautious when her kids school had covid19 cases, and she was an eegit for withdrawing for public life when she actually had covid19 too.

It's a problem when she's making a public appearance, she's in hiding when she isn't.

Nice to see your consistency is standing by you, seeing as credibility has long since deserted you.

Not really, we can see what a dog’s dinner they have made of this crisis up North with the Irish Times saying that deaths are running at 40% more than down here.

Just imagine the sh1te she’ll be going on with. She really is an awful windbag. No wonder no other party wanted to deal with her. Left or right.

This bolloxology has been dealt with already on the thread, ask blanch should you have any further queries on that one.

But forget that, let's deal with the contradictions in your posts, what do you want, complain about McDonald for withdrawing from public appearances because she's a head cold, (your words, not mine) or complain about her making a (very) public appearance (post covid + pleurisy as a complication of the first ailment) ?

The two complaints are like water and oil - you can't exactly mix them.

Called you out ages ago, all arse no trousers. Pick a stance and stick to it.

Take a drink everytime she uses an anecdote that cannot be proven in any shape or form but suits here narrative

Take two drinks for each sentence that starts with "I was talking to a ... "

In all seriousness glad to see she has recovered and hopefully it concentrates on her experience and isn't purely political.

If Tubs had any balls on him, which he clearly doesn't it would be two simple questions

1. Can you explain why you think you should be part of a government in Ireland when you have shown you are incapable of even running a power-sharing agreement in the North?
2. You advertise for SFOS(SF Online Supporters), do you support the "bully boy" tactic seen all over the internet by SF supporters against other parties? (can easily find a picture of FF facebook with people calling older Irish people XYZ because they support FF)

Follow up-to number 2 when she deny's the bully boy tactics
Could you explain why one of your politicians used those tactics on Facebook recently? Plus the constant stream of misinformation on twitter from majority of you politician? which are constantly having to delete tweets?

Perhaps tubridy shouldnt take advice off someone who didnt think he had cv-19 and thinks its just "a bit of a PR exercise"

Your in no position to lecture anyone,hold any moral high ground or throw out baseless accusations of bullying,when you carry on,the way yous do

Attack the post, not the poster

You had an issue since I asked about your brilliant insight into the SF health document. So the more I wind you up the better :P

Did you say you are a teacher? :eek:

Hmm....i still stand over this...it was good and several doctors stated so??
(Quite why someone who thinks cv-19 is a pr exercise,thinks they know better than doctors is beyond me,but there we have it now)

Nah mate,not a teacher....and that post wasnt attacking you either,it highlighted hyprocrsy across several of your posts??

(Quite why your so fragile to think this is a personal attack is beyond me,but i apoligise if it upsets you)

Accusing others of bullying,for daring to hold a different view,is just an attempt at shutting down discussion as you dislike your views challenged

Wonder will he take the hostile approach with her that her took with Gerry Adams? Highly unlikely .ALL the tough questions will be avoided and it will be more propaganda i would imagine.

Fairplay Eamon, all he needs now is the other members of his party to agree to him becoming a minister over everything else, and then the FFG party (as they're one singular party now) to ratify the 17 demands they set out yesterday (or the day before)

It's not a national government of unity either. Which is what he was banging on about.

New election campaign incoming, calling it now.

Keep up Mc
Eamon has moved on from unity now that we're flattening the curve
They're more interested in opportunities

Any points you make are negated by this type of childishness.

As I said - Eamon has to worry about the rest of the party sacrificing their careers in politics so Eamon can get a ministerial position. Eamon isn't the green party, Eamon is Eamon - you are failing to separate the two.

Doubt it, more of a line a
Tubs: "Oh I was very sick"
ML " Really Thank God you survived but I was sicker"
Tubs" Thank God, tell us how sick"
ML: "Very very sick, but lets talk about CHANGE" (que random placed sinners in crowd to start roaring)
Tubs " Yes, Change what does that mean to you"
ML " Change is what the people want" (que random placed sinners in crowd to start roaring)
Tubs "So during your illness did you think about change"

Dribble would be the best description of what i expect

The most hard hitting question will be
Tubs "So how did you do your shopping while sick?"
