You have shown me nothing, no law, no evidence of same. Enough of the princess talk. If there was a law breach, you would show me one. You cant. Just admit that you cant. And are you telling me, that there are calls for Sinn Fein High Ranking officials to resign over the same issue as someone having a house party or BBQ. Well that is amazing.

Bishop of hope wrote: » So you were just waffling about in your previous reply to me. You didn't even know, they went to the cemetery with the coffin, carried it shoulder high to the grave with the provo army council carrying it and did their graveside oration for the masses, gathered during a pandemic, and then snook the coffin off to a crematorium afterwards. Where have you been and why are you advising me to Google?

Bishop of hope wrote: » Just funning Francie, he told me to Google and then didn't know what he was talking about himself, jesus, did you read the link he put up. And the did snook, most thought the funeral was over at the grave.

They'd some neck assuming the public wanted this. They should apologise to the public. Thinking their funeral was more important. What was he doing producing a gun? I'd say we'll hear some interesting stuff come out' Sounds petty and tacky right?
Bishop of hope wrote: » No, it looks like a drunken ramble in honesty. The Belfast telegraph broke the story of the cremation of Storey the day after the funeral, it wasn't known about on the day of the funeral, I linked it the next day and the story about the crematorium and the controversy with staff sent home and all the hoo ha that nobody knew about on the day of the funeral. It's there in my posts, look it up.

FrancieBrady wrote: » A funeral is a 'staged' event Mark. You can have everything from a State one to a simple one. A horse drawn carraige to a tractor to carry you off. And it is only 'fake' if you don't know and assume something is happening that is not. I would wager a bet that all there knew what was happening.
markodaly wrote: » "Staged: contrived for a desired impression " Funerals normally don't traipse the remains all over town and head to the graveyard for a jolly, and then when its over, sneak off to the crematorium. It's all a bit odd.
Bowie wrote: » As staged as every other funeral. This is getting funny though. Have you ever heard of a funeral director? What's next the tears didnt have your standard amount of salt? I'll tell you what's odd you and others obsession and inability to see your hypocrisy. Seriously lads pitiful stuff. I've officially lost interest but I might chime in to laugh and point.
