We see this yarn posted every so often. Merely claims of hypocrisy from hypocrites. This isn't defending SF either by the way.

Can people quit defending the indefensible.. Call a spade a spade...SF aren’t perfect...no party is.

Sinn Fein told their members that the Storey funeral was a free-for-all with everyone welcome and Michelle and Mary-Lou led the charge. Both should do the decent thing and resign. Still we have odious comparisons made between the two funerals, truly nauseating each time to see it.

Bowie wrote: » Yawn...they both engaged in the exact same flouting of social distancing. I don't care if Elvis Presley himself gave either funeral the go ahead, both should not have been held in the manner they were. You are making excuses for one and pretending to be outraged by the other.
