Complete with selfies at the graveside because that’s the sort of thing politicians do. Abnormal party. Sinister populist nationalism.

Mr Storey's coffin was driven from his home in west Belfast late on Tuesday morning for his funeral at St Agnes' Church on the Andersonstown Road. Large numbers of people lined the route and the cortege was followed at a distance by a large number of mourners. After Requiem Mass, Mr Storey's remains were taken to Milltown Cemetery where speeches were made by senior republican figures including former Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams. His body was then taken to Roselawn Cemetery in east Belfast, where it was cremated at about 15:30.

She was also criticised for posing for a photograph at Milltown cemetery, where a man had his arm around her shoulders. She subsequently said this incident took place "in the blink of an eye" and "shouldn't have happened".

It seems to me now that social distancing guidelines were pretty much the only thing that was broken at the Storey funeral. Garda Horkans funeral, was in the middle of lockdown though, and the mourners there broke the exact same guidelines, and not a word. It speaks volumes when need to tell intentional lies when you try and score a point at someone's funeral.

FrancieBrady wrote: » Just a few posts ago Brendi, I made a claim. When it was pointed out that I was wrong, I accepted it, I didn't deflect or engage in invective to mask the fact I made a mistake. You however have still not addressed the question you were asked about the propaganda spread around this funeral, SF's part in, I have criticised from the get go. It is important to challenge propaganda because it usually grows wings. This morning we had Johnny arrive on thread and it has now spread to there being 'no body' in the coffin. So do your bit for the truth and answer the question: 'Do you still believe that there was ever meant to be a 'burial'?'http://www.healybrothers.co.uk/obituaries/Storey_Bobby_21-June-2020

FrancieBrady wrote: » The police will decide what was illegal, not you or I. My opinion would be the same as yours , hence why I criticised SF from the get go. Can you just back up something you said by the way. Where did Belfast City COuncil apologise for 'breaking regulations'? I haven't seen that statement. I have seen one where they apologise to the other families left waiting. Not saying it doesn't exist, but would like to see it.
blanch152 wrote: » https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-53305886 The regulations were only applied to Storey's funeral, special corrupt privileged treatment for the political party in government. "New guidance on funeral services was not officially changed on the Department of Health's website until Thursday night - two days after Mr Storey's funeral." One law for the corrupt party of government in the North, another law for the ordinary people.
blanch152 wrote: » You have been corrected on this so many times it should be embarrassing for you. The regulations on funerals were broken, as the link from the BBC provided to you demonstrated, hence the apology from Belfast City Council and the internal investigations as well as the police investigations. Heads will roll in Belfast City Council for their part in the funeral, but the SF lads just go on their merry way.
McMurphy wrote: » Keep up Blanch, I never mentioned "indoor funeral restrictions" this is another argument you invented and now wish to run with lol , I mentioned lockdowns being lifted, meaning people were free to travel to any other point on the island they seen fit. Besides, you have been harping on for long enough now that "it wasn't a funeral" - now it is? Is your real name Felipe Fillop?
FrancieBrady wrote: » 'Like' Brendan Bendar Jeff. A comparison. Brendan Bendar was the person who talked about fake burials, LIKE you talked about 'fake' protests from Shinners. When somebody uses the word 'like' they are comparing.
McMurphy wrote: » O You see this is just you purposely misrepresenting what I'm comparing, and what I quite clearly posted about (like others - you even quoted me FFS) I never compared Garda Horkan with Bobby Storey, I compared the mourners at each funeral breaking guidelines. Either you excuse/show empathy for both or none at all. Another lie dismantled.
mynamejeff wrote: » your comparing two funeral's that's exactly what you are comparing , abet one a legit state funeral one a terrorist organisation one , again a weak argument on your behalf
McMurphy wrote: » It's quite apt to compare them, one took place in the midst of lockdown, and mourners in attendance including FG ministers were witnessed disregarding social distancing guidelines in place, and quite tightly this was overlooked by all because most people have some empathy, and wouldn't stoop to the levels of taking pots at the mourners to score a point. You claimed I was trying to score a point mentioning Garda Horkans funeral - a lie that was dismantled. You also claimed I was comparing the death of Garda Horkan with that of Bobby Storey, another lie ,- dismantled. Try again Jeff.
