    It's right there in the screenshot, it's a private page anyone can find - the privacy aspect (I assume) refers to the ability to either post to, or read the contents within.

    The rules are clearly laid out for people to read and promise to abide to before asking to join, again an assumption as I'm not exactly au fait with private FB groups for the aforementioned reasons.

    Suggesting the shinners are covertly operating it however actually is tinfoil hat stuff.

    Ah I'd need my glasses to see that small ;)
    So you can't read posts unless you are a member
    Those are the rules then for posting on the page,presumably for to be courteous to other fans
    It's not the rules for organised shilling on other sites which obviously is hidden to non members ?

    How do you know this is the site the SBP refers to btw?
    I find your dismissal of mothership involvement improbable

    Asks people to be courteous to each other - fans or otherwise, also asks trolls shills and spammers to stay away.

    16k number is a strong indicator.

    I don't really care.

    I find the insinuation they are operating it covertly conspiracy theory territory.

    Another insight into how a country would be run by Sinn Fein:

    https://www.rte.ie/news/coronavirus/2020/0428/1135264-covid19-coronavirus-border/

    "However, proper investigation of this specific virus pattern is a problem, according to Dr Scally, because in Northern Ireland the available data is "quite poor" and testing for Covid-19 is not as widespread as in the Republic. "

    I am not at all impressed with SF milking covid19 for political gain this week. Its arrogant and wholly unpleasant behavior.

    Why does SF seem to atrract so many hostile, aggressive in your face loutish abrasive supporters to their party? And chav like? Ignorant and aggressively so...

    I used to admire them, but a lot of their supporters are just downright rough!

    So many seem so uncouth, undignified and lacking general gentleness and human kindness...They’d see harm done to you and not give a fook..

    It’s so prevalent and obvious, particularly online..

    Is it that SF are, and have been actively pursuing this fan base?

    Any chance you might link to them doing this so I could simultaneously determine you're not just spouting bollocks (again) and vent my disgust at them should it be true?


    Should I count to a million while I wait?

    I'd say Louise o'Reilly knows what the 19 in Covid-19 means though in fairness.

    That's a little bit unfair, while they do have supporters like that and they are the more vocal ones especially online. I don't think they court them as such but don't admonish them either, but you would have to ask how come so many felt excluded by the political system in the first place.


    It is an interesting question as to why the more chip on the shoulder aggressive political supporters are a large part of the SF base.

    Eh, no......last I checked Sinn Fein were in power in the North.

    Unless that is all a sham?

    I don’t think it is unfair at all, and SFs way of doing things seems to be either encouraging it or playing up to it.

    They just always seem to come across as overly combative, lacking nuance and subtlety. Aggressive politics seems to be their only way.

    I really think a gentler and more diplomatic and accommodating stance would see them with even more supporters, and more desirable ones..

    SF are just like the Brexit party, as soon as they get a sniff of having to fulfil their stated objectives (potential to get some power) they fall apart like a cheap balaclava.

    A lot of them are the local dirtbirds who think prancing around with an Easter Lily will give them a hardman image. They'd piss in their pants if someone fired a water pistol at them and would give a better shot at naming the Liverpool team than the 1916 Proclamation signatories.

    The self preservation society otherwise known as FFG are strong in this thread.

    I'm neither FF nor FG, just a realist, good reactionary assumption though!
    We can thank our lucky stars that the grown ups were still in power when this virus hit... what would SF have done?
    Run away from power because things got too ouchy?

    I am the exact same...

    No party affiliations whatsoever. I tend to warm to nice people, thoughtful, caring, kind and gentle...firm, but fair people. I just never get that vibe from those who seem to push for SF.......

    MLM comes across as someone who is kind and caring and good and honest and decent.....so do some other SF members.....the party as a whole just attracts so many the opposite...

    Take social media....

    I don't think any other following seems to be so aggressive and crude and rough in their voicings of support for their party like you see with SF; a real toerag rough element online. Every second word is a swear word, and no bother at all calling people horrible and vile names online...dog eat dog classless engagement

    But SF seem to warm to this, or at least, not be eager to get away from it...

    Again stating what is going to be done anyway and when it’s done claim it was her idea .

    An all a Ireland solution?? SF weren’t too quick to find an all Ireland solution when we start locking down south.

    Seriously, do you really think nobody in government has had a discussion about how to get out of lockdown?


    She is stating the obvious and then trying to take credit....
