The Shinners aren't backing off on their view of the conflict/war (listen to MLMD's several interviews on the matter) You are entitled to your view but that is the height of it.

I think the British have no business in Ireland, but I respect that unionists differ and it can't be all one way. You are no different than a hardline nationalist or hardline unionist. Your way or nothing. That makes your view part of the problem.

Whats that got to do with dredging dirt on opponents This looks more like applying the new standard to themselves? Am I missing something here? I surely must be And you better answer that quick francie before the west Dublin shopping centre thanks me again Its getting embarrassing :O

If you think that the events of 27 August were a good thing, you are not a normal person. Simple as that. I am not denying people free will or other views or the right to hold an opinion, no more than I would deny Gemma O'Doherty or a holocaust denier to hold an opinion. I am just saying that anyone who approves of Warrenpoint or Mullaghmore is not a normal person in the same way that anyone who approves of Bloody Sunday is not a normal person. Simple as that.

It's not really the point anyway, your one (McNeil) was wheeled out to complain about how sinister it was for party members to challenge other party members on content posted on social media. Even COM was tweeting about it.https://twitter.com/christineomg5/status/1337189114433728512?s=19https://twitter.com/christineomg5/status/1337196159866167297?s=19

Basically, he saw social media he didn't like for the party optics and called around to ask her to delete it. He lived around the corner. Knocking in wasn't a deal IMO. FG and posters on here lied and spun it that SF sent the heavies around. She saw social media she didn't like, asked to meet the chap and upon meeting him threatened him to step aside his candidacy. Now that's without the 't'was a dark chill night...' crap. Trying to make it about Covid is fair enough but it ignores the numerous comments over days spun to make him calling around sound like a sinister action when it wasn't and we have this one actually threatening this chap. So take them as you may but recognise the hypocrisy, (and silence) from the FG lobby.
