Is it just me or have SF vanished?

Do you apply the same standard for alleged crimes by the other side, collusion etc?

Yes, I use the words 'alleged collusion' and 'alleged involvement' when referring to Dublin Monaghan for instance.

There's a difference in showing respect and showing yourself up for what you are though.
I doubt the Storey funeral was as much about respect as it was about showing your colours.
Today is about respect, the Gardas was about respect, there's a big difference.

Selective again.

People go to funerals to pay respect or out of respect for the deceased. Nice demeaning of a certain group of people.
I have absolutely no doubt that many of those who lined the streets for Storey would want to do the same for Hume.

But Mary Lou says that that is party policy in solidarity with the unemployed and workers on low pay. Are you calling her a liar?

Its only policy for some

SF staged a massive "funeral" which did not even end with a burial!

Deputy McDonald re-emphasised the need for caution and to be guided by public health advice.

its apparently grand to blame sf and the IRA for something theres no proof they had anything to do with, yet on the otherhand still apparently believing in justice and democracy with the right to being innocent until proven guilty.

Personally i think thats a bit ****ed up because you cant say the former and believe in the latter.

But you can, being innocent until proven guilty is a law term.
Everyone who faces trial is believed guilty by someone or they wouldn't be there in the first place.
An organisation like the IRA can be even known to be guilty of something, but finding the person or persons to charge and proving it in court very hard.
Many IRA claimed atrocities have never been brought to trial as no individual could be proven to have committed them, but we know the IRA did it.

Mate....your claiming they run by the british....surely its a fairly obvious extraction then,the brits are to blame for the bombing??

Your happy enough to badger a poster for how x incident helped nationlists......how did it help british security,letting it go ahead (since yous believe ira riddled with informers,surely the brits are to blame,for not stopping it??)?

As I said, you take liberties with the truth yourself and have made some god almighty clangers.

Like stating that Nationalists today are no better off than 40 years ago.
Blaming the PSNI for the murder of Lyra McKee. Classic victim-blaming.

Are you a New IRA supporter?

Imagining things like that does nothing for me. Whatever floats yer boat as they say.

sure adams would have every right to dance whatever way he wants - unclothed and with teddy or not - on his trampoline anyway as long as he's keeping it private.

Looks like truthvader likes the idea of less rights ... not for everyone mind, but if other people say someone should have less rights then sure they'd be right? Same logic behind the british government saying the IRA robbed a bank so therefore it must be true. like they'd never lie

Much much weirder that Gerry Adams is bouncing naked on his trampoline with his teddy rather that in prison for directing terrorism, murder theft etc

Not even SF supporters think it wasn’t the IRA who were behind the bank robbery, and that Bobby Storey was actively involved in its planning. They know deep down it was, and that’s why the denials always seem so half-hearted and hollow.

Thats some achievement when you think about it.

so anyone done for money laundering is automatically linked to the robbery? How do you work that out. as I say, no-one in SF or the IRA has ever been put away or charged with the robbery. yet there was 50 gs in an RUC leisure centre directly linked to the robbery.

Explain that one for me (and leave out the hilarious 'the ira snuck in and put it there' routine)
