The wondrous adventures of Sinn Fein (part 3) Mod Notes and Threadbanned List in OP

Sephiroth_dude

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)

She really is a thorn in the side of Sinn Fein.

"You don't get much lower than former journalist and secret IRA supporter Roy Greenslade's attack on my motivation in going public, says Mairia Cahill"

At elections counts, i said.

Very relevant to the point.

something rings hollow

The IRA that fought the black and tans were made up of the type of men adorning the walls of the Taoiseachs office.

I know we look back at them romantically, with nostalgic eyes etc etc, but those men, members of the IRA were no shrinking violets who bombed and maimed their way through the island to achieve their aims.

This keeps getting overlooked, does no harm to remind people occasionally.

Shows how your mind operates, it was unfortunate at the time, and ideally shouldn't have happened in either conflict, but it did.

None were more morally correct or wrong than the other.

What you lads are at constantly, is pointing at someone else accusing them of farting, while your own y-fronts are plastered in skidmarks.

That you are using the word is your own concern.
To a nationalist in the north it is a redundant term, the terrorists were the oppressors.

You need to make that journey Jack.

You do realise there was a conflict/war? Which is now over.

As Mairia Cahill herself would tell you, that is what happens when the responsible state stands over and supports a sectarian, bigoted and untrusted police force, supported by local British Army militias and the British Army itself.

It would happen again tomorrow if the government were not held to account and would be a similar tragedy to the last time it happened.

Oh I fully agree. I'm just making the point however that FG and FF haven't exactly been great in their treatment of women either.

Go to the FG thread and talk about them.

This is a response to a Sinn Fein publicity campaign that will backfire on them.

Edit: Though how you think anybody can go any lower than the way Jean McConville was treated is beyond me.

This is a good idea. Let's start with Jean McConville and we can work from there to the present day?

it doesnt make what he wrote any less correct though

Sinn Féin taking action against Holohan after failure to remove Facebook post – Pearse Doherty https://www.independent.ie/podcasts/the-floating-voter/the-floating-voter-sinn-fein-taking-action-against-holohan-after-failure-to-remove-facebook-post-pearse-doherty-40163740.html

If he goes Independent they'll lose a seat. Only reason he was let in and tolerated for so long in SF was his celebrity.

Hopefully he doesn't join one of the far right parties

Guardian has apologised because Greenslade did not declare this under the original article about the BBC Spotlight programme about Cahill "NB: I have written in the past for An Phoblacht" https://www.theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2014/oct/28/bbc-sinn-fein
which he did in subsequent articles that mentioned Cahill https://www.theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2014/nov/03/irish-times-gerryadams https://www.theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2015/nov/12/controversial-bbc-programme-on-ira-case-shortlisted-for-award

“This fella made a comment, we told him that comment isn’t in keeping with the party’s view, we told him to withdraw it, he isn’t doing so, there’s a disciplinary procedure, the party will deal with that,” Mr Doherty told Independent.ie’s The Floating Voter podcast.

No pro FF FG GREEN etc journalists masquerading as neutral observers huh?
