    Part 1 here
    Part 2 here


    All mod warnings from part 1 remain in effect

    All thread bans from previous threads remain in effect



    I have updated the OP of this thread with a list of threadbanned users, I would advise posters to check on this before posting in the thread again or a forum sanction will be imposed for breaching same.

    If you want to discuss your threadban feel free to PM the banning mod (or myself if you can't remember who that is and I'll point you in the right direction).

    The topic is SF, not other political parties or politicians from other parties

    Final warning - permanent threadbans for any posters trying to make it a discussion of other parties (where there are already active threads running for most of them)

    Not fake ,look up RIP.ie from around 2 weeks ago, put the names in Google and see what comes up, , you know who he is its not the first time the association has been made, I'm sure the usual statement is ready for the media

    What 'names' should one be putting into Google?
    You are being awfully coy about this, which tells me a lot.

    As an aside, surprise surprise the first post on the new SF thread is about 'FG' :pac:

    Sound to me like some kind of troll farm carry on. fake ID's been set up in other people names with the intention of plus ones, naff stuff on social media and proposing to support iffy/disagreeable stuff in general. Its what troll farms do, anything to damage other peoples reputations and support social unrest. I am always wary of the internet and rarely believe what I see unless it's verified and proven.

    SF continually attempts to character assassinate their main rivals within FG. I suppose it's better than actual assassination.

    Did you see this latest one?

    Seems some people never learn.

    "Tina Burke, who sits on Derry City and Strabane District Council, wrote on social media: "Today we laid a stalwart of the Derry republican family to rest" and "Great send-off for an even greater man.""

    Understand Martina Anderson was at that funeral as well, or was it the other one the previous week?

    SF are a banter party. It is staggering how many people take them seriously. They are also the most sensitive support base of any party, they take any satire about them from Waterford Whispers and the like particularly badly.

    Disclaimer: I represent no party and will most likely spoil my next vote.

    I haven’t seen the comments but based on your post, there is a difference between

    (1) attacking the character of people which you report Leo complained about
    (2) attacking a political party which you accuse Leo of

    No irony, based on your summation. Maybe you would dig out the exact quotes so that we can make our own judgement.

    I suggest you read up so, lest you come across as foolish. Its quite easy to click. The post links are there. You trying to make this about Leo is bizarre quite frankly, bordering on obsession.

    Will they ever learn?

    Even the mealy-mouthed words of Gerry Kelly leave a nasty whiff - "he was "fairly certain" no Sinn Féin assembly members were present" - but there were quite a few local councillors.

    Do people think that the councillors who attended that funeral should resign? Or do they get a pass because they are Sinn Fein?

    Mr Kelly said the following;
    Mr Kelly said that while a small number of Sinn Féin representatives paid their respects "in a personal capacity", to his knowledge no party members were part of the cortege.

    He added that he was "fairly certain" no Sinn Féin assembly members were present.

    People are lining roadsides all over the island for funerals and are told to do so in funeral notices on RIP.ie. Attended on last week myself. Funeral I was at also had Gardai on duty.

    I see Sinn Fein sneaked in quite a few crony appointments over the christmas period.

    https://www.pressreader.com/ireland/the-corkman/20201231/281754156940686

    Good old anti-vaxxer, failed candidate Liadh landed herself a plumb job with nice fee and expenses on top of her sinecure as a €70,000 Irish language activist job.

    Nice to have friends in high places who can fix you up.

    So a party putting forward a party member to join a board in an area they are familiar with under the GFA, to be joined by other people put forward by their parties, (DUP/SDLP) is crony? Good to know that's the bar :)

    She's no anti vax either Blanch. Trying to pile on a nothing story. A short Google, she'd reservations about HPV as did many. Poor effort.

    Never 'screamed' about political appointments ever...may have about who has gotten appointed though.

    'Sneaked' and 'Screamed', we're plumbing the old thesaurus today for the negative words.

    Well if the Psni are to be consistent then they need to get a pass. All republicans have got a pass so far including their leader in the north.
    I see at the weekend that the other sectarian gangsters have joined the party as the Uvf had a funeral that broke the regulations.

    Understand that after the funeral, Sinn Fein decided not to include him in the Roll of Honour, because of the embarrassment the funeral has caused them, hence the decision of the family to break with Sinn Fein, it's all out there if you look.

    Get off the stage, you have been shouting and screaming for the last couple of years about any ex-politician appointed by Fine Gael or Fianna Fail. This was a crony appointment by Sinn Fein, should also be an investigation into how she got her 70k job as well.

    She is anti-vax, has never clarified properly her comments.

    Don't lie about me to cover your blushes. The ex politician getting a job as a personal driver or board appointment in IW were hum dingers allright.
    What's crony about the appointment? From the article you linked the SDLP and DUP are following suit. The board was put together under the umbrella of the GFA.
    Hey, if you think that's crony, good for you.

    She'd a problem with the HPV and has clarified she's cool with it now. As many FG/FF at same. Your dishonest efforts to call shinners anti-vaxxers is tired. You threw it in there to help your nothing story.

    Well, fori nstance, the criteria for the Memorial Gardens is pretty clear. The names of the 50,000 Irishmen who died in WWI is listed there. I think the names of the 82 rebels who died in 1916 are all included on the 1916 Roll of Honour in the National Museum.

    You're being sold short. Thirty to fifty posts a day supporting Sinn Fein should entitle you to at least an honorary membership, if not the average industrial wage or a place their shinnerbot Roll of Honour.

    No idea, haven't looked into it. Just found your hypocrisy and total lack of self awareness quite amusing.

    Political appointments have been made since the foundation of the state, it becomes crony political appointments for a set of reasons, who is being appointed, why and what qualifications they have.

    You obviously don't understand how the process of board appointments has changed in the South.

    http://www.stateboards.ie/stateboards/

    There is now an independent process for appointments to State boards, which I have welcomed (brought in by the FG government, by the way).

    By contrast, these appointments by Sinn Fein were outside such a process, involved blatant cronyism, and at least one completely unsuitable appointee.

    Not even a little bit hypocritical of me when I support the independent process. The hypocrisy is from those who are defending Sinn Fein on this occasion.
